Fresh Craft Grille + Carvel | Restaurant For Sale | 650 Farmington Ave, Bristol CT

Under Contract 4,806 SF dual-concept restaurant building at 650 Farmington Avenue (Rt 6) in Bristol, CT is offered for sale at $1,900,000 by Commercial Connection. The property includes the real estate, the operating businesses, and the equipment for two established concepts under one roof: Fresh Craft Grille and Carvel.

Dual-concept operating profile. The building currently houses two daily-operating restaurants sharing a single kitchen and POS system:

– Fresh Craft Grille. A fresh-ground burger, hand-cut fry, and hand-spun shake concept with hot dogs, gyros, salads, and wraps. Signature menu items include the Mac & Cheese Bacon Burger and the Fireworx Burger (jalapeño, spicy bacon, sriracha). Beef, chicken, and pork are ground daily on premises; fries are cut daily.
– Carvel. National ice cream and custom-cake franchise (founded 1934), operating in-line within the building. Carvel’s in-house ice cream supplies Fresh Craft Grille’s hand-spun shake program and feeds the daily walk-up dessert traffic. Franchise transfer would be subject to Carvel corporate approval, standard for any franchise sale.

Building. 4,806 SF on a 0.84-acre parcel zoned BG / R-10. Full commercial kitchen, dining room, customer counter, drive-up service, walk-in freezer setup for the Carvel side, and on-site parking. Daily hours Sun through Sat 11:30 AM to 9 PM. Single Toast POS captures both concepts.

Location and traffic. Direct frontage on Route 6 (Farmington Avenue), one of Bristol’s strongest retail corners. CTDOT 2024 counts show 22,300 AADT on Route 6 at this segment. The property is adjacent to McDonald’s and directly across the street from the Bristol Plaza retail node anchored by Stop & Shop, TJ Maxx, Ocean State Job Lot, and Burlington. AutoZone, the Bristol Boys & Girls Club, and the Bristol Housing Authority anchor surrounding blocks.

Market. Bristol 06010 covers a citywide population of approximately 60,000. Trade-area density: 10,289 within 1 mile, 64,919 within 3 miles, 109,382 within 5 miles. Average household income climbs from $79,360 (1 mi) to $85,296 (3 mi) to $92,137 (5 mi). The 1-mile trade area encompasses 4,353 households; the 3-mile shed pulls 27,068 households, supporting strong dine-out and family-occasion ice-cream spending.

Use fit. Continue operating both concepts (real estate + two revenue streams), retain Carvel and rebrand the burger side, or convert to a single-concept restaurant with the kitchen and FF&E already in place. Adjacency to McDonald’s plus the Stop & Shop anchored plaza supplies consistent QSR-adjacent cross-traffic.

15,040 SF Industrial for Sale | I-84 Exit 32, Southington CT

A 15,040 SF industrial / warehouse building at 213 Spring Street in Southington, CT is offered for sale at $1,350,000 by Commercial Connection. The 2.52-acre property sits at I-84 Exit 32 with direct frontage on Spring Street, one of central Connecticut’s strongest industrial logistics positions.

Highway access. I-84 Exit 32 (Queen Street / Rt 10) is adjacent to the property, with the exit ramp visible from the parcel. I-84 carries roughly 100,000 vehicles per day at this segment, connecting the property to Hartford (20 minutes NE), Waterbury (15 minutes W), New Britain (10 minutes E), and Plainville’s Connecticut Commons retail corridor (10 minutes NE). Direct ramp access supports same-day distribution, contractor, and trade-area service operations across central Connecticut.

Building configuration. 15,040 SF in three sections:

– 6,000 SF front section: office and lab space with multiple private offices, finished hallway, lobby, restrooms, and conference rooms. Move-in ready professional finish.
– 3,000 SF middle warehouse: 14’6″ ceiling clear height, open floorplate, suited for assembly, light manufacturing, or staging.
– 6,000 SF back warehouse: 15′ to 17′ ceiling clear height, heavy-bay area originally built for press and production equipment. Pallet racking is in place.

Infrastructure. 800-amp three-phase electric service, well beyond typical small-industrial buildings, originally specified for newspaper press equipment. Covered loading dock plus drive-in capability. Extra-thick warehouse floor poured to support machinery loads. HVAC units installed throughout both warehouse sections. The building was constructed in 1970 and is in well-maintained, move-in-ready condition.

Site. 2.52 acres zoned I-1 (Industrial) with ample on-site parking and yard area. Carlton Road borders one side; Spring Street fronts the property. The Stop & Shop pad site sits immediately adjacent, with the Pilgrim Furniture, Holiday Inn Express Southington, Crystal Bees, and Denny’s retail and hospitality cluster along the I-84 / Queen Street commercial corridor.

Market. Southington 06489 covers a population of approximately 43,000, a middle-income Hartford-metro suburb with a mature industrial base anchored by ESPN (Bristol), Stanley Black & Decker (New Britain), and the broader Hartford-metro supply chain. Sub-20,000 SF industrial product with heavy three-phase power, dock-and-drive-in loading, and direct I-84 ramp access is rare in central Connecticut.

Use fit. Light manufacturing, distribution, printing or production, contractor with yard, fabrication, food production, flex / warehouse, or owner-occupier needing combined office and high-bay space. Pallet racking in place lowers tenant build-out cost.
