About this Property
East Houston Former Church’s Chicken Restaurant for Lease with Drive-Thru
The opportunity
This 1,765 SF restaurant for lease at 9122 Mesa Dr, Houston, TX 77078 offers a rare former Church’s Chicken layout in the East Houston area, complete with an existing drive-thru configuration and core restaurant infrastructure already in place.
The space is fully built as a restaurant, making it a strong fit for fast casual, quick-service, or full-service operators looking for a second-generation restaurant footprint. While the property needs renovation, much of the heavy restaurant utility work is already present, which can help streamline a repositioning for the next tenant.
