Freestanding Dairy Queen in Spring Texas is acquired with 19 years remaining on a 20 year, absolute NNN lease.

Intersection Senior Director, Kyle Clark represented the buyer in the sale of the freestanding drive-through Dairy Queen for $3,100,000. The 3,098 square-foot property is situated in a regional trade area, which has undergone a new wave of retail growth. Approximately 400,000 SF of retail has been added to the surrounding area within the last five years.

The design is the latest Dairy Queen prototype, with a larger format, reflecting the refined direction that the corporation has adopted following Warren Buffett’s acquisition of the brand. This location is currently outperforming the sales of other Dairy Queens in the Greater Houston area and is continually meeting and surpassing profit margins even throughout the COVID-19 indoor restaurant closures.

Mr. Clark was approached by the buyer’s family attorney to locate a suitable property to complete the buyer’s 1031-exchange, following the sale of their multi-family apartment project. The buyer’s goal was to shelter their substantial gain while relieving them of the daily property management tasks associated with a substantial apartment complex. Kyle was hyperfocused to find a property that would be truly passive and self-sufficient in ownership responsibilities that will also provide a reliable stream of income to sustain them for the remainder of their lifetimes. Eventually, the property will pass to the next generation of kin established through their family trust. Although the buyers are San Diego residents, the focus was on properties outside California to maximize the return with lower Cap-Rates. Following this sale, a second NNN property has been identified which will also be purchased by year-end to complete the exchange requirement.
