PLANS, DESCRIPTION: A Dublin, Ireland-based financial firm acquired several GFS Marketplace stores, including buildings in Brandon and Fort Myers.
The firm, Gaelic Financial Services LLC, purchased a 21,307-square-foot GFS building in Fort Myers and a 14,799-square-foot GFS building in Brandon for $6.07 million. Gordon Food Service, which sold the buildings, will lease the properties back under a long-term agreement, according to GFS spokesman Mark Dempsey.

We are actively searching for additional opportunities throughout the state of Florida.”
