At least two of Marblehead’s favorite businesses say they are staying put, despite a $9.6 million real estate deal involving several buildings along Washington Street.
The Crosby’s family has sold its properties in Marblehead to The Goldberg Brothers Real Estate LLC.
“We’re not going anywhere,” said Mike Bosse, who manages Crosby’s in Marblehead. “Nothing is going to change. We’re happy to stay part of the Marblehead community. Now, instead of owning the property, we’ll be renting.”
The Muffin Shop has been at 126 Washington St. for nearly 40 years. “Absolutely we’re staying,” said owner Luisa Caposso.
“They’re very nice,” she added, referring to her new landlords.
Hip Baby Gear at 118 Washington St. hopes to stay in its space. Owner Jamie Reyes told the Current, “We would love to stay. We just don’t have any information at this point.”
Reyes said she believes Hip Baby Gear is now a tenant-at-will.
The Marblehead sale includes the following properties:
118-120 Washington (Hip Baby Gear, Eastern Bank and Crosby’s)
122 Washington St (Garrity Insurance)
126 Washington St. (The Muffin Shop)
128 Washington St. (Marblehead Knits)
10R Darling St.
11 State St. (Whitney Law Group)
The Current reached out to Andrew Goldberg at Goldberg Real Estate to ask if he has any new plans for the properties he just purchased. He did not immediately respond.
Crosby’s is also selling the real estate where Henry’s is located in Beverly.
