Description

Amazing opportunity to lease this incredible space and we know it's all about the "LOCATION" !! Rapidly growing Grand Dunes area within blocks away and Sooo close to the Beach. Directly beside Walgreens. This property has not been for lease since 1994. Previous tenant was "Collector's Cafe and Art Gallery". One of the former partners has since retired due to his health, and the remaining partner is my brother, Tommy Davis, who is actively seeking a NEW team of investor(s), and/or a partner that can be the Operations Manager. TRULY A LOCALS FAVORITE HOT SPOT and over the years, they won numerous awards for being #1: Best Fine Dining, Desserts, Service, Art Gallery. There were over 200 works of art in the building at a time and they represented numerous artists over the years. The restaurant was also featured in plenty of local and out of town publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Southern Living Magazine and others who had ecstatic reviews. The ambience was so eclectic that it was frequented by celebrities from all over the country. Was once described as: "The Collectors Caf and Art Gallery is unlike any other eatery at the beach"or for hundreds of miles for that matter. Part caf, part art gallery, part fine dining with Mediterranean cuisine, it is one of the truly unique places to grab a bite in the Carolinas." Since one partner is no longer a part of the excitement, it will undergo a slight name change and take on a whole new vibe that will be well worth the wait. It's currently undergoing a full-scale renovation that will create one of the most unique dining concepts in Myrtle Beach. A few words from Tommy: Back in the early 1990's the space was originally an Eye Doctors Office and it was converted into a restaurant in 1994. Now its time for CHANGE again: -->To turn a Restaurant into an even better EXPERIENCE...for many more years to come. The Grand Strand is ready and waiting for us to create our new dining adventure like none other. Casual yet private - FUN and an OPEN AIR concept. I'm looking for a new creative team. The restaurant was highly successful for 26 years until it caught fire. At this time, it is a blank canvas ready to be transformed. We have a reliable and loyal customer base who are anxiously awaiting the restaurant to rise from the ashes. I look forward to my sister helping to find just the right fit for our future operations via listing the space in the MLS and getting the word out to more people." The new restaurant design shows seating for 134 with an occupancy of 159. Through extensive market research, the future concept was created: "COLLECTOR'S COURTYARD" is the name that we would like to use. The new vision will answer the wants and needs of the changing dynamics of the Grand Strands customer base and will create a new cultural dining experience. There is already a commercial kitchen design done by Prime Ticket. There have been numerous meetings with architects, contractors, engineers and city officials that have already taken place. Full set of architectural plans have been completed. Engineering, fire system, plumbing, HVAC plans, bar design, layouts, etc., are all in discussion or have been completed. After the fire occurred: Brand new roof put on 50% of the building. Open to all possibilities that you may have for this great location.
