Sacramento Retail for Lease - South Sacramento

Built in 1990, this 1,250 SF freestanding space was most recently operated as a Subway sandwich shop and offers a rare head start for a new food or beverage operator. For a café, coffee concept, bakery, QSR, or fast-casual user, this translates directly into a faster, less capital-intensive path to opening day. The space has a proven track record as a food-service location and was, until recently, fully leased. Current ownership acquired the property and negotiated a lease with a café operator who had the space essentially move-in ready before ultimately withdrawing prior to lease execution. As a result, the buildout and layout are already oriented toward food service, and the space is available now without the lead time of a ground-up conversion. Located on a corner lot on a cross street with over 41,000 cars going through the intersection. close to many offices , homes and other retail center. Also close to Shriner hospital. Stockton Blvd is a well-traveled commercial corridor on Sacramento's south side, situated near the UC Davis Medical Center campus — a major regional employment and healthcare hub that generates consistent daytime foot traffic from employees, patients, and visitors. This makes the location well suited to concepts built around breakfast, lunch, and quick-service daypart traffic, including coffee, sandwiches, and grab-and-go food. The property offers a functional, efficient floor plan sized appropriately for a single-operator food-service concept, with the flexibility to support counter service, limited seating, or a hybrid dine-in/to-go model depending on tenant needs. This is a strong opportunity for a restaurant or food-service operator to occupy a location with existing infrastructure, an active leasing history, and immediate availability. Ownership is motivated to move quickly given the space's readiness.
