In a Long Island retail market where drive-thru-equipped freestanding buildings rarely come available, 472 Medford Avenue in Patchogue represents the kind of opportunity that serious operators and their brokers shouldn’t let pass. A well-located, infrastructure-ready building on a high-traffic signalized corner, with ample parking and a dense, affluent trade area — this property checks boxes that are increasingly hard to find in one place.
The Building
At 2,936 SF with a full basement, the drive-thru is already in place — saving a new operator hundreds of thousands in construction costs and months of permitting. The 0.85-acre lot delivers 60 exclusive parking spaces, 73 feet of Medford Avenue frontage, and J2 zoning that accommodates a broad range of uses.
The Location
The signalized intersection at Medford Avenue and Harris Street carries 25,100 vehicles per day — local trips that convert to repeat customers. Sunrise Highway is just one-third of a mile away, expanding the effective trade area considerably.
The Demographics
Within 3 miles: 82,000 residents, 31,000 households, and a $139K average household income trending upward through 2030. The Wealth Index registers 129–142 — well above the national baseline. ShopRite, Dunkin’, and Subway are already in the corridor, validating the consumer base.
Who Should Be Looking
QSR and coffee franchisees, banks, pharmacies, urgent care operators, and personal service brands — any concept that benefits from a drive-thru, dedicated parking, and a high-traffic corner. The property also carries redevelopment potential for operators who require a ground-up build-to-suit.
The Bottom Line
Drive-thru infrastructure. Signalized corner. 25,000+ VPD. 60 parking spaces. Affluent, stable trade area. Freestanding buildings like this don’t stay available long in Suffolk County.
