MOOSIC, PA – A frozen snack foods manufacturer has acquired an adjacent building for $1.2 million for additional storage.
J&J Snack Foods Corp./MIA Products bought the 42,000-square-foot structure at 625 Rocky Glen Road for warehousing, MIA vice president and general manager T.J. Couzens said. MIA employs about 200 people.
The company will relocate storage operations from a leased site in Scranton to the Moosic building by April 1, Mr. Couzens said.
John Cognetti, president of Hinerfeld Commercial Realty, which represented seller Carl Touhey, of Albany, N.Y., said the structure was built in the early ’80s for Federal Express.
Its most recent tenants were DHL Express and Jack Williams Tire & Auto Service Centers.

Construction of the twin office buildings planned for high ground in the East Mountain Corporate Center is expected to begin by the end of this year, or sooner, said Chris Siegel, chief executive office of Ruckno Construction Co.
John Cognetti, SIOR, CCIM, who represented DDRC in the lease negotiations, said that the space was a perfect fit for this particular tenant. Their need was for space for an adult day activities center for persons with mild and severe disabilities, a storage facility for equipment and supplies that would serve all their facilities and office space plus adequate parking and space for client transport. The space at one time was home to a Harley Davidson franchise and recently was a showroom and production space for vinyl products contractor.
