How to lease a restaurant space in Chapel Hill, NC
- Nail down your concept and business plan. Define your restaurant type, target diners, and seating capacity. Landlords evaluate you as much as you evaluate them.
- Budget from projected sales. Keep rent and utilities at 5–10% of expected revenue. Reserve funds for build-out, which can run $200+ per sq. ft. for restaurants.
- Scout high-traffic locations. Use Location Intelligence to find neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, NC where food service is underserved and foot traffic supports your concept.
- Prioritize kitchen-ready infrastructure. A second-generation space with hood, ventilation, grease trap, and adequate power saves months and huge build-out costs. Also check parking and liquor license availability.
- Verify the full occupancy cost. Restaurant leases are typically NNN or percentage-based, so run base rent, CAM, taxes, and insurance through the Lease Calculator before signing an LOI.
- Negotiate a long-term lease with protections. Push for a 5–10 year term with renewal options, free rent during build-out, and a TI allowance, then have an attorney review the lease and any personal guarantee.
