Turnkey Restaurant Opportunity – Fully Equipped End-Cap Space in Silver Springs/Ocala Market Rare turnkey restaurant opportunity located in the heart of the Silver Springs/Ocala market, just minutes from Downtown Ocala and Silver Springs State Park. This ±3,000 SF end-cap restaurant space is approved for 125 seats and comes fully equipped — including kitchen equipment, utensils, dishes, and operational essentials needed to move quickly toward opening. Positioned at the northwest corner of Hwy 40 / E Silver Springs Blvd and NE 25th Street, the site benefits from strong visibility and traffic exposure, with Hwy 40 carrying approximately 21,963 AADT. The location provides direct access to the broader Ocala MSA, which exceeds 428,000 residents and has experienced significant growth since 2020. Within a 15-minute drive time, the property reaches more than 104,000 residents, with strong family-style restaurant demand and over $235 million in related food-away-from-home expenditures. More than 75% of the surrounding population has visited a family-style restaurant within the past six months, supporting strong demand for breakfast, lunch, dinner, catering, and family dining concepts. Ocala and Marion County continue to benefit from expanding rooftops, employment growth, tourism, regional traffic, and ongoing commercial development. For a restaurant operator, that means a growing customer base made up of local residents, workers, visitors, and destination traffic moving through one of Central Florida’s most active growth markets. This is a rare turn-key lease opportunity for an experienced operator, expanding brand, or local restaurateur looking to bypass much of the costly buildout process and move quickly toward occupancy and operation. Marion County Summary Marion County combines regional scale with sustained demographic momentum. The Census Bureau estimates Marion County at 442,660 residents as of July 1, 2025, up 17.8% from the 2020 base. Current Census QuickFacts also show median household income at $61,010, per capita income at $33,539, and mean travel time to work at 26.8 minutes. For commercial users, that translates into a growing resident base, an expanding consumer market, and a broad workforce footprint across the county. US 301 / N Pine Avenue The property enjoys strong frontage and visibility along N Pine Ave / US 301, one of Ocala’s primary commercial corridors. With more than 166 feet of frontage and reported traffic counts of approximately 30,500 AADT, the site offers excellent exposure for businesses that benefit from signage, customer visibility, and day-to-day accessibility. US 301 also functions as a major through-corridor in Ocala and connects directly into the city’s broader commercial network. NW 20th Street Located just south of the signalized intersection of N Pine Ave / US 301 and NW 20th Street, the property benefits from additional cross-traffic and convenient turning access. With reported traffic counts of approximately 10,500 AADT, this intersection adds to the site’s visibility and helps support customer access, employee circulation, and service vehicle movement. US 27 provides an additional major regional connection for the property and enhances accessibility throughout Ocala and Marion County. Its proximity to the site supports convenient north-south travel and strengthens access to surrounding business districts, residential areas, and regional destinations. SR 40 is one of the area’s key east-west transportation routes and provides strong cross-market connectivity through Ocala and beyond. FDOT describes SR 40 as an important east-west corridor stretching from Marion County to Volusia County and serving as an important rural freight route. That makes the property’s access to SR 40 valuable for businesses relying on efficient movement of goods, service vehicles, and employees. SR 200 is one of Ocala’s most active commercial corridors and a major regional route linking the market to I-75 and the US 301/US 441 corridor. FDOT’s current project information describes SR 200 in Ocala as a significant improvement corridor running from east of I-75 to US 301 / US 441, reinforcing its role as a major access and commercial artery in the market.
