NAI Horizon Executive Vice President Lane Neville, Senior Associate Cole Neville and Associates Matt Westra, Whitney Heritage, and Brandon Hall represented the seller, Serrano Family Limited Partnership from Chandler.

“This flagship family restaurant location opened in 1979 in Downtown Chandler and flourished for 45 years, it was truly our honor to be part of the sale of such an iconic restaurant,” Lane Neville said. “Based on the superb location and abundant buyer interest, we utilized our proprietary competitive bid sale process to generate the best price for our client.”

The buyer, JAM Management LLC, also based in Chandler, was represented by Peter Sciacca of Launch Powered by Compass. 

“It is with mixed emotions – but surely pride – that we announce the sale of the property and the closing of our Chandler restaurant location that our parents, Ernie and Eva, founded,” said Serrano’s General Partner Ric Serrano. “We happily still operate our three other Serrano’s restaurants, two in Mesa and one in Queen Creek.  Also, we continue to operate our Pronto location in Tempe.

“Operating the business has been a family affair, our goal has always been to honor our parents’ vision, we all feel very satisfied that we accomplished that.  Our family has been involved in business in Chandler for 105 years with our original venture starting in 1919 with Serrano Brothers Popular Store, a department store that operated for 60 years.

“We take lots of pride in our deep and longstanding relationships in the Chandler community and wish the very best to our buyer that is pursuing their own Mexican restaurant concept on site. We will be there to support them, to keep the tradition alive,” Serrano said.

Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant is located adjacent to Chandler City Hall in the heart of Downtown Chandler, on the east side of Arizona Avenue, immediately south of Boston Street.
