For nearly 15 years, 357 Maine Mall Road was known as the home of Maine’s only Cracker Barrel restaurant. With its recognizable facade and prominent location in South Portland’s retail corridor, the building became something of a local landmark. After the restaurant closed, the vacant space quickly sparked conversation about what might come next.
The next chapter is all about comfort, wellness, and at-home relaxation. Great Bay Spa & Sauna, a New Hampshire-based company known for premium hot tubs, swim spas, and saunas, is bringing its second showroom to Maine.
Malone Commercial Brokers is proud to have facilitated the sale of the 10,030± SF building to 357 Maine Mall Road, LLC for $2,880,000. Mark Malone and Nick Malone of Malone Commercial Brokers represented the seller, and John Finegan of The Boulos Company represented the buyer.
Founded in Portsmouth in 1976 by three friends inspired by the hot spring culture out west, Great Bay Spa & Sauna has spent around 50 years building a business rooted in quality and customer care. In 2019, longtime employee Jamie Burson took the reins and continues to lead the company with the same passion and integrity that defined its early days.
“We are a company that sells products that we use, have a passion for, and believe in,” the company says on its website. “We don’t just want you to buy our stuff. We want to share the experience with you.”
Their newest showroom in South Portland will carry forward that mission, offering high-end wellness products alongside knowledgeable staff, hands-on experiences, and a dedication to helping customers find relaxation at home.
Malone Commercial Brokers is excited to see Great Bay Spa & Sauna flourish in this well-known location and continue its expansion into the Maine market.
