Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This for-sale storefront retail space is currently configured as a 9-chair hair salon with five shampoo stations, plus a storage room that includes an office. It also includes a dedicated nail room, described as a suitable fit for a technician setup, and a mechanical mop sink area with storage. An updated half bath serves customers and staff. The entry features a spacious area that can support product or service displays, and the interior layout accommodates multiple service zones.

Located at 222 N Central Ave in Duluth, this property benefits from ample parking with 15 spots. The listing notes the site is positioned next to Super One, providing convenient nearby shopping access.

Because the space is already built out with distinct service areas, it may appeal to owner-operators or tenants seeking a turnkey retail and personal services environment. The presence of a second business operation described as a shake shop adds additional operational flexibility for a buyer or occupant looking to run complementary concepts from the same location. At 2,172 square feet on a 0.21-acre lot, it offers a workable footprint for retail and service uses that benefit from a customer-facing entry and on-site parking.

Key Highlights
