9835 W State Road 78, Moore Haven, FL 33471

Property Description

This commercial building, situated on .81 of an acre, is ideally located on State Road 78, a busy thoroughfare that helps funnel traffic to and from the state's primary arteries to its costal and interior regions and beyond. According to the Vehicle Daily Traffic Report issued by the Florida DOT in 2022, some 3800 vehicles travel past this property every day making this corner lot the perfect location for a convenience store and/or gas station. This location has been used by former proprietors to sell gas, groceries, food, propane and fishing equipment (the Ortona locks located on the Caloosahatchee River are just down the road) and is well equipped to do so again. The building has walk-in coolers, large built-in refrigerated units, a fume hood, stainless steel prep sinks and there is even room to accommodate a few small tables. The covered gas island, once up and working again, would be a welcome addition indeed as there are no other gas stations or stores in the area and while there is ample parking space both at the front of the building and on one side for automobiles and semi-trucks alike, there is also room to expand. This area of Florida is growing at a pace few could have imagined a decade ago and the needs of the surrounding communities and the traffic they draw will only continue to increase.
