A California investment company has purchased the sites of two local Walgreen pharmacies for nearly $7 million.
Realty Income Properties, LLC, a publicly-traded real estate firm which owns 3,800 properties in 49 state, bought the storefront at 5478 Highway 153 in Hixson for $3.78 million and bought the store at 4542 Highway 58 for $3.18 million. The new property owners will continue to lease the properties to Walgreens and store officials said retail operations will not be affected by the sale.
The properties were previously owned by Rivermont Golf and Country Club, Inc., a Chattanooga company with Byron Mitts as its vice president. Mitts signed over the two pieces of land earlier this month.
