Collins of CBC Meridian brokers sale of the 8,000 s/f Airport Plaza

Airport Plaza, located at 4230-4236 Union Rd., was sold to a local retailer for an undisclosed price. Don Hoffman, owner of Airport Plaza Jewelers, 4210 Union Rd. will occupy 6,000 s/f out of the 8,900 s/f. Subway and Nail Time will remain within their current space. The deal was brokered by Patricia Collins, co-owner / broker of Coldwell Banker Commercial Meridian. Hoffman has been in the business for the past 22 years and at his current location for 12 years. Business has been great especially since Airport Plaza Jewelers purchases gold from consumers. "2008 has been overwhelming," said Hoffman. In addition, to specializing in diamond sales, Airport Plaza Jewelers will also be focusing on jewelry special marketing events, thus the need for expansion. Airport Plaza Jewelers saying, "Where a Really Great Diamond Doesn't Cost an Arm and a Leg and We Buy It All" is a true statement of a local business doing well despite the economic challenges in this area.
