About this property
Exceptional opportunity to acquire a freestanding commercial restaurant property in a highly visible location along Whittier Boulevard. Situated on an approximately 17,473 SF (0.40-acre) parcel with 27 dedicated parking spaces, this property offers excellent street exposure and the flexibility for a buyer to bring their own restaurant concept. The property features an existing commercial restaurant buildout with spacious dining areas, a separate banquet/private dining area, commercial kitchen, preparation and storage areas, private office, freestanding pylon signage, and substantial restaurant infrastructure already in place. The property underwent extensive renovation/rebuilding in 2018, including improvements to major building systems. The commercial kitchen is equipped with restaurant-grade equipment, including a Bakers Pride pizza oven, Imperial cooking equipment, fryer, flat-top grill, pasta cooker, walk-in cooler/freezer, ice machine, mixer, dishwasher, and refrigeration equipment. A Type 47 On-Sale General Eating Place liquor license is included with the sale, subject to applicable California ABC requirements and approval of transfer. Sale is for the commercial real estate and does not include the existing restaurant business. Excellent opportunity for an owner-user, restaurant operator, or investor seeking a freestanding restaurant property in an established Whittier commercial corridor. Buyer to independently verify square footage, permits, zoning, parking, building improvements, liquor license transfer requirements, and suitability for buyer’s intended use.
