BUTLER TWP — Friedman’s Fresh Market in the Greater Butler Mart has sat vacant since 2018, along with the now-empty shelves, refrigerator boxes and freezer cases.
Those fixtures got a chance at new life, as nearly 100 people attended an auction of the idle equipment Saturday, March 4, morning.
The auction made the former grocery store space available for an expanding business, according to an official from Brandywine Communities, which owns the plaza.
“It’s a good turnout,” a Brandywine official said of the event.
