The brand-name store commercial land buyers - O’Reillys, Red lobster, Dollar General, etc.- what is their title?
I have this badass commercial lot that connects to a Walmart Supercenter. I own it and trying to get creative. What is the title of the person at brand-name companies I need to contact to pitch the location?
