Retail Restaurant Use in Heavy Traffic Corridor New River Valley
Marketing description
Poppy's at 315 Depot St presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established, community-anchored restaurant asset in the heart of Christiansburg's revitalized Depot District. Situated directly along the Huckleberry Trail and steps from Depot Park, the property benefits from a steady, built-in stream of pedestrian and cyclist traffic that few quick-service assets in the region can match.
Since opening, Poppy's has become a local institution — known for hand-dipped ice cream, hot dogs, BBQ, and a seasonal menu of guest favorites, backed by a 4.4-star reputation for hospitality, cleanliness, and consistency. The business has cultivated a loyal, multi-generational customer base and a highly engaged local following, translating into dependable performance and strong word-of-mouth demand.
The 1100 SF freestanding building + 900 patio space sits on + .41 acres of commercially zoned land, offering ample on-site parking / outdoor seating, and is well-suited to continued restaurant use, concept repositioning, or redevelopment for an alternative commercial use.
Positioned minutes from Virginia Tech, downtown Christiansburg, and I-81, the site draws consistent traffic from the university population, regional commuters, and visitors to the Depot Park/Huckleberry Trail corridor — one of the most active recreational assets in Montgomery County.
This offering represents an opportunity to acquire real estate and a proven, cash-flowing going concern in one of Christiansburg's most walkable and demand-driven micro-markets.
