16657 US Highway 70 1,288 SF of Retail Space Available in Springer, OK 73458

Equipped restaurant space offers a rare opportunity to establish a food service business in a location supported by several distinct customer groups. Situated at 16677 US Highway 77 in Springer, the property combines highway accessibility, existing restaurant infrastructure and proximity to the school, RV resort, local businesses, travelers and major employment centers throughout the surrounding area. The restaurant is positioned directly across from Springer Public Schools, creating strong potential to serve teachers, staff members, parents, visiting families and attendees traveling to school activities. Games, tournaments, performances, meetings and other school events can bring additional visitors into the immediate area throughout the year. A restaurant operator could build relationships with the school community through team meals, event catering, teacher lunches, family dining, fundraising nights, concession support and convenient takeout options. The location may be especially well suited for a concept offering quick breakfast, lunch, after school snacks, dinner or family friendly meals. Cool Breeze RV Resort is located directly next door, providing another valuable source of potential customers. The 56 site resort welcomes short term guests, extended stay visitors, traveling workers, vacationers and families who may prefer the convenience of a nearby restaurant rather than preparing every meal inside an RV. An operator could serve these guests through dine in service, takeout, delivery directly to individual RV sites, breakfast packages, family meal bundles and grab and go options. The restaurant also has an opportunity to become part of the overall guest experience by working with resort management on menus, promotions, welcome materials, events and extended stay meal programs. The property’s location on US Highway 77 and only minutes from Interstate 35 makes it accessible to both local customers and travelers moving through the area. Interstate 35 connects Oklahoma City and the Dallas Fort Worth region, while US Highway 77 provides a direct route through Springer and into Ardmore. Nearby fuel and convenience businesses already give drivers, workers and RV travelers a practical reason to stop in this immediate area. A visible restaurant provides the opportunity to turn those existing stops into meal purchases, coffee visits, takeout orders or return visits. Springer is also within practical commuting distance of the Ardmore Industrial Airpark, the Global Transportation and Industrial Park and the broader Ardmore employment base. The surrounding area supports employees and contractors working in aviation, logistics, transportation, distribution, manufacturing, energy, construction and other industries. Many of these businesses operate early schedules, rotating shifts or project based crews, creating potential demand beyond traditional dining hours. A restaurant in this location could pursue breakfast service, early lunch, shift change meals, boxed lunches, crew catering, bulk orders, delivery and recurring employer meal programs. The existing restaurant buildout may significantly reduce the time and expense required to prepare the space compared with beginning in an unfinished commercial shell. The kitchen currently includes two CookRite commercial floor fryers with fryer baskets, a CookRite commercial gas flat top griddle and a CookRite six burner gas range with an oven. The main cooking line is positioned beneath a NAKS commercial exhaust hood with grease filters and visible fire suppression components, along with stainless steel backsplash and wall protection. Additional kitchen equipment includes an Atosa three door stainless steel reach in refrigerator with a digital temperature display, a full size upright freezer and a freestanding commercial ice maker with an integrated storage bin. The washing and preparation areas include a stainless steel three compartment sink with drainboards and a commercial pre rinse sprayer, a separate utility or mop sink, a stainless steel preparation table with a lower storage shelf, freestanding wire shelving and wall mounted cookware storage. A wall mounted mini split system provides additional heating and cooling within the kitchen area. The front of house offers a large open dining room with flexibility for different seating arrangements and restaurant concepts. Existing features include a front service and checkout counter, multiple kitchen to dining service windows and a dining counter with five stools. This configuration could support traditional dine in service, counter service, takeout, delivery, catering or a combination of several service styles. The space could accommodate a wide range of concepts, including a hometown diner, breakfast and lunch café, burger restaurant, barbecue concept, pizza shop, sandwich shop, bakery, coffee and breakfast business, Mexican restaurant, comfort food concept, family restaurant, takeout kitchen or catering operation. The neighboring school, RV resort, highway traffic, employment corridor and established community create several possible revenue channels rather than requiring the business to rely on only one type of customer. This is an opportunity for an operator to bring a needed dining option to the Springer area while benefiting from an existing restaurant layout and a strategic location. With the right concept, hours and local partnerships, the property has the potential to serve residents, school families, educators, RV guests, highway travelers, industrial employees, contractors and area businesses from one convenient location. Equipment and fixtures are available to remain with the premises subject to final lease terms. Prospective tenants should independently verify the condition and functionality of all equipment, utilities and mechanical systems, along with applicable licensing, inspections, fire suppression requirements, health department requirements and code compliance.
