Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present for sale this Absolute NNN Wendy’s Hamburger Restaurant, located at 145 Eglin Parkway NE in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The property consists of a 2,485-square-foot freestanding building with a drive-thru, situated on a 0.36-acre parcel. Originally built in 2004 and renovated in 2014, the asset offers exceptional visibility and accessibility along one of the Florida Panhandle’s most heavily traveled corridors.
The property is positioned at a hard, signalized intersection along Eglin Parkway NE, a major north-south thoroughfare that serves as the primary commercial artery through Fort Walton Beach and connects to nearby Gulf Coast markets, including Panama City less than an hour away. The Wendy’s benefits from multiple points of ingress and egress, strong daily traffic, and outstanding frontage. It is located as an outparcel to a Winn-Dixie and Ross Dress for Less–anchored shopping center, which draws steady consumer demand and generates consistent foot traffic. Surrounding national retailers, established residential neighborhoods, and stable local demographics further reinforce the site’s strong retail fundamentals.
The lease commenced on November 1, 2020, under a 20-year absolute NNN structure with zero landlord responsibilities. With more than 15 years of base term remaining, the lease includes scheduled rent increases of 7.5 percent every five years and five additional 5-year renewal options, ensuring long-term income growth and security for investors.

With its strong brand recognition, customer loyalty, and proven resilience, Wendy’s continues to be a leader in the QSR sector and a reliable tenant for net lease investors.
