Local Grocer wants to sell.  Just listed in MLS today, you’ll find a new business opportunity for sale.  Quoting from the Bay Area Real Estate Information Services(BARIES MLS), the business is described as such,

“Very long established country general and liquor store as this store has been in existence since 1867! It is a locally owned & operated with a unique location and old fashioned country charm. This 3000 square foot facility has a current rent of $1,700 per month. Lease term expires 5/2015, & there is one five year option to extend the lease. If you have ever dreamed of owning your own country general store, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

To locals, it is the cornerstone and mainstay of Tomales and surrounding areas.  The bread and butter place and a whole lot more. 

Generations of kids have bought candy there, locals can run a credit tag, purchase  fishing licenses or hardware.  It is our community’s lifeblood being a distance away from urban life. 

It is for sale!  Whoaaa!.  This could mean more change than Tomales is ready for.  Either the nature of the business as we know it and have become accustomed to, or just the possibility of a new management style makes you put some thought to it.  It is an opportunity, a business opportunity.   

This will be an interesting development in the center of Tomales’s Historic District.  All eyes are watching now, ears are listening.  

It has prime commercial potential on Highway One located at the gateway to the Coast in West Marin.
