The Guercio’s grocery store real estate portfolio on Grant Street is officially for sale, listed at $995,000. The sale of the property includes the three connected storefronts, as well as a 10,000 square foot warehouse in the back. This is an incredible opportunity for someone that wants to participate in the renaissance of Grant Street.
Yes, there have been some ups and downs as of late, but there have been more “ups,” thankfully.
Recently it was discovered that the Lorigo’s Meating Place building would be turned into a self storage facility. That’s a big down.
