West Hempstead in particular
What is different about the trip from West Hempstead
West Hempstead is the closest town the shop draws from — 1.9 road miles from Hempstead Avenue at Nassau Boulevard.
The approach is from the east on Hempstead Turnpike, so the turn onto Franklin Avenue is a left — the mirror of the Elmont approach.
No bus reaches the shop from West Hempstead: the n31 and n32 run down Hempstead Avenue and the n15 down Woodfield Road, all away from Franklin Square, and the West Hempstead Branch terminates in the village.
Southern State Parkway Exit 17 is West Hempstead's own Hempstead Avenue cloverleaf, and it is the wrong tool for a two-mile trip.
Every corner of the village sits within a 0.6-mile band of road distance from the shop, 1.9 to 2.5 miles — the tightest spread of any town.
West along Hempstead Turnpike, then left onto Franklin Avenue — the mirror of the way an Elmont customer arrives.
