After at least a couple of years sitting vacant, the former Blockbuster store at 288 Court Street has a new tenant, and it’s one likely to put a smile on the faces of Carroll Gardeners: According to a tip and the confirmation of someone familiar with the proceedings, at some point in the last few days Union Market signed a lease after months of flirtation and negotiation with the new owner who paid $3.7 million for the building last year. The space consists of 4,500 square feet on the main floor and another 4,500 square feet of space on the basement level. We hear that the rent was around $20,000 a month but have not been able to confirm. Hot stuff!

“co-op loons”
i dont get many of the ppl who rage against big corporate chains like sbux or walmart, but then when there’s the bipolar opposite structure such as the community run co-op, they bitch about it and its people.
11217 you are willing to give up your soul to save a few cents on some crappy organic grapes?

we need a BoCoCaCoOp
I think I’m going to be breaking down and joining the Food Co-op soon.
The prices and quality are just too difficult to resist for much longer.
Would love to join the Park Slope food coop. No way to get there.

tybur6 not sure what you think is so expensive – if you ignore the basement space (which you shouldnt totally) it works out to be $53 a sq ft – hardly a crazy number especially when virtually all of it can be used for selling (remember you have a basement for storage and prep). The guy who isnt doing so well is the LL who is maybe making 7% on his money.

Is this the fall back location being that they pulled out of the dollar dream space on Fulton? Or was this location always planned?
