Louisville Portfolio of properties for Sale - W Outlying Jefferson Cnty

TRIO Commercial Property Group is pleased to present the exclusive opportunity to acquire a three-property retail portfolio located along the high traffic Dixie Highway corridor in Louisville, Kentucky. The portfolio consists of a complementary mix of quick-service restaurant Hardee’s, national retail – Mattress Firm, and full-service restaurant tenancy – Umami Buffet. Strong National Tenant Presence The portfolio is anchored by Hardee’s and Mattress Firm, two nationally recognized tenants providing stable and credit-backed income. These tenants represent a significant portion of the portfolio’s revenue and enhance overall investment security. Diversified Income Stream Across Multiple Tenants The portfolio includes three distinct tenants across separate buildings, reducing reliance on any single tenant and providing income diversification across multiple retail uses. Long-Term Lease Profile The Hardee’s lease features approximately 12 years of remaining term, while Mattress Firm and Pier 17 provide stable occupancy with renewal options, creating a balanced and durable lease profile. High Traffic & Strong Visibility The properties benefit from excellent frontage and visibility along Dixie Highway, with traffic counts exceeding 50,000 vehicles per day, supporting strong tenant performance and long-term real estate value. 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.

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.
