The 170,000-square-foot shopping center at 553 Mast Rd. in Goffstown was sold at a Jan. 8 auction for $5 million to the mortgage holder, 553 Mast Road LLC.
The shopping center, known as Shaw’s plaza, has been without an anchor store since the summer of 2013, when the supermarket chain shuttered its store there.
The plaza is 58 percent occupied. Tenants include Dollar Tree, Big Lots, Subway, Advance Auto Parts, the Aloe Garden restaurant, a Radio Shack and Hubert’s Family Outfitters.
According to the New Hampshire Union Leader, Nashua attorney Mark Kanakis, representing the LLC, said that property manager Doug Potter will attempt to find a tenant to rent the empty store. If unsuccessful, 553 Mast Road LLC will attempt to sell the property to another party at a later date.
The former Shaw’s site is being marketed by Bedford-based NAI Norwood Group.

One of the things I enjoy most about working with New Hampshire business owners is hearing what they’re building toward. Whether it’s growth, succession or greater stability, our conversations are almost always about the future.
For many business owners, building wealth is closely tied to the success of the company. But as revenue grows and priorities shift, it can be difficult to know how much cash to keep available, how much to reinvest and when to begin planning for longer-term goals.
Succession planning for your business goes beyond naming the next leader. It involves preserving continuity for your employees and customers, as well as supporting the company’s long-term success.
