‘A Christmas Story’ House Finds New Owner Within Same Company

The home from “A Christmas Story” apparently did not promote to a personal proprietor in any case — ‘trigger the group managing the pad simply introduced a brand new proprietor … it is certainly one of their very own.

Here is the deal … this property presently operates as a vacationer attraction in Cleveland, giving individuals an opportunity to tour the place as a museum and keep in a single day — which has been the case for some time … that’s, till they introduced (as an organization) final yr they deliberate to unload it.

The plan, on the time, was to promote the complete lot to someone new … and, presumably, that meant the brand new would-be proprietor may both proceed operating it as a museum, or simply transfer in and stay in it as a daily dwelling. Bear in mind — there was interest from a group of the actors from the OG movie, spearheaded by Yano Anaya, to snap it up and hold the ticket gross sales going.

After a lot of drama and back-and-forth … it appeared Yano and a gaggle he was working with have been in line to attain the place — however now, it might appear that absolutely fell via.

The enterprise web page for the ‘A Christmas Story House’ simply stated they’ve their new “owner” … and it is none aside from their present CEO, Joshua Dickerson, who’s gonna take the reins.

They write, “While the face of the company has long been the founder, Brian Jones, the true work, and performance has been borne by Mr. Dickerson behind the scenes. It seemed only fitting that he should take the final step and become an owner.”

When it comes to how they’re framing his new “ownership,” the ‘Christmas Story’ home people say Josh is taking an fairness stake within the firm and can change into its managing associate. So, in different phrases, he is operating the present and operating the home.

Whether or not they really “sold” something to him stays unclear — final yr, we have been advised the corporate promoting the home (the identical firm Josh works for) anticipated to fetch round 8 figures for this place.

In fact, that is most likely a bummer for Yano … who made peace with Brian and appeared primed to inherit the property, which he thought was becoming contemplating his historical past with it.

It wasn’t meant to be although … no less than not for proper now.
