The former Marsh supermarket building in Fort Wayne has a new owner and a planned new tenant, according to an announcement on Nov. 10.
Indianapolis-based SHB Companies said it has acquired the property at 7301 Maplecrest Road and secured Slick City Action Park for the long-vacant space. The firm said it focuses on repositioning underused retail properties through large-scale reuse projects.
Slick City operates indoor slide parks with giant slides, air courts and other attractions for all ages. The company, headquartered in St. Louis and Nashville, has nearly 100 franchise locations open or under construction across the country, and the Fort Wayne site would be its first in northern Indiana.
SHB owners Jeremy Hamilton and Megan Matthias Hamilton grew up in Fort Wayne and graduated from Snider High School. Jeremy Hamilton said the project is a personal investment in their hometown and a chance to bring the building back to life as a place for families and friends to gather.
The company said J.B. Langas of Hanson Langas Realtors and Appraisers served as broker in the acquisition. Additional details about the project and an opening timeline are expected to be announced as plans progress.
