Retail Property For Sale

If walls could talk this building would be telling the story of the bygone days of the Town of Laidlaw. Built circa 1907, this building was the original confectionery of the town and since then has seen many trades, artisans and entrepreneurs come through its doors. Lots of talk and energy about all the good things happening and the hot expansion in Tumalo. This is prime time to follow your dream of owning your own piece of history and becoming part of and contributing to a thriving and very strong community. The last use was a 'take and bake' pizza store. Perfect for an office, a retail space for your craft, a cold pressed juice bar, wine shop, catering? 977 sq. ft.

Retail food establishment is already approved as the current use, but is specified as "take and bake pizza".
