Pendleton Retail for Sale - Anderson County

Pegasus Investments Real Estate Advisory Inc., in conjunction with ParaSell, Inc., are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a 100% absolute triple net (NNN) leased Bojangles, backed by the chain’s largest franchisee, BOJ of WNC (the “Property”). This fee simple offering provides investors with stable, passive cash flow secured by a nationally recognized QSR brand. BOJ of WNC operates more than 120 Bojangles locations across five states, and this location benefits from over 13 years remaining on the original 20-year lease term. The lease includes 1.50% annual rent increases throughout the base term and both five-year renewal options, offering a rare blend of zero landlord responsibilities and built-in income growth. The Property sits on a prime 1.29-acre pad site with a 3,730-square-foot drive-thru restaurant built in 2014. With ±56 surface parking spaces (a 15.01:1,000 SF ratio), the site offers superior accessibility and visibility along Highway 76, the main thoroughfare connecting Clemson and Anderson. The surrounding retail corridor features a growing lineup of national brands, including recently constructed Dunkin’, Circle K, and Zaxby’s locations, as well as the nearby Pendleton Plaza, anchored by Food Lion, the largest grocery chain in South Carolina with 142 locations. This location benefits from strong traffic counts, (29,000+ VPD) on Highway 76, and continued retail expansion in a rapidly developing submarket. The immediate trade area has experienced a surge in residential development, further reinforcing the strength of the location. Within just a half-mile of the Property, over 900 new housing units have been recently delivered or are under construction, including the 291-home Champions Village at Cherry Hill, The Preserve at Pendleton (258 homes), and The Falls at Meehan (296 apartments). Directly across the street, Wren Point added another 75 single-family homes in 2022. This sustained population growth enhances the long-term fundamentals of the site and supports continued traffic to the tenant’s operations. Pendleton is located in the heart of the Upstate South Carolina region and is less than 10 minutes from Clemson University, which enrolls over 29,000 students and supports more than 2,000 faculty members. Clemson generates an estimated $6.4 billion in annual economic impact statewide, nearly $5 billion of which is concentrated in the Upstate. Coupled with Bojangles’ own national growth, including over 35 new stores in 2024 and expansion into key new markets in 2025, this asset is ideally positioned at the intersection of brand momentum, strong franchise backing, and robust local market growth.

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.
