TAMPA, FL. (April 25, 2012) – Franklin Street Management Services has been hired to manage 79 recently closed grocery store locations, providing facilities management services for locations in five Southeastern states totaling over 2 million square feet.
Franklin Street Management Services, a subsidiary of Franklin Street, was already providing facilities management services for 19 other store locations, along with full-service management services for three other shopping centers, bringing its total number of closed grocery store locations under management to 101.
The stores are located in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The challenge is to manage a geographically diverse collection of locations that range from larger cities, like Jacksonville, Fla., and Nashville, Tenn., to smaller towns like Warner Robins, Ga., and Mt. Sterling, Ky. The work involves ensuring that proper security and maintenance are in place, controlling operating costs such as utilities, and coordinating such tasks as move-out inspections when properties change hands.
“In this situation, every location has unique needs, and we have quickly gotten to know the people involved and their needs, so we can both respond quickly and help prevent problems before they happen,” said Doug Linneman, Vice President of Management Services for Franklin Street.
The engagement is fueling the growth of Franklin Street’s retail management group, which now includes six professionals based in Tampa, Atlanta and Jacksonville. The company has hired three new employees in the past several months to support its efforts.
