Smart investors know location is everything – and opportunities like this don’t come often!

Positioned on one of Coastal North Carolina’s most traveled corridors, Dale’s Pub offers investors and owner-operators an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly visible commercial property along NC Highway 50–the primary route connecting the mainland to the rapidly growing Topsail Island communities.
Located just minutes from the intersection of NC Highway 50 and US Highway 17, this property enjoys strategic exposure to year-round local traffic, military personnel, contractors, commuters, and the hundreds of thousands of visitors traveling to Surf City and Topsail Island annually. NC Highway 50, also known as Ocean Rd, serves as the southern gateway to Topsail Island and is a designated hurricane evacuation route, making it one of the region’s most important transportation corridors.

The investment story surrounding this location is difficult to ignore. This property has been home of the current thriving Pub for over 2 decades. This enduring success speaks to the strength of the type of establishment, customer loyalty, and the property’s strategic position within one of the area’s most traveled corridors. Holly Ridge has transformed from a small coastal town into one of the fastest-growing communities in Eastern North Carolina. The town’s population increased from approximately 1,268 residents in 2010 to more than 4,100 residents in 2020, representing remarkable growth in a single decade. Continued residential development, commercial expansion, and infrastructure investments are fueling additional demand throughout the Highway 50 corridor showing potential for great success.

Adding to the area’s momentum, Holly Ridge continues to benefit from expanding industrial development at Camp Davis Industrial Park, growing residential communities throughout southern Onslow County, and its proximity to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The result is a diverse customer base that extends far beyond seasonal tourism alone.

For investors, this property represents more than a commercial property, it is a chance to own a recognizable destination in the path of growth. The site’s prime highway frontage, strong visibility, easy ingress and egress, and established presence create opportunities for continued restaurant and entertainment use, redevelopment, or repositioning into another high-demand commercial concept.
