San Diego business magazine sold

Connie Lewis of the San Diego Business Journal reports that San Diego Metropolitan, a local business magaizne, has been sold to a former newspaper executive, Bob Page, for an undisclosed amount.

The magazine has more than 20,000 circulation, and 39 percent of its readers are professionals. Another 29 percent are business owners.

Lewis writes, “Kris Grant, who owns Coronado Lifestyle Magazine, a quarterly publication which she founded in 2002, will serve as editor for both the Metropolitan and the North Park News. Coronado Lifestyle is mailed to Coronado residents and businesses free of charge.

“Grant said that she will have a minority interest in the Metropolitan and the North Park News and that Page and his wife Rebeca will have a minority interest in Coronado Lifestyle, but the terms of that deal have not been finalized.

“Plans are to broaden news coverage of the Metropolitan from business to include lifestyle and culture.”
