Ewing Retail for Sale - Trenton

Thomas Company is pleased to present the exclusive opportunity to acquire a single tenant Sonic Drive-In located at 1660 North Olden Avenue in Ewing Township (Mercer County), New Jersey. This fee simple property totals 3,471 square feet on a 0.92-acre corner parcel, more than double the size of a typical Sonic prototype and featuring a dine-in area uncommon to the drive-in-focused format — attributes that broaden the site's appeal to a wide range of quick-service and fast-casual users and meaningfully reduce re-tenanting risk. The Property operates under an absolute triple-net lease with zero landlord responsibilities, backed by a personal and corporate, joint and several guaranty from the Munson Group, an experienced multi-unit operator with over 30 locations spanning the Sonic and Buffalo Wild Wings systems. The lease features 2.00% annual rent escalations throughout the initial term and all four, five-year renewal options, providing durable contractual rent growth that could extend the lease through 2053. Reflecting the scheduled rent increase to $137,957 effective November 2026, the offering is priced at a 6.0% cap rate, giving investors embedded upside ahead of the next rent reset. Sonic is a nationally recognized quick-service brand known for its distinctive drive-in format and carhop delivery service, operating over 3,500 locations across 45+ states. Sonic was acquired by Inspire Brands in 2018 and today operates as part of Inspire's multi-brand restaurant platform alongside Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John's, Dunkin', and Baskin-Robbins, which is majority-owned by Roark Capital, a leading private equity firm with a long track record of scaling franchise-based, multi-unit businesses. The Property is positioned on a prime signalized corner along North Olden Avenue, benefiting from over 25,000 vehicles per day and situated within a dense, established retail corridor anchored by ShopRite, Home Depot, CVS, Walgreens, and Dunkin'. The site sits within the greater Trenton-Princeton metropolitan area, just minutes from The College of New Jersey and downtown Trenton, and approximately 10 miles from Princeton University, benefiting from spillover demand generated by the university's students, faculty, and visitors. More than 250,000 residents live within a five-mile radius of the site, with an average household income exceeding $106,000, further supported by nearby affluent communities including Lawrence Township.

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.
