By Sara Beth Williams–
A half-acre lot at the corner of Grand Oaks Boulevard and Auburn Boulevard is seeking a new owner.
According to a listing on the commercial real estate site LoopNet, the property includes an 890-square-foot drive-thru, where Rally’s restaurant operates. The property is listed as 100% leased.
Colliers Executive Vice President David Herrera told The Sentinel in a phone call that the property has been on the market for about two months, and has received two offers, but the offers were lower than the owner’s $2 million asking price. The asking price is not included in the posting on LoopNet.
The long-vacant parcel was once an eye-sore, but received significant improvements in curb appeal when Rally’s restaurant opened in October 2021.

The drive-thru-burger joint is adjacent to Rusch Community Park and located in the same parking lot as Steve Cook’s Fireside Lanes. The eatery has no indoor seating by design, and a small outdoor patio area has tables for diners to use.
Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc, a Florida-based company, operates Checkers and Rally’s restaurants in 28 states and the District of Columbia. The drive-in restaurants specialize in hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, and milkshakes.
