Tex’s Chicken & Burgers, a growing fast-casual restaurant chain, is coming to Commack.
The chain purchased a 1,750-square-foot building on 0.80 acres at 2055A Jericho Turnpike for $3 million. The property is currently leased to Starbucks, which plans to move into a new store under construction next door.
Tex’s Chicken & Burgers plans to renovate the existing building on the site after Starbucks vacates, according to a deal broker. Tex’s has existing Long Island stores in Centerreach, East Islip, Hicksville, Levittown, Selden and Elmont.
The new 2,500-square-foot Starbucks is being built on a 1.07-acre site at 2061 Jericho Turnpike that previously housed a Mattress Firm store, which has now been demolished. The coffee chain’s new Commack location is expected to open by the end of the year or early next year.
Jesse Tufariello of Silber Investment Properties represented the buyer, 2055A Property LLC (Tex’s Chicken & Burgers), and the seller, 2055A Jericho LLC, in the Commack sale transaction.
Russell Helbling of Katz & Associates represented Starbucks and landlord 2061 Jericho LLC self-represented in the Commack lease transaction.
