The property features a recently fully remodeled 2,884-square-foot freestanding building with a drive-thru, situated on a 0.68-acre parcel offering excellent frontage and accessibility.
Located adjacent to a hard signalized intersection with traffic counts exceeding 69,812 vehicles per day, the property benefits from exceptional visibility and strong daily consumer exposure.
