Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This freestanding Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen drive-thru is located along Imperial Avenue (State Route 111), a heavily trafficked commercial corridor connecting the U.S.–Mexico border to the broader Imperial Valley. The property benefits from exceptional visibility, strong commuter flow, and proximity to the Calexico East Port of Entry. This location supports consistent daily traffic from local residents, regional employees, and international visitors. The asset is secured by a long-term NNN lease with approximately 15 years of firm term remaining, offering predictable, passive income with minimal landlord responsibilities. Scheduled 10% rent increases every five years provide built-in income growth and long-term inflation protection. The lease is guaranteed by an experienced multi-unit Popeyes franchisee. Calexico serves as a key commercial hub for the Imperial Valley and the Mexicali metropolitan region, supported by cross-border commerce, logistics, education, healthcare, and government employment. The surrounding trade area includes major national retailers, grocery anchors, and service businesses, reinforcing the corridor as a dominant retail destination. Ongoing regional investment continues to strengthen long-term demand and population growth. The property size is 2348 square feet.
