'A Lot of Interest' in Former Fruit of the Four Seasons Location

The investors who recently-rehabilitated the former home of the on Atlantic Avenue have received numerous offers from the area business community, a representative said Monday afternoon.

Charles Patsios, a representative of Stone River LLC, said the investing group didn't rehabilitate the interior of the building with a specific business or type of business in mind but simply "did it the right way."

"Sometimes (investors) will just try to get a remediation project like this done as quickly as possible," Patsios said. "We got in there and knew we wanted to get it done right."

Although he said Stone River is currently accepting offers from a variety of prospective businesses, Patsios, of Swampscott, said he thinks the location would be perfect for a healthy Mediterranean restaurant.

"We want to leave it open-ended, but I think a single occupant restaurant there with outdoor seating would do very well," Patsios said. "It's a very visible location, it's located on a corner and it has a lot of available space."
