A Chattanooga real estate group has bought the building that formerly housed the Enzo’s grocery store on downtown’s Southside, and it’s close to finding a new tenant.

“We’re looking for something that would be a good fit for the neighborhood,” said Kevin Boehm, who is a part of the local group of investors that didn’t want to be identified.

The group paid $1.3 million for the building and land at the corner of West Main and Long streets.

Boehm said he’d be willing to consider returning a grocery store business to the location if its operators came to them.

“I don’t want office,” he said. “But retail use would be beneficial to Main Street. That’s what we’re looking to do.”
