Vacant Wendy’s on Florida sells for $475K

The former Wendy’s restaurant at 10828 Florida Blvd., near the intersection of Sharp Road, has been purchased for $475,000 by 10828 Florida Boulevard LLC, represented by Charles M. Loescher II, a Slidell-based broker, developer and investor. The restaurant has been vacant for some time, and Loescher says he has no immediate plans for the building. He says he purchased the property as an investment and is hoping to land a national tenant for it, adding he’s not exclusively looking for a restaurant tenant. Since closing on the property—which includes just under 1 acre of total land—on July 7, Loescher says he has already received some interest from prospective tenants. The seller was Diamond Land Company LLC, represented by Donald L. Feinstein, who is also board chairman of Stockton, California-based Diamond Food Co. —Diana Pietrogallo
