Commercial Remodel?

[Tom Mendez]

I have a 5k sq ft property in need of updating.

My thoughts go first to the fact that it was previously a restaurant. Am I correct in thinking that 'once a restaurant, always a restaurant,' and that this is the only way to utilize this property?

It was simply a single-story property with a large parking lot before being converted into a restaurant.

Can I just reconfigure/rehab this location, or am I stuck with trying to sell off a restaurant?

Thanks for the help?
