Passive Investment Profile The portfolio is structured to provide passive ownership, with tenants responsible for taxes, operating expenses, and limited day-to-day maintenance under NNN or modified net lease structures. Below-Market Rents Provide Future Upside Select tenants, including the restaurant component, are operating at below-market rental levels, offering investors the ability to increase income through future leasing activity while maintaining current occupancy stability.

KENTUCKY BROKER OF RECORD.....Justin Baker .. Lic No: 204053 Faris Lee Investments is pleased to offer the fee simple interest (land & building) in a newly constructed, freestanding Chipotle located at 10415 Preston Highway, Louisville, Kentucky 40229 with a September 12, 2025 grand opening. This prime investment opportunity features a brand-new 2025 construction and the latest “Chipotlane” drive-thru prototype, designed to significantly boost sales volume and operational efficiency. The property comes with a strong, long-term seventeen (17) year absolute NNN lease with 4-5 year options, guaranteeing long-term stability and security for the investor. The lease includes scheduled rental increases throughout the term and option periods, ensuring a natural hedge against inflation and consistent cash flow. Investors will benefit from land and new building ownership with an investment grade tenant and zero deferred maintenance, providing unparalleled advantages in the robust Louisville market. The tenant, Chipotle (NYSE: CMG), is an investment-grade, national credit tenant with a strong financial standing. As a publicly traded, international quick-service restaurant chain, Chipotle reported annual revenues exceeding $11.3 billion in 2024 and operates over 3,700 restaurants worldwide, including locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. With approximately 130,000 employees and a market capitalization exceeding $75 billion as of July 2025, Chipotle continues to be a reliable and prestigious brand in the quick-service restaurant segment. The absolute NNN lease structure means Chipotle is responsible for all building, structure, and roof maintenance, as well as common area expenses like parking lot upkeep, landscaping, and lighting, eliminating landlord responsibilities for repairs and maintenance. Chipotle’s lease structure at this location offers ease of management and is ideal for passive investors or those seeking a 1031 exchange, as the tenant handles all property taxes, liability insurance, and recurring operating expenses. Strategically positioned in a dynamic trade area, the property boasts excellent street visibility, fronting highly traveled Preston (61) Highway, which has over 55,000 vehicles per day. It is also adjacent to Interstate 265 (over 90,000 VPD), a major arterial, and in close proximity to Interstate 65 (135,000 VPD).

Nearby major retailers include Walmart, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Kroger, Kohl’s, Meijer, Tractor Supply Co., and Cinemark Cinemas, ensuring a consistent flow of consumer traffic. Louisville is a major distribution hub experiencing high growth, with over 20 million square feet of distribution and warehousing complexes recently built in the county. Top employers in the area include Amazon, UPS, Ford Motor Co., Best Buy Logistics, and Gordon Food Service. The Louisville International Airport, just 9 miles from the property, is the third-largest cargo airport in North America. Furthermore, Ford Motor Co.’s commitment of over $5.8 billion to develop two state-of-the-art lithium battery plants in the trade area signals robust economic expansion and job growth. With a Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN Metro Area population of 1.36 million in 2023 and an average household income within one (1) mile of $92,076, the market demonstrates strong demographic fundamentals and consistent population growth. This investment presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a high-quality asset in a prime location with strong returns.

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.
