Executive Summary

Marcus & Millichap's Brown Retail Group has been selected to exclusively market for sale a high-performing Denny's in Auburn, WA, secured by a brand-new 20-year Absolute Net Lease to be executed at closing. The lease offers long-term, passive cash flow, zero landlord responsibilities, 10% rent escalations every five years, and a guarantee from Awashington, LLC (15 WA locations, $30M+ in annual sales). The restaurant is operated by The Keshap Group — a multi-brand franchisee with 25+ years of experience, 35 Denny's, 16 Papa John's, and four Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants. This Denny’s ranks in the top 14% of all restaurants in Washington state and top 30% nationally (per Placer.ai). It is situated just off Hwy-18 (88,000+ VPD) at the signalized hard corner of Auburn Way S and 6th St SE (57,000+ VPD). The property was extensively renovated in 2018 to Denny's modern prototype standards and benefits from strong traffic drivers including nearby hotels, the Boeing Auburn plant, and the Outlet Collection — the largest outlet mall in the Pacific Northwest with 5.2 million annual visitors. The site serves approximately 195,000 residents within 5 miles, with average household incomes exceeding $105,000, in income tax-free Washington state.
