Linear Retail leases space to Snap Top Market at 303 Columbus Avenue

Linear Retail Properties, LLC, completed a lease signing with a new specialty grocer, Snap Top Market located at 303 Columbus Ave. in the Bryant Back Bay luxury condominium complex. The property is situated where the Back Bay meets the South End, between Clarendon and Dartmouth Sts. Snap Top Market is a new urban grocery concept created by Steve Napoli. Napoli is part of the "next generation" of the Napoli brothers who own Idylwilde Farms in Acton, Mass. Snap Top Market will join Urban Grape, a boutique wine store that will soon occupy the other adjacent retail space at The Bryant. These two neighborhood retailers plan to open by this fall. Linear Retail purchased the two retail condominiums in July. Bill Beckeman, president and CEO of Linear Retail said, "Our interest in purchasing these retail condos was cemented when Steve outlined his vision and conveyed his passion for creating a small urban produce market. Snap Top Market will be a great amenity for local residents and a terrific complement to our other new retailer, Urban Grape."
