WATERTOWN â Three local businessmen â Jacob âJakeâ Johnson, Tyler Bartlett and Bill Stoodley â have closed on a deal to purchase the vacant Great American store at 650 State St., according to the city assessorâs officer. They purchased the former grocery store for $400,000 from LKR Enterprises, Inc., 107 Grove St., Boonville. The store closed in late 2019. The deal had lingered for a year before the closing on Tuesday. Mr. Johnson said two weeks ago the three businessmen donât have any definitive plans for the building, built in 1950, at this time. The property has a current assessment of $612,000. The Lockwood family ran the Great American store in Watertown and also one in Boonville for 23 years.
