A business that is looking to open a travel plaza in Ripley has purchased additional land.

The Post-Journal and OBSERVER have been analyzing real estate sales in Chautauqua County and recently looked at the transactions from Jan. 2-10.

During this time period, Ripley Travel Holdings, LLC of Scranton, Pa. purchased a parcel on Shortman Road from Mendenhall Properties, LLC for $100,000 and purchased another parcel on the same road from Colonial Squire Properties, Inc. for $125,000.

The parcels border the property where the Lions Den adult novelty store is located.

Ripley Travel Holdings owns Lions Den building and has met with town officials about opening a travel plaza at that location. Employees of the Lions Den have told customers that they expect to relocate to Pennsylvania in the fall.

In an unrelated sale, Donald Bloomquist Jr. sold 1391 Busti Stillwater Road, Kiantone to Lakewood Appliance Sales & Service, Inc. for $288,000. That was the location of Bloomquist’s Landscaping.

Messages to Appliance Sales & Service in Lakewood asking about their plans for the property were not returned.
