How do you find out an owner of a business?

[DavidofColorado]

I want to know because I am toying with the idea of buying a local grocery store and I want to find the owner and talk to him about it. Any help will get you a discount on steaks when I own it.

Well since there might be steaks involved...

You can pull a Dun and Bradstreet report also...check with the states small business website.

If it is for sale, and it is family owned, can't you walk into the store, ask for the management and or owner and just ask? Or leave you contact information if they are not there? The sneaker network still works.

My thoughts exactly... just go in and ask. Leave a message if ya have to. Good luck tho!

Yes. However, the store hasn't been used since August of last year since a fire broke out. I haven't seen the owners around there since then. I have seen contractors in and out of there and I think the store is ready to open soon. But I heard a rumor that the owners want to sell it. I am trying to find them and make sure.

The website that BHeth gave only show documents upto 2002 on the store and there is no phone number. I will have to pound the ground some more.

Ohhhh...I see! Well in that case you should be able to contact the county to find out (at least to find out who owns the land there). I can't recall what dept specifically you would need to talk to, but I'm sure a quick call would aim you in the right direction!
