Market Context
Key figures tenants and landlords need to understand the Mississippi restaurant lease market.
Mississippi has a restaurant industry generating billions of dollars in annual leases across thousands of locations statewide. The market spans the Jackson metro capital corridor, the Gulf Coast casino and tourism economy anchored by Biloxi and Gulfport, the rapidly growing DeSoto County suburbs of Memphis, and university driven markets in Hattiesburg, Starkville, and Oxford.
Lease rates are among the most accessible in the United States. Prime Jackson locations in the Belhaven, Fondren, and downtown areas command $16 to $24 per square foot annually. Gulf Coast prime locations near the casinos and the beach range from $16 to $22. DeSoto County suburbs of Memphis run $14 to $20. Most secondary Mississippi markets fall between $12 and $18 per square foot.
Mississippi restaurant transactions involving alcohol require approval from the Mississippi Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control. tenants should confirm license type, review at least three years of financials, and check the wet, dry, or limited status of the specific county, since Mississippi still has a significant number of counties with limited alcohol availability.
