Woburn, MA: Summit Realty Partners is pleased to announce the recent sale of a mixed use building located at 307 Main Street in Woburn, Massachusetts. The buildings’ long vacant retail space was previously occupied by Masotta’s Variety Store and the top three floors as a private residence.

The fifty eight seat Orange Leaf plans to open by this summer with a rotating selection of flavors and will be operated by a local franchisee. The Oklahoma City based franchise company has become a well known brand in New England over the past few years for the quality and variety of its self-serve frozen yogurt, the stimulating and family friendly atmosphere of its stores, and for its involvement in the communities which it operates.
