1417 7th St, Bay City, TX 77414 For Lease

Rare opportunity to bring your restaurant vision to life in one of Bay City’s established retail corridors. Formerly home to Papa John’s Pizza, this second-generation restaurant space offers a head start for an owner/operator, franchise concept, specialty café, bakery, catering kitchen, take-out concept, or your hometown Mom & Pop favorite. The location benefits from strong visibility along 7th Street/Highway 35—one of the primary commercial arteries connecting Bay City to the greater Gulf Coast and Houston markets.

Bay City continues to see steady growth with expanding residential development, industrial investment, and major employers fueling demand—including the $1.8 billion Tenaris facility and continued energy, agriculture, healthcare, and port-related commerce in the region. With Bay City serving as the county seat of Matagorda County and home to more than 18,000 residents, this is a community where local businesses still become local legends.

If you’ve been looking for a place where your concept can hit the ground running instead of starting from scratch… 1417 7th Street may be your next big move.

Bring your recipes, your brand, and your dream—Bay City is hungry for what’s next.
