Marketing description
Matthews™ is pleased to present a compelling net lease investment opportunity at 3201 Peoples Street, Johnson City, Tennessee. This strategically located Wendy's restaurant is secured by a 24+ year Absolute Triple-Net (NNN) lease extending through December 31, 2050, with four additional 5-year renewal options. The property features structured rental increases of 7.5% every five years throughout the initial term and all renewal periods, providing consistent income growth and inflation protection.
The investment benefits from a recent assignment to an institutional-scale franchisee operating over 140 Wendy's units with more than $300 million in system-wide revenue, representing a significant upgrade in tenant credit and operational scale. Positioned in a high-traffic retail corridor just off I-26 / U.S. Route 23, the site benefits from over 184,000 combined vehicles per day along surrounding roadways and ranks in the top 13% nationally for Wendy's foot traffic.
Located just 2 miles from The Mall at Johnson City, 4 miles from East Tennessee State University, and 3.5 miles from Johnson City Medical Center, the property is surrounded by strong retail, education, and healthcare drivers. The area demographics are robust, with average household income exceeding $104,801 within a 1-mile radius.
