The business row in Seaford on Merrick Road seems to total about 167 commercial enterprises in a distance of about 1.3 miles. On the morning of January 12, 2009, I counted about 80 businesses on the south side of Merrick Road from Cedar Creek (East Bay Diner) to Seaford Creek (Tackapausha). It seems that four of these locations are empty: an home theater dealer opposite Kenora Place, and, at Willoughby Avenue, a Korean vegetable store (which offered excellent produce) and two others.

The north side of Merrick Road from Fir Street (Seaford School District, but Wantagh Post Office) to Seaford Creek has about 87 stores. Several vacancies occur between Spruce St. and Willoughby Avenue and again between Kenora Place and Seaford Avenue.
