Even while planning to expand its offerings to homeowners and builders, Debbie Grammer has put her St. John Cabinets and Interiors up for sale. The business represents Elmwood Cabinets and Top Knobs cabinet
hardware and is planning to add appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero. Asking price is $425,000.
This is Grammer’s second business in the Marketplace. She and her husband started the Mail Center.
Islandia Real Estate, the property's listing agency, says Grammer is “now ready to take on new challenges," but "will work closely with a new owner to facilitate a smooth and successful transition."
In other business news, Islandia reports that a competitor, Town & Country Real Estate is "downsizing and consolidating" by closing its office at Mongoose Junction to centralize at its Coral Bay location. A similar shift is being made by Holiday Homes: closing at Mongoose and concentrating on its Marketplace location.
Kind of odd to see two tenants depart Mongoose, given that the landlord and long-time island architect and builder Glen Speer has been generous to his tenants as they face a tough economy. Maybe real estate is even tougher.
Even with a reduction, paying two rents is more than paying one rent.
