Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This restaurant building was previously operated as a Bojangles starting in 1983 and later as The Tokyo Express. The property has been mostly gutted and is being sold “as is, where is,” offering a blank-slate opportunity to convert the space for a new restaurant concept.

The property is offered for sale, and the public remarks note it is also available for a net lease at $100,000 per year.

Because the sale is structured as-is following a significant interior scope, prospective users should plan on completing the necessary buildout to support their intended restaurant operations.

Key Highlights

  • Restaurant building previously used as a Bojangles (since 1983).
  • Most recently operated as The Tokyo Express.
  • Property is listed as‑is where‑is following a partial gut (mostly gutted).
