Hilliard Retail for Sale

Pegasus Investments Real Estate Advisory Inc., in conjunction with ParaSell, Inc., as exclusive advisors to Seller, are pleased to present the fee simple interest in a CAVA drive-thru located in Columbus (Hilliard), Ohio (the “Property”). Originally a drive-thru QSR site, the Property was extensively remodeled for CAVA in 2026. The 2,882-square-foot building sits on a full acre and is leased directly to CAVA Mezze Grill, LLC, a wholly owned corporate entity of CAVA Group, Inc. (NYSE: CAVA), on a brand-new 15-year net lease. Backed by one of the most compelling growth companies in the restaurant industry, the Property is situated in a submarket that has consistently outperformed the broader Midwest for over a decade. Positioned as an outparcel to a Target that generates over 1.2 million visits annually (per Placer.ai), the site also sits within a half mile of one of the strongest big-box concentrations in the Columbus metro including Sam’s Club, Meijer, Walmart Supercenter, Kohl’s, and Burlington. Further the QSR lineup along the corridor features a best in class line-up of national credit operators, including Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Starbucks, McDonalds, Panda Express, Texas Roadhouse, and Outback Steakhouse. With virtually no remaining pad sites available along Hilliard Rome Road, opportunities of this caliber rarely come to market. Hilliard has experienced exceptional demographic growth, with population increasing more than 30% since 2010 and projected to expand an additional 50% through 2050. The property benefits from a dense and affluent consumer base, with more than 189,000 residents within a five-mile radius and average household incomes approaching $100,000 within both the three- and five-mile trade areas. As part of the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the Midwest, Hilliard stands out as one of the strongest-performing submarkets within the greater Columbus MSA. The Property fronts Hilliard Rome Road, a primary north-south corridor carrying approximately 23,000 vehicles per day with direct access to Interstate 70, the 5th largest highway system in the country and the main artery connecting Hilliard to Downtown Columbus. Positioned at the midpoint between I-70 and Roberts Road, the site draws from multiple directions and serves both the daily commuter and a dense, growing residential base with equal convenience. Structured as a NN (Roof/Structure) corporate lease, the lease features 10% increases to base rent every 5 years through the base term and all three option periods. Notably, if the landlord elects to replace the roof, maintenance obligations then transfer to the tenant going forward, creating a clear and achievable path to a virtually “hands off” triple net (NNN) lease structure. The offering is further strengthened by the continued momentum of CAVA, which generated $1.18 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue, representing 23% year-over-year growth. The brand currently operates 439 locations across 26 states and has outlined a long-term growth strategy targeting 1,000 locations by 2032. Notably, CAVA is a publicly traded company (NYSE: CAVA) with a market cap exceeding $9 Billion, the 6th largest publicly traded QSR by market cap.

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.
