NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Machine Investment Group ("Machine") has acquired a portfolio of net-leased Jiffy Lube service centers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The portfolio is conveniently located in some of the most highly trafficked and dense areas in the San Francisco Bay Area, with close proximity to Google, Meta (Facebook), Santana Row, Mill Valley, the Westfield Valley Fair mall, and many other Silicon Valley points of interest.
