The owners of the Statesboro Mall and three Statesboro shopping centers, Jim Hull and Barry Storey, have announced the formation of two new entities, Hull Property Group and BLS Holdings Group LL, with the goal of allowing each individual the opportunity to pursue specialized interests. Hull and Storey co-founded Hull/Storey Development LLC, currently operating as Hull Storey Gibson Companies, in 1992 and have been actively involved in the acquisition, development and operation of retail properties across the Southeast. Moving forward, Hull Property Group will focus on middle market mall ownership and operations, and BLS Holdings Group LLC will focus on non-mall retail assets and alternative investments.
