Greenfield Retail for Sale

Tennessee Broker of Record: Jonathon Aur / License No.: 265379 Faris Lee Investments & Jones Aur Commercial Real Estate is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a value-add retail investment anchored by McDonald’s, the world’s leading quick-service restaurant brand, located along the primary commercial corridor in Greenfield, Tennessee. The 8,445-square-foot retail strip center consists of a 3,627-square-foot McDonald’s with drive-thru operating under a long-term NNN lease and 4,818 square feet of adjacent vacancy, providing investors with a clearly defined leaseup opportunity. Current in-place NOI of approximately $60,000 has the potential to increase to approximately $146,724 upon stabilization, creating significant upside through the leasing of the vacant suites while benefiting from the stability of an investment-grade anchor tenant. Positioned on a 1.26-acre signalized hard corner with excellent visibility, multiple points of ingress and egress, and ample parking, the property is surrounded by established national retailers including Shell, Casey’s, Sonic, and Subway, reinforcing its position within Greenfield’s dominant retail corridor. The offering provides investors with an attractive basis at approximately $154 per square foot and multiple avenues for value creation through strategic lease-up at projected market rents. Upon stabilization, the property is expected to support a diversified rent roll, stronger cash flow, and enhanced long-term value while maintaining the security of McDonald’s as the anchor tenant. Investors also benefit from the flexibility to continue long-term ownership for stable income or pursue disposition as a fully leased retail investment following execution of the business plan. The property serves a regional trade area of approximately 47,880 residents within a 15-mile radius and is supported by more than 19,500 households, over 900 businesses, and nearly 11,000 employees. Nearby employers, including the University of Tennessee at Martin, Parker Hannifin, Plastic products Company, and Akin & Porter Produce, contribute to a stable economic base and consistent consumer demand. Combining dependable in-place income, meaningful leasing upside, a strategic hard-corner location, and multiple exit strategies, this offering presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a retail asset with both immediate cash flow and significant long-term value creation potential.

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.
