Detroit, MI 48214
Retail Property For Sale

Positioned along the active Mack Avenue corridor, 8405 Mack presents a rare opportunity to reposition a 992 SF standalone retail building with deep-rooted neighborhood recognition and built-in brand equity. Formerly operating as a beloved local ice cream and fried fish destination, the property carries a strong sense of nostalgia—making it uniquely positioned for a thoughtful revival or adaptive reuse.
Zoned B4 (General Business District), the site allows for a wide range of commercial uses, including restaurant, carry-out, café, dessert concept, or neighborhood-serving retail. The existing structure offers a compact and efficient footprint ideal for an owner-operator or boutique concept seeking low overhead and high visibility.
The surrounding area continues to benefit from residential density, neighborhood traffic, and ongoing corridor activity—supporting both legacy concepts and new, creative food & beverage operators.

955 SF freestanding building
Strong neighborhood nostalgia and brand recognition
Former ice cream and fried fish destination
B4 zoning – flexible commercial uses
Ideal for carry-out, walk-up service, or small-format retail

This is not just a real estate play—it’s an opportunity to reintroduce a neighborhood staple with modern execution, or to bring a fresh concept into a location that already “feels” like a destination.
