Description

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. This Denny's ranks in the top 22% of all restaurants in Washington state (per Placer.ai).

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.
