Restaurant Opportunity in Iconic Downtown Greensboro Location
Located at 100 W Washington Street, Greensboro, NC, this is a rare opportunity to step into a 2nd generation restaurant space in the heart of downtown; no business purchase required.
We are not selling a business, we are looking for the right operator to bring a strong concept, vision, and investment into the space.
The Space
4,285 SF interior
851 SF patio (expanding to 3,072 SF of fenced area) on desirable corner
Patio expansion already permitted (ability to make adjustments if secured early)
2nd story loft that can function as a private dining or party room
Extremely high ceilings and skylights
Located in a mixed-use building with boutique apartments above
Trendy salon and coffee shop in the same building/next door
Prime, walkable downtown location next door to 706 space public parking garage
The Opportunity
$7,500/month (does not include utilities)
True 2nd generation restaurant
Existing infrastructure in place (hood, grease trap, bar, etc.)
Significant equipment on-site (older — will need updating or replacement)
Strong foundation but space requires capital investment to reposition successfully
This is not turnkey and is best suited for an experienced operator with the financial ability to invest in improvements.
We are seeking an operator who:
Has proven restaurant experience
Brings a clear concept and vision
Has the capital to invest in upfitting, equipment, and overall refresh
Has a strong eye for design, branding, and guest experience
Built-In Demand Drivers
Adjacent to the new 1,000-capacity The Pyrle Theatre (first show 2/17/26, ~150 shows/year)
1 block from The Carolina Theatre (1,100 seats)
~0.4 miles from the $94M, 3,000-seat Steven Tanger Performing Arts Center (on the same corridor)
Significant opportunity for pre/post-show dining, bar traffic, and repeat customers
Why This is Unique
Avoid the cost and timeline of a full restaurant buildout
Large (and expanding) private patio — rare for downtown
Immediate proximity to multiple major entertainment anchors
Ability to get in early and help shape the final patio layout
Next Steps If you’re an experienced operator with the vision and capital to execute, we’d love to connect.
