Former Sonic Drive-In at 1713 Gerstner Memorial Dr, Lake Charles, LA 70601 presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a land parcel that was previously a Sonic site in one of Southwest Louisiana’s most active commercial and industrial markets. Situated on approximately 0.62 acres along Gerstner Memorial Drive (US-171), the property benefits from excellent visibility and direct access to a major north-south corridor connecting to Interstate 10 and the broader Lake Charles region. Positioned within Lake Charles, this site is surrounded by established retail activity and supported by a strong economic base driven by petrochemical, LNG, healthcare, port, and logistics industries. Major employers in the area include Sasol, Phillips 66, Citgo, and Lake Charles Memorial Health System, while nearby McNeese State University adds a steady student and workforce presence. With zoning in place, this asset offers strong potential for an owner-user, or redevelopment play. Its strategic location near key employment centers, retail corridors, the Port of Lake Charles, and Lake Charles Regional Airport makes this a standout value-add opportunity in a growing regional market.
