The lease offers long-term, passive cash flow, zero landlord responsibilities, 10% rent escalations every five years, and a guarantee from Awashington, LLC (16 WA locations, $30M+ in annual sales). The restaurant is operated by The Keshap Group — a multi-brand franchisee with 25+ years of experience, 40 Denny's, 20 Papa John's, and four Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants.

The property was extensively renovated in 2022 to Denny's modern prototype standards. The site serves approximately 274,000 residents within 5 miles, with average household incomes exceeding $98,000, in income tax-free Washington state.
