Market Competition and Expansion:

Affordable, Flexible & Fully Equipped: Why invest substantial capital in a build-out when you can step into a complete, finished bar and restaurant? The existing bar, dining areas, commercial kitchen (cooking line, refrigeration, prep & storage) and restaurant infrastructure are all in place, so you can open faster and preserve your working capital.

The modified gross structure is straightforward: tenant pays base rent plus any increase in the landlord’s real estate taxes and insurance over the base year. Lease commencement date is negotiable, giving qualified operators flexibility.

Growth opportunities: add lunch and extended hours to capture daytime business; maximize the patio with seasonal dining, private events and special promotions; launch takeout, third-party delivery, catering and online ordering programs; host live entertainment, sports viewing parties, themed nights and seasonal celebrations; partner with nearby businesses, community events and seasonal regional attractions; and pursue video gaming, as the property previously operated gaming terminals.
