Jenkintown Electric is still open for business, their former location is up for sale

Jenkintown Electric is still open for business.

Sales agent Janie Burstein-Boyle told Glenside Local that the store has recently received multiple inquiries about its status because of a Zillow.com real estate listing for the adjacent building.

Jenkintown Electric is currently located at 218 York Road. 220 York Road, the former home of Jenkintown Electric, is on the market for $349,000.

“We were there five years ago, and it’s been vacant ever since,” Burstein-Boyle said. “I asked the agent to change the description because it’s misleading people.”

According to the listing, the building is zoned mixed use and can be used as residential and/or commercial purposes.

From the description:

Amazing opportunity in one of the best locations around. Come and check out this diamond in the rough. Previously has been an appliance store for many years. This building is zoned mixed use and can become a future cash cow. Located in the bustling business district of Jenkintown. This could easily be multiple commercial and residential units. With the right planning, there could be 4 residential units or 1 or 2 commercial units and 2 or 3 residential units. The owner is ready to sell. This property has historical district and property possibilities for both commercial and residential incentive programs. Check with local, county state, and federal programs.
