Improved Commercial Land for Lease in Franklin, North Carolina

AVAILABLE FOR LEASE - PRIME RESTAURANT / EVENT SPACE OPPORTUNITY Approximately 7,000 SF former steakhouse restaurant offering a spacious and versatile layout, including three distinct dining rooms, a solarium, central bar, wait station, and a working fireplace. Originally developed as a Western Steer Steakhouse, the property is currently utilized for catered events and private gatherings, showcasing its adaptability for a variety of hospitality concepts. Positioned on a prominent corner lot within Franklin city limits along heavily traveled U.S. Route 441, the site benefits from strong visibility and consistent traffic flow connecting Georgia to Asheville, Cherokee, and surrounding Great Smoky Mountains attractions. This strategic location makes it an ideal destination for both local patrons and regional travelers. Alcohol permits are available within city limits and have previously been issued for this location. The property's existing country-western character lends itself well to a national steakhouse, themed dining concept, entertainment venue, event facility, bar, or billiards hall, while also accommodating showroom or retail uses. The kitchen, bar, and service areas are in place but will require full renovation and equipment installation. Dedicated spaces include dishwashing, food prep and cold storage, grill line, office, employee restroom, and more. Natural gas service is available. Originally designed for approximately 300 seats, the property also offers three entrances, 50+ on-site parking spaces, with additional overflow parking available in an adjacent shopping center. Over 350' frontage on Hwy 441 with 335' on Terrell Rd. This is a rare opportunity to reposition a highly visible, large-format restaurant space in a thriving mountain corridor. Agent is related to owner.
