How a Logan County, CO restaurant leases retail space
A restaurant leasing retail space needs more from the lease than rent: a hood and grease trap allowance, the right to install equipment, utility capacity, and a term long enough to earn back the build-out. Ask who owns the kitchen equipment at the end of the lease and whether the landlord will sign a waiver that lets an equipment lender recover financed equipment.
