AUBURN, N.Y. — The retail building in Auburn that previously housed the “Mr. Vac” vacuum store was recently sold.

The two-story structure at 95 Owasco St. was sold for $85,000 after being on the market for a short time, according to a news release from Bouck Real Estate, which handled the property sale. Mike Hardesty, commercial sales agent for the Bouck firm, facilitated this transaction.

According to Hardesty, the new owners have a retail plan for the building to capitalize on the busy traffic flow of Owasco Street and the close proximity of parking for the building. “They are looking forward to redeveloping the property, with the intent on becoming a welcome part of the Owasco Street neighborhood,” he added. The release didn’t name the new owners.

The building’s prior owner, Bob Borsching, was known locally as “Mr. Vac” and has been a mainstay in the retail business of Auburn for more than 30 years. He recently retired.

“Bob will be missed by all here in the city, and we wish him the best,” Hardesty said.
