121 Main Ave 1,755 SF Retail Building Hawley, PA 18428 $1,200,000 ($683.76/SF)

Rare opportunity to lease a fully built, recently renovated, freestanding restaurant in the heart of Hawley, Pennsylvania—one of the Pocono region’s most active and desirable destination markets. This location, long home to Joe & Lorenzo’s (40+ year operating history), has been completely renovated—interior, exterior, and kitchen—creating a true turnkey, ready-to-operate platform. Ownership is seeking a qualified, experienced restaurant operator capable of stepping into a fully equipped facility and becoming operational immediately—without the time, cost, and risk of a new buildout. The Opportunity: This is not a startup location. This is a fully realized restaurant platform designed for immediate execution. Ideal for established operators—particularly those in pizza, Italian, or high-volume casual dining—who can implement proven systems and maximize a highly visible, high-traffic location. All infrastructure is in place: fully equipped commercial kitchen (major equipment + smallwares), renovated dining areas, freestanding building with strong street presence, riverfront patio enhancing guest experience and capacity, and a prime location within Hawley’s active town center. Immediate upside opportunities include expanded hours of operation, delivery and takeout optimization, menu expansion and concept refinement, and leveraging an established and recognized location. Lease Structure: Long-term lease available. Key money required for turnkey transfer. Rent structured based on operator experience, concept, and term. Built-in escalations for long-term stability. Ownership will structure the lease in a manner that supports a qualified operator’s successful ramp-up, while maintaining a strong long-term position for the asset. Tenant Profile: This opportunity is selectively offered to experienced operators only. Qualified tenants will demonstrate proven restaurant operating history, existing concepts or multi-unit experience, financial capability and operational depth, and ability to open and execute efficiently. Prospective tenants will be expected to present their concept, experience, and operating plan for review and approval. Purchase Opportunity: The property is also available for sale. Ownership is open to a lease with option to purchase or a right of first refusal for tenant. This provides a clear pathway to ownership for a qualified operator seeking to establish operations prior to acquisition. Location Highlights: Central Hawley location with strong year-round activity, surrounded by retail, hospitality, and tourism drivers. High visibility along a primary thoroughfare. Destination market with regional and out-of-state draw. Unique riverfront setting with outdoor dining potential. Positioning: This is a fast-track operating opportunity for a professional operator. Enter a fully built, high-quality environment and begin generating revenue immediately—without the delays, capital requirements, and risks associated with new construction. Confidentiality & Process: This is a select offering. Qualified operators will be provided additional information upon request and will be required to participate in a structured review process prior to lease consideration.
