Owner Considering Selling Legendary JAXX Venue... With Conditions
January 25, 2008, 16 years ago
Springfield Connection has issued the following report from Amber Healy:
The little rock club that could may have a new owner by the end of the year.
"It was a slow news day and I thought I’d shake things up," said Jaxx owner Jay Nedry, who recently made the announcement he’s considering selling the heavy metal club he has owned since 1994.But music fans take note: he is not completely sure the sale will go through.
With an asking price of $1.2 million for the 7,000 square foot venue on Rolling Road south of Old Keene Mill Road, any prospective buyer has to meet Nedry’s high standards and his conditions.
"Anyone who buys this place will have to pay an additional fee to keep me on as a consultant for a year," Nedry said.
The reason?
"I’ve owned this place longer than anyone," he said. "I’ve worked hard to make this one of the top 10 metal venues in the world. I know how to make this place run without annoying any of our neighbors. I need to find someone who will take this place over and maintain the positive things I’ve worked for."
