“Clearwater Mattress used to operate out of the 30,905-square-foot building. [It] used the 16,830-square-foot foot building for sowing and assembly and the 8,000-square-foot one for returns,” Bush says. “The new owner plans to locate his distribution, shipping and returns business in the big building and has a friend to take the smallest building. We are looking to lease the 16,000-square-foot building.
Mattress Giant acquired the 21-store Clearwater Mattress in early 2008.
Located just north of Ulmerton Road, the development features several overhead doors with dock-high loading and 20-foot high ceilings.
