Description

This listing presents a unique opportunity to acquire Maine Times, a launch-ready statewide newspaper brand poised to become a significant independent news outlet in New England. The brand benefits from a premium domain portfolio (MaineTimes.com, .org, .net), GS1 barcode registration for retail sales, and distribution approval in 94 major Maine stores including Walmart, Dollar General, and Circle K. The website is under development on WordPress with robust hosting and security infrastructure.
