Marketing description

The Brown Group of Marcus & Millichap has been selected to exclusively market for sale a high-performing Denny's in Auburn, WA, secured by a brand-new 20-year absolute net lease to be executed at closing. The lease offers long-term, passive cash flow, zero landlord responsibilities, 10% rent escalations every five years, and a guarantee from Awashington, LLC (15 WA locations, $30M+ in annual sales). The restaurant is operated by The Keshap Group — a multi-brand franchisee with 25+ years of experience, 35 Denny's, 16 Papa John's, and four Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants, and one Gong cha (with more in development). This Denny's ranks in the top 14% of all restaurants in Washington state and top 30% nationally (per Placer.ai). It is situated just off Hwy-18 (88,000+ VPD) at the signalized hard corner of Auburn Way S and 6th St SE (57,000+ VPD). The property was extensively renovated in 2018 to Denny's modern prototype standards and benefits from an exceptional mix of regional traffic drivers including the Muckleshoot Casino, one of the largest casinos in the Pacific Northwest. Additional demand drivers include nearby hotels, the Boeing Auburn plant, and the Outlet Collection — the largest outlet mall in the Pacific Northwest with 5.2 million annual visitors. The site serves approximately 195,000 residents within 5 miles, with average household incomes exceeding $105,000, in income tax-free Washington state.
