Turnkey restaurant opportunity in the heart of downtown Rahway just one block from the NJ Transit rail station, one of the state's busiest, delivering a steady flow of commuters, theatergoers, and residents right to your door. This 2,532 SF multi-story storefront conveys with a premium Bonnet Maestro professional French cooking suite the chef-grade centerpiece found in Michelin-caliber kitchens so you skip the costly build-out and open day one. Enjoy an outdoor patio perfect for al fresco dining that expands your seating and draws sidewalk traffic. Zoned CBD-1 within the Central Business District Redevelopment Plan, the property permits full-service, liquor-licensed dining, and reuse of the existing building requires NO off-street parking, with public lots and on-street parking serving your guests. The multi-story layout unlocks real upside: use the upper floors for private dining, event space, offices, or income-producing apartments. Set on a walkable, high-visibility block with strong daytime and evening foot traffic, steps from the Union County Performing Arts Center and the vibrant Rahway Arts District. Character-rich building (circa 1900) in a thriving, transit-oriented downtown on the rise. A rare turnkey restaurant offering in one of Union County's most dynamic dining scenes bring your concept and get cooking. Liquor license not included; buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses, included equipment, and square footage.
