HIGH TRAFFIC ROUTE 30; A REGIONAL LOCATION– The Tenant has prominent frontage along U.S. Route 30, one of Lancaster’s primary east-west roadways and one of its busiest with 15,182 VPD.

PROXIMATE TO STRONG RETAIL & TOURISM DRIVERS – The Tenant is among a large critical mass of national retailers that anchor the nearby developments of Mill Creek Square, East Towne Center, Tanger Outlet Center and The Shops @ Rockvale.

Additionally, the outlet centers draw from trade areas extending from 50-to-70 miles, or more. This corridor also benefits greatly from its proximity to numerous tourism drivers, including Lancaster’s most popular attractions Dutch Wonderland, Strasburg Railroad, Kitchen Kettle Village, the Magic & Wonder Theater, Sight and South Theater and the American Music Theater. These attractions draw more than 8 million visitors per year to Lancaster.
LEADING FULL-SERVICE STEAKHOUSE – LongHorn Steakhouse is an American casual dining restaurant chain with more than 530 locations throughout the country and over 40 years of expertise. Amidst the Covid-19 shutdowns, the restaurant chain simplified operations, cut certain menu items, cut back on marketing spending and expanded takeout capabilities. As a result, LongHorn Steakhouse saw its same-store sales rise 31.6% in Q3 2022, much as it has in prior quarters. The chain’s sales bounced back faster than its sister concept Olive Garden after building a strong takeout business earlier in the pandemic
