Overview

This 5,084 SF retail space is located within a busy shopping center and is positioned for strong visibility. The former use was hatchet throwing, giving the space a versatile build-out that may support retail or entertainment-oriented concepts, subject to applicable requirements. The property is zoned for commercial use and offers signage opportunities as part of its storefront presentation.

The site sits on a major U.S. highway and benefits from a surrounding mix of recognizable national and regional tenants, including proximity to a Starbucks. The shopping center context is designed to serve day-to-day customers, with ample parking available for visitors.

For operators seeking a storefront location with highway exposure and established shopping-center activity, this space provides a practical platform for retail or an entertainment-related use. Prospective tenants should review the existing interior configuration from the prior hatchet-throwing use and confirm any intended improvements and permitted uses with the appropriate authorities.
