Christie’s Country Store Sold

Christie’s Country Store, a fixture on Westport’s Cross Highway for almost eight decades, has changed hands again. The Town Clerk’s office reported the property at 161 Cross Highway was sold by Cross Highway LLC to Sasco III LLC, whose principals include Bob Corroon of Fairfield, for $1.1 million. The store for many years was run by Christie Masiello before her death at the age of 88 in 1989. Westport’s HK Group, which represented the buyer and seller, said this was the the fourth sale of the property in the last 15 years. The previous one was recorded in February 2002.
