Portfolio of properties for Sale - Bessemer

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a six-property CVS Pharmacy portfolio located throughout Alabama, featuring assets in Dothan, Montgomery, Vestavia Hills, Hueytown, Huntsville, and Madison. The portfolio offers investors the flexibility to acquire all six properties as a single institutional-quality offering or purchase individual assets separately. Five properties feature identical lease structures, while the Huntsville location is being offered as a leasehold interest. Additionally, the portfolio is 100 percent leased to Alabama CVS Pharmacy, LLC and benefits from a corporate guaranty from CVS Health Corporation, providing investors with income backed by one of the nation’s largest and most established pharmacy operators. With approximately 12 to 14 years of remaining primary lease term, including five leases extending through 2038 and the Huntsville location extending through 2040, the portfolio delivers durable long-term cash flow supported by investment-grade tenancy. CVS has operated at these locations for an average of approximately 27 years, demonstrating a longstanding commitment to each market and validating the strategic importance of the stores within the company’s operating platform. The portfolio is leased on a net lease structure with tenants reimbursing operating expenses, including taxes, insurance, and common area expenses, while also reimbursing landlords for parking lot repairs and replacement on an amortized basis. Across the portfolio, ownership has completed significant capital improvements to the roof systems, with all six properties featuring roofs installed or replaced between 2018 and 2026 and backed by manufacturer warranties ranging from 15 to 20 years. These recent improvements reduce near-term capital requirements while enhancing the overall quality and stability of the investment. Combining long-term contractual income, investment-grade credit, established operating histories, and recently completed capital improvements, this portfolio represents a compelling net-leased investment opportunity with both portfolio-scale and individual acquisition flexibility.

The 3-mile trade area includes 36,894 residents with an AHHI of $95,819, reflecting a stable, income-qualified consumer base. **ESTABLISHED OPERATING HISTORY | FRANCHISEE RE-COMMITMENT IN 2022** - The franchisee executed a fresh lease in June 2022 on a location originally built in 2006, demonstrating 16 years of proven site performance prior to renewal. A franchisee willing to commit to a new long-term lease on an existing location has validated the store's economics with their own capital.

Drive Through Restaurants For Sale

Drive Through Restaurants

A drive-thru restaurant is a type of fast food establishment that provides customers with the ability to order and receive their meal while still in their car. This type of restaurant has been on the rise in recent years with an increase in demand for quick, mobile-friendly food options.

The majority of drive through restaurants are located on or near busy streets, making them easy for drivers to access. This accessibility can be attractive to investors as it will increase potential revenues by attracting more customers without extensive advertising costs.

Why should you buy a restaurant with a drive through as an investor?

There are many reasons to invest in a drive through restaurant. These restaurants can be profitable if they're modeled correctly and managed well. You need to consider several things when investing in a drive-through restaurant, such as location and demographics, before deciding whether or not it's right for you

The first thing that needs consideration is where your potential business should be located. A major factor here is population density - what does the neighborhood look like? Is there plenty of foot traffic on any given day? If so, this would mean more customers for the restaurant! You also want to make sure there are no competing businesses nearby that may lure away your customer base; try looking at some other areas of town with less competition and underserved population.

What are the costs of buying a drive through restaurant?

The costs to consider include the cost of the building, renovations or repairs and upgrades needed in order to do business. There may be additional fees such as franchise fees, permits, licensing. Talk to your broker about additional costs.

The cost for a commercial property itself will vary depending on the size and location; a building might cost more than one near a busy highway interchange with high traffic volume. The price per square foot also varies significantly by location.

How to make your purchase profitable and sustainable in the long run.

Purchasing a profitable drive-through restaurant requires careful research and consideration of what is needed in the area.

You will need to consider the most profitable drive-through locations, deciding if you want a single site or plan on multiple sites.

Consideration should be given to both established restaurants with traffic volumes that meet your needs as well as those which are under-performing but have potential for time and money investment to increase revenues.

Is it worth it for you to buy a drive thru restaurant now?

Right now is a a great time to invest in a drive through restaurant.

As of 2021, Interest rates are low and there is less competition for properties, which means you can get the property for less money than if you buy it later on down the road when prices and interest rates may increase. Additionally, now would be a good time to buy because people need convenient and safe food options during tough economic times.
