Waseca Retail for Sale

Value-Add Retail Investment — Waseca, MN 1270 / 1234 / 1230 N State Street | Units 2, 3 & 4 | 43,693 SF In-place income plus 33,825 SF of repositioning upside, priced well below replacement cost on Waseca's dominant retail corridor. Assumable Financing Anchor of the center is Bomgaars Fleet & Farm (nap). This multi-tenant retail offering combines durable current cash flow with a rare value-add component in a market where new construction can't pencil. Three of the three units are occupied and generating income — Elevate Eyecare (2,931 SF), a national-format tobacco retailer (2,937 SF), and Cash Wise Grocery and Liquor (38,000 SF). The real estate sits on North State Street (MN Trunk Highway 13), which carries the highest traffic counts in Waseca, with frontage and signalized access. The immediate trade area is the town's commercial spine — Walmart, McDonald's, and Verizon all draw within the same node — and the site backs to Waseca's junior and senior high schools, layering steady daytime and after-school traffic onto the regional draw. For an owner willing to lease up or reposition the vacant box, the location does much of the heavy lifting on demand. Investment Highlights In-place income from day one — sale price is 10 cap on current NOI with three occupied units (eyecare, tobacco, and Cash Wise) provides current cash flow while the large box is repositioned, reducing carry risk on the value-add component. PAD Opportunity - national retailer wants to buy a pad with a drive-thru. Below replacement cost — basis is well under what it would cost to build, creating downside protection and room for an attractive yield-on-cost after lease-up. 33,825 SF of flexible upside — the vacant box accommodates a single big-box user, a multi-tenant demise, or a non-retail conversion such as self-storage, medical/clinical, fitness, or education/training space. Hard-corner, high-visibility location — the highest traffic counts in town on N State St / Hwy 13, with signalized access and Bomgaars as a built-in anchor draw. Proven retail node — adjacency to Walmart, McDonald's, and Verizon plus the high-school corridor supports both retail and service/medical demand. Multiple exit paths — stabilize-and-hold for yield, lease-up-and-sell on the spread, or reposition the box and recapitalize. The Opportunity A buyer steps into a stabilized income base on three units while controlling the lease-up and repositioning of a 33,825 SF box in a supply-constrained market — the classic value-add setup of buying occupancy and basis today and creating value through the vacancy. Whether the path is a national big-box backfill, a multi-tenant demise, or an alternative-use conversion, the location's traffic and anchor co-tenancy give the next owner a credible playbook.

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.
