Anderson Brothers Building owner Terry Vassalos has confirmed that a deal to bring a CVS pharmacy into the space currently occupied by Satellite Ballroom, Just Curry, Higher Grounds and Plan 9 has now been signed and made official, NBC 29 reports. “I’m sorry,” Vassalos tells NBC 29. “I like the Satellite Ballroom. But they will find a home.”
 A deal that will bring a CVS to the Corner’s Anderson Brothers Building is now done. |
Plan 9 owner Jim Bland confirmed earlier this month that the Richmond-based record store chain’s Corner location would be closing at the end of May, and Vassalos told C-VILLE that a deal with CVS to take over the space was close.
A group called Citizens for Local Culture has been trying to raise awareness to help keep the Satellite Ballroom in its current location, but Vassalos’ confirmation of the CVS deal will leave Satellite looking for a new place to host concerts.
