John Green taking a tenant from Sam Cummings. Is there any anymosity between the two?

Also, which building is 444 Bridge?

Yes---The flying Olive sounds like they will be planting both feet on the ground at 444 Bridge. The building closes (Has sold) next week. John Green will have an interest in it as well as a few others I was told... This will make the two ground floor units full. Next phase would be to finish off the two apartment upstairs. We looked at this building over a year ago but were not willing to take the risk of acquiring another empty building. You snooze you loose :(

The building that Olive Express used to be in is no longer owned by Sam Cummings there is a new owner and I had no involvement with that space what so every. The new location 444 bridge is split between signs by design who just moved in and hopefully the Flying Olive. ~Joseph

Second Story Properties (Sam Cummings) has expanded into property management a lot over the last couple of years. So just because an empty space has a SSP sign in it doesn't necessarily mean Sam owns it.

I don't think there's any ill will between John G. and Sam.
