So my theory is that the current resident in the photo (you stalker!) is moving or going out of business, and they have a vehicle lift, so the property is a really good choice. Proving this theory would involve poking around commercial real estate listings on the [MLS] Moore Listing Service (which is based out of Minneapolis, coincidentally).
Not really stalking, just using Google Maps and the address which had pictures available :wink:
Agree totally that rental/purchase of an existing service center would be a VERY wise investment as they would be able to start-up almost immediately upon occupancy...new signage could come later.
As for showroom locations, I'm still sticking with Galleria as it has a high volume of the desired target audience. I'd throw in 50th & France shopping district as another long-shot possibility if we're moving away from true shopping centers. Again, large volume of the desired target audience. Well, that and the fact that it's only a few blocks from my home
