AUCTION: Corporate Surplus - Former Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, West Monroe, LA

Please see property KEY5178 on our website at https://www.tranzon.com/key5178 for more information.

Positioned at one of the most strategically valuable restaurant sites in Northeast Louisiana, 224 Blanchard Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built, freestanding restaurant building with direct Interstate 20 frontage and unmatched visibility in West Monroe's dominant retail corridor. Built in 2011 and formerly operated as a Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, this property offers approximately +/-8,268 square feet of finished restaurant space on +/-1.7 acres - complete with remaining owned furniture, fixtures, and equipment included in the sale.

The building was constructed for high-volume casual dining operations and reflects the full-service infrastructure that demands: an open floor plan with ample natural light, commercial kitchen with freezer capacity, a full-service bar build-out, and 138 parking spaces. Tall pylon signage with direct I-20 visibility provides marketing exposure that very few freestanding properties in the market can match.

Whether the buyer is a restaurant operator ready to re-concept a proven location or a developer/investor targeting this large, high-traffic, easy-access site and trade area, 224 Blanchard Street is the property for you.
