A 32,000-SF building that used to be the home of a Marvin’s IGA in Farmington has been sold for the second time in 18 months.
Jordan Jeter, a partner at Flake & Kelley Commercial Northwest, led an investment group that paid $1.125 million for the building, located at 271 W. Main St. Jeter’s group, Farmington JK LLC, bought the property from Emily Tan, who opened Oops, a home goods store at the location.
Tan bought the property for $975,000 in December 2014 with her business partner, Tony Reeves.
Jeter’s group also bought the house lot just to the west of the Oops building at 281 W. Main for $210,000. William and Erma Lee Curtsinger were the sellers. Arvest Bank of Rogers assisted the purchases with a loan of $956,250 for the Oops property and $161,500 for the Curtsinger property.
Jeter said his group has a contract to buy an additional lot next to the former Curtsinger property. When that closes, Jeter said, he will look into converting those properties, which are currently occupied by abandoned houses, into commercial property to lease to tenants such as restaurants.
Jeter led a group that recently purchased property in Farmington that is now a Dollar Tree store. It is located just east of the Marvin’s IGA/Oops building.
“We had some success with the Dollar Tree next door,” Jeter said. “We’re looking to do the same thing. We’re actively searching for tenants.”
Jeter said the 32,000-SF building has a lot of potential, and he is a believer in the Farmington area. A Walmart Neighborhood Market, located less than a half-mile west of the Marvin’s IGA/Oops building, has done well since it recently opened, and Farmington is building a new school just behind the location.
“I think Farmington is a great opportunity,” Jeter said. “The beautiful thing is Farmington is building a new high school right behind Oops.”
