Santa Barbara Public Market sold
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara Public Market in downtown has been sold. It was a deal that includes the market and other adjacent properties.
The site was formerly a Vons grocery store but was converted about eight years ago after an extensive review and design period.
It was a multi-use location with restaurants, wine and beer sites, a meat counter, ice cream and olive oil sales. Over time, the tenants and uses have changed.
The sale is estimated to be about $10 million. It was purchased by Winn and Twining families headed by Montecito residents Alistair Winn, and his wife Ann, and Travis Twining, and his wife Amanda.
