Second-Gen Drive-Thru Restaurant for Sale – Eastman, GA
Second-Generation Drive-Thru Restaurant for Sale — 3,168 SF Freestanding QSR on US-23, Eastman, GA
Marketing description
Move-in-ready, second-generation restaurant with drive-thru for sale in Eastman, GA. This ±3,168 SF freestanding building sits on a ±1.19-acre pad along Oak Street/U.S. Highway 23, the established retail and QSR corridor through Dodge County carrying ±10,192 vehicles per day. The drive-thru lane and restaurant infrastructure are already built and operational, allowing an operator to plug in and open without the cost, timeline, or risk of ground-up construction.
Offered well below replacement cost. With new freestanding QSR construction running $400–$600+/SF before land, this former Wendy's delivers immediate equity in the basis for an owner-user or investor. The property most recently operated as a restaurant into early 2026, so the asset shows well and is ready for immediate occupancy — letting an operator own and build equity rather than rent.
The location offers a captive, built-in customer base. The site is directly adjacent to Dodge County High School (875+ students), Dodge County Middle School (600 students), and Memorial Stadium (4,900-seat capacity), home of the Dodge County Indians — generating consistent daily and event-driven traffic at the door. The pad features ±182 feet of frontage, dual access via Pearl Bates Avenue, and 49 on-site parking spaces. National neighbors that have already validated the trade area include McDonald's, Popeyes, Zaxby's, Captain D's, CVS, Walmart, and Dollar General.
Flexible B-1 Neighborhood Business District zoning supports a wide range of restaurant, retail, medical, and service uses. The market is further anchored by Middle Georgia State University's Eastman aviation campus — the University System of Georgia's only flight school, part of an 8,000+ student university — importing a steady, year-round base into a trade area with limited QSR competition.
