On the other side of the former Kroger, we find a police station, a place that will manage your eBay auctions for you, and 'Behavioral Consultants', which I assume must be either a firm of downmarket psychoanalysts or a sales-training firm. Farther to the right, out of frame, is a banquet center.

Why is it that banquet centers and antique/gift/useless crap stores seem to be able to pay the rent in spaces that nobody else can make a go of? Most small towns now have a Wal-Mart and a thousand antique stores as their entire retail base.
