Arby's Real Estate For Sale

Typically located on 0.5-1 acre, the leasing terms are usually 20 years with between 2 and 4 five year options. Annual increases may be found ranging from 1-2%, or even from 5-10% every five years. Although keep in mind that for many Arby restaurants, lease terms and capitalization rates are variable depending on size, sales, and operations per individual location. This is further due to the fact that most Arby’s properties are franchised, so each will contain a unique guarantor with an associated leasing arrangement.
