2619 1/2 Cherokee

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Welcome to one of the smallest storefronts in St. Louis! Available for the first time since 2018, the space was formerly the home of Little Dipper, Teatopia, and Burger 809. 2619 ½ Cherokee Street is just 300 square feet – roughly 6 feet wide and 50 feet long. Despite its small size, this space provides a long list of features including exposed brick along the east wall, refinished hardwood floors, a dedicated bathroom, and dimmable lighting. While the kitchen buildout has ben removed, this storefront would be the perfect plug-and-play space for a new or expanding retail concept.

2619 1/2 Cherokee is located on the first block west of Jefferson, offering high visibility and commutability in one of the densest neighborhoods in the City of St. Louis – Gravois Park. Experience the best of South City in a growing community; surrounding businesses and amenities generate a ton of foot traffic, and events and festivals keep the street vibrant and active year-round. Within this block alone are a number of shops and restaurants including Carrillo Western Wear, Mesa Home, Nebula, The Fattened Caf, K-Bop, Saint Louis Hop Shop, Brandin Vaughn Collection, STL Virtuoso Collective, City Mouse Vintage, Restyled by Izzy, and Butter Love Skin. Walk another few feet to the next block east or west and find more, such as The Fortune Teller Bar, Clements Lock & Security, Bridge Bread Bakery, Elaine’s Sandwiches, Profield Reserve, Ruby Francis, The Whiskey Ring, Infinite Spin Records, and Swade Dispensary, to name a few.

We encourage and give preference to small, independently-owned businesses that cater to a wide range of demographics and will contribute to the eclectic mix of existing small businesses in the area. We don’t rent to predatory businesses such as rent-to-own or payday lending stores that prey upon low-income populations. Additionally, we discourage the use of first-floor storefronts in commercial corridors for service-oriented or office-type businesses, which are better suited to side streets or second-floor office spaces as they do not benefit from or contribute to an increase in foot traffic that is vital to retail and restaurant businesses.

Price is $695/month for rent. Water & sewer charge for retail use is $70/mo, and internet is available in the building for $50/mo. Tenant is responsible for arranging their own trash service. This is an all-electric unit, and tenant pays for electric service directly to the utility provider (Ameren). Security deposit is equal to one month’s rent subject to credit and application approval. The advertised rental rate reflects a $75/mo discount for paying rent via ACH / wire transfer on the first of the month.
