Overview

Located on the corner of Stephenson and Ludington in Escanaba, this commercial property houses two businesses. La Cantina Mexican restaurant occupies part of the building and pays $3200 per month plus utilities, with the possibility of signing a long-term lease. The other part of the building is currently occupied by Novak's used car sales and repair shop, which will be vacating the premises, leaving behind a car hoist, a large air compressor, and tire racks. The property includes two additional lots across the alley. The restaurant has its own separate heating and cooling systems, while the garage area is equipped with a natural gas heater and a wood furnace, along with an office and bathroom. The roof over the restaurant was replaced in 2025 with a rubberized sealing at a cost of $40,000. The repair shop and used car lot space could be repurposed into a machine shop or other industrial facility. The property size is 11000 square feet and the lot size is 0.7 acres.
