About this home
ESTABLISHED AUTO BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ON OVER HALF AN ACRE IN A HIGH-VISIBILITY BARRIE LOCATION! Secure a premier commercial asset in one of Barrie's fastest-growing corridors with the acquisition of Morrison Auto Service and the underlying commercial real estate at 222 Blake Street. Established in 1974, this profitable automotive operation carries decades of name recognition, repeat clientele and trusted service that keeps Barrie drivers coming back. Set along a high-exposure stretch with strong vehicle flow and steady daily foot traffic, the standalone commercial property sits on approximately 0.517 acres with 134 feet of frontage, exceptional street presence and approximately 25 on-site parking spaces built to support a busy operation. C4 Commercial zoning adds valuable versatility for investors, entrepreneurs, owner-operators and automotive groups looking to secure a serious foothold in a growing commercial district. With the business, land and building offered together, this is a strategic acquisition for buyers who see the power in owning the operation and the real estate beneath it. Decades of goodwill, prominent visibility and long-term commercial upside make this one of Barrie's most compelling automotive business opportunities.
