UPDATED — A group called Commercial Equity has purchased Andover Crossing, an almost 10,000-square-foot center near the northeast corner of Kellogg and Andover Road, with plans to remodel it and add tenants.
“We’re putting a new facade on it to make it more modern,” says Adam Clements of Builders Inc., which manages the center.
Clements and Dennis Fitzroy, also of Builders Inc., handled the sale of the 1999 center.

“We’re going to make it look like a 2012 building,” Clements says. He says there will be new lighting and landscaping and increased signage as well.
Currently, Papa John’s Pizza, Snip N’ Clip and In the Bag Cleaners are at the center. Clements also recently handled a deal to bring a new store, Perfect Party, there.
That leaves one 1,800-square-foot space on the north end of the center. It has drive-through capability.
Former Augusta teacher Cheryl Mercer is opening Perfect Party in 3,000 square feet.
“I’ve always wanted to do my own business,” Mercer says. “It was always just my dream to do a party store.”
She plans to carry all the colors of nearby schools along with balloons and party supplies. Mercer hopes to offer classes, too, for party ideas.
“I love being crafty,” she says.
