Operated by Brohon, Inc., an experienced Chicken Express franchisee with more than 23 years of operating history, the property benefits from strong historical store performance and a favorable rent-to-sales profile.

  • Secure Long-Term Lease: New 15-year Absolute Triple Net (NNN) sale-leaseback with no landlord responsibilities, providing passive ownership and predictable long-term income.
  • Built-In Inflation Protection: Structured rent escalations of 10% every 5 years ensure strong long-term income growth.
  • Experienced Multi-Unit Operator: Operated by Brohon, Inc., an experienced Chicken Express franchisee with more than 23 years of operating history within the brand.
  • Rent Set to Store-Level Performance: Rent was underwritten against actual unit-level operating results rather than set to maximize sale proceeds, producing a rent basis a buyer can underwrite and an operator can carry for the full term. The store-level financial details are available to qualified buyers upon execution of an NDA.
  • Northwest Fort Worth Trade Area: ~62,920 residents live within 3 miles of the property and 128,668 within 5 miles, with an average household income of ~$121,500 within 3 miles.
  • Located in One of Texas’ Fast-Growth School Districts: The property sits within Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD, a fast-growth district serving more than 24,000 students across 31 campuses in northwest Tarrant County, with enrollment growth driven by continued new-home construction. Family density of this kind is a direct driver of quick-service restaurant demand.
  • Walmart-Anchored Retail Node: The property is positioned within the Bailey Boswell Marketplace trade area, a Walmart Supercenter-anchored retail destination that generates recurring daily-needs traffic along the Boat Club Road corridor.
  • Modern, Purpose-Built QSR Construction: Built in 2016, the restaurant offers a relatively modern physical plant on ~0.83 acres with a purpose-built drive-thru configuration, signage, and 43 parking spaces.
  • Continued Residential Growth: The 3- and 5-mile populations are each projected to grow ~7% through 2030, with household formation tracking at a similar pace.
  • $29 Million Bailey Boswell Corridor Rebuild: Fort Worth is investing $29 million to rebuild West Bailey Boswell Road from Boat Club Road to Wind River Drive, converting the existing 4-lane undivided roadway into 4 11-foot lanes with a landscaped median, turn lanes, traffic signals, drainage, and shared-use paths. Completion of the project is expected in 2028.
  • $27.3 Million WJ Boaz Road Widening: Fort Worth is widening WJ Boaz Road to 4 lanes beginning at Boat Club Road, with new pavement, drainage, traffic signals, streetlights, and utility upgrades. Funding includes $12.3 million from Fort Worth’s 2022 bond program and $10.7 million from Tarrant County’s 2021 transportation bond. Utility relocation is underway, with construction beginning in 2027 and completion targeted for spring 2029.
  • Exposure to One of America’s Largest Growth Cities: Fort Worth’s population reached ~1.03 million in 2025, nearly 12% growth from its 2020 base, continuing to expand the consumer and employment base across northwest Tarrant County.
