GE Appliances said the digital system provides greater data accuracy, streamlines the inventory process and increases capacity and reliability. GE employs 80 people at the 815,000-square-foot warehouse.

The property is under a ground lease to Joe’s Crab Shack, which will remain in operation under the new ownership.

The parking lot will continue to serve customers of the restaurant.

The Ashourians bought the property through Beach South One LLC. The 8,032-square-foot restaurant is at 15 S. First St. and the 80-space surface parking lot is at 110 Beach Blvd.
