Richmond Printing Service finalized its purchase of the building at 1839 W. Broad St. on August 20, 2026. The company intends to relocate its operations to the new 6,000-square-foot facility by the end of the year.
Why it matters
The relocation follows the company's 2025 sale of its former headquarters to Sauer Properties. This move allows the long-standing business to transition to digital printing equipment in a new space.
The firm acquired the 6,000-square-foot building for $1.08 million, a slight premium over its $1.06 million city-assessed value. This follows the company's September 2025 sale of its previous headquarters for $3.4 million.
