5300 E Silver Springs Blvd #b, Silver Springs, FL 34488

Rare turnkey restaurant opportunity located in the heart of the Silver Springs/Ocala market, just minutes from Downtown Ocala and Silver Springs State Park. This ±3,000 SF end-cap restaurant space is approved for 125 seats and comes fully equipped — including kitchen equipment, utensils, dishes, and operational essentials needed to move quickly toward opening. Positioned at the northwest corner of Hwy 40 / E Silver Springs Blvd and NE 25th Street, the site benefits from strong visibility and traffic exposure, with Hwy 40 carrying approximately 21,963 AADT. The location provides direct access to the broader Ocala MSA, which exceeds 428,000 residents and has experienced significant growth since 2020. Within a 15-minute drive time, the property reaches more than 104,000 residents, with strong family-style restaurant demand and over $235 million in related food-away-from-home expenditures. More than 75% of the surrounding population has visited a family-style restaurant within the past six months, supporting strong demand for breakfast, lunch, dinner, catering, and family dining concepts. Ocala and Marion County continue to benefit from expanding rooftops, employment growth, tourism, regional traffic, and ongoing commercial development. For a restaurant operator, that means a growing customer base made up of local residents, workers, visitors, and destination traffic moving through one of Central Florida’s most active growth markets. This is a rare turn-key lease opportunity for an experienced operator, expanding brand, or local restaurateur looking to bypass much of the costly buildout process and move quickly toward occupancy and operation.
