during renovation

    A landmark in Albemarle County since 1934, the Historic Hickory Hill Store, most recently known for its outstanding Bar-B-Que and catering, is now available for lease.  Located on Route 29 South, less than a mile South of interstate 64, the Hickory Hill Store has an outstanding location with easy access to the 16,000 vehicles which pass by each day.  It is just minutes away from the University of Virginia's Fontaine Research Facility and the UVA Grounds.  At 1,200 square feet in size the store has a large kitchen with a new 10 foot exhaust hood, an 8' by 20' walk in merchandising cooler with 6 doors and new compressor & evaporator, customer restroom and ample retail space.  A 650 square foot deck alongside the building allows customers to enjoy their purchases al fresco.  There is a gasoline island with a two sided dispenser for regular, plus and super, served by an 8,000 gallon tank for regular and a 4,000 gallon tank for super.

     The store is currently undergoing a complete and total renovation and is expected to be ready for occupancy in two months.  Not just a repaint, this is a "to the studs" renovation with all new electrical, plumbing, and mechanicals.  A special eye has been placed on balancing the rustic feel of the building while having a thoroughly modern interior.  Oak hardwood floors and stone tile in the restroom give Hickory Hill a natural appeal while central air conditioning, and contemporary lighting make it comfortable.  Behind the walls is a building ready to give you everything you need to have a successful business.  A 400 amp electric service powers Hickory Hill with 200 amps dedicated to the kitchen. The 4' by 10' hood will handle anything you put under it.  There's a lower level with two rooms for storage.  And the optional central vacuum system will make housekeeping a breeze!  To keep heating and cooling costs under control the building has new Pella windows, new central air conditioning and heating and is insulated with spray foam insulation.

     This store is in a prime location for a Bar-B-Que takeout and catering business as well as an upscale market with the convenience of gasoline.  A fantastic rest stop for travelers on 29 just before they get on Interstate 64.

A Lease term of three to five years is available.  Rent is $2,500 per month.
