Rubio’s Coastal Grill, one of California’s most beloved fast-food chains, recently announced the closure of 48 “underperforming” locations, citing the “rising cost of doing business.” This decision has left many fish taco enthusiasts disappointed and has posed significant challenges for commercial retail property owners, especially in the Los Angeles area (losing 24 locations), San Diego (losing 13 locations), and Northern California (losing 11 locations).

This unfortunate scenario reflects a broader trend in the turbulent commercial real estate landscape. Rising costs, economic fluctuations, and legislative changes, such as the recently passed California Assembly Bill 1228, which raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour, have created precarious situations for property owners. These factors make it increasingly difficult to maintain occupancy and attract new, high-quality tenants.

So, what can you do if your current tenant announces plans to vacate? Omnia Pacific Construction has the answer. Our Turnkey Vacancy Prep and Cleanup Programs are designed to make your property stand out to prospective tenants, ensuring that it remains attractive, functional, and ready for new occupants. Here’s how we can help revitalize your property:

Vanilla Shell

Our Vanilla Shell service is designed to prepare your space for lease by removing all existing equipment, carpets, and furniture. We expertly patch walls and ensure that the space is in pristine, lease-ready condition. This service is essential for creating a blank canvas that allows potential tenants to envision their business in your space.

Vacancy Cleanup

A clean and well-maintained property is crucial for attracting new tenants. Our Vacancy Cleanup service includes thorough sweeping, mopping, sanitizing restrooms, and window washing. We recommend performing this service at least once per month to maintain a sparkling appearance and ensure that your property remains inviting to prospective tenants.

Exterior Storefront Activation

First impressions matter. Our Exterior Storefront Activation service is designed to attract attention and drive foot traffic to your vacant property. We enhance your storefront by smoking out windows and installing eye-catching adhesive window graphics. These visual enhancements quickly draw the interest of potential tenants and customers, making your space more appealing and increasing the likelihood of a quick lease.

Facia Sign Removal

A clean and modern exterior is essential for making your property attractive to new tenants. Our Facia Sign Removal service efficiently removes sign cans and seamlessly patches and paints the facia. This service gives your property a fresh, updated look, enhancing its curb appeal and making it more attractive to potential tenants.
