Freddy’s building for sale: $2.7 million
May 8, 2020
A local fast-food franchise’s building is up for sale just over half-a-year after the establishment opened early last October.
Freddy’s, located along Maple Avenue is selling its location for $2,728,000 according to marketing material published online by Capital Pacific.
The terms of the sale, an absolute NNN lease, would allow the franchise to remain at the location and pay rent to its new owners. The tenant would pay expenses such as property tax, insurance, repairs and utilities.
Often NNN sale-leases are created to allow business owners the capital to reinvest in their business, as well as offsetting the expenses or debts incurred in the launching of the establishment.
The Giesen family, owners of the local franchise, are issuing a 10-year personal guarantee according to the marketing packet which would give a prospective buyer the extra security of a guaranteed tenant over the next decade.
The publicized terms show a 15-year lease with a 7.5 percent rent increase every 5 years. The sale also includes 3 additional 5-year options should the tenant choose to exercise.
The document states that Freddy’s would pay $14,777 in monthly rent through September of 2024 if purchased at the proposed terms.
As previously reported by Y-City News, Freddy’s opened in Zanesville on October 11, 2019, and is owned by Colorado-based franchise Dave Giesen.

Can I get some of the stuff your smoking? You don’t have a clue.
1. Economy was not about to crash, was doing best ever before the virus.
2. Half of the small buis in this town will not close by end of year, that’s nonsense
3. They are not going out just selling the building, harbor freight did same thing, as many companies do.
Think before you write something dumb like that!

Has nothing to do with going out of business or the virus crisis. Didn’t you all read the article ?
The company is using this sale as a way to raise capital.

Shame this induced panic has shut down a good place to eat, slightly high, but tasty.

Too funny! The previous meat business had to move when the lot was sold to Freddy’s for $500,000. Now, like Popeyes Chicken, and others, the business has crashed….Blame The China Virus as the cause! Forget that the economy was about to crash from being trillions in debt. Ha! No one will pay the asking price of $2,700,000. Here is yet another bad business decision and another vacant fast food building in a town that is hanging on by a thread that will see 50% closure of small businesses by the end of the year or sooner.
