From Oceanside to Hempstead, Long Island’s business scene is booming with new headquarters, relocations, and big-time lease signings.
It’s the kind of commercial switch-up that makes you do a double take. Afco Industrial LLC, tied to Cosco Soap & Detergent Company, just bought 3295 Royal Ave. in Oceanside for $2.1 million. The 8,094-square-foot building on .33 acres used to house Tafuri Tile & Marble — but they’re not completely out of the picture. Tafuri will lease back 1,000 square feet for a retail showroom, keeping the tile dreams alive.
Cosco Soap has been making waves since 1966, operating out of a 40,000-square-foot Ridgewood facility and crafting everything from private label cleaning products to their cult-classic Tincture of Green Soap.
