Market Context

Restaurants For Lease

Restaurant leases in Huntington Beach are available on Main Street, along Pacific Coast Highway, and in the commercial areas serving the city's large residential base. Motivated landlords in the current market are offering competitive terms to attract quality operators.

Second-generation restaurant spaces are the most cost-efficient leasing option for operators entering Huntington Beach. A second-gen space comes with existing food service infrastructure already in place including hood systems, grease traps, commercial plumbing, walk-in coolers, and often current health permits. This can save operators $100,000 to $400,000 in build-out costs compared to converting a raw commercial space, and compress the timeline from lease signing to opening from twelve months or more to as few as four to eight weeks. Pepperlot is the only marketplace where operators can search for second-generation restaurant spaces in Huntington Beach using restaurant-specific filters. Search by hood systems, grease traps, walk-in coolers, patio availability, and existing permits to identify the right space without extensive back-and-forth inquiries.
