The layout provides opportunities for both customer-facing space and storage, making it adaptable to a wide range of businesses. The exterior is just as impressive, featuring beautifully crafted brick patios made from reclaimed bricks from an old Pontiac roadway, a stunning flagstone walkway, concrete pad, carport, multiple storage sheds, and additional outdoor space.

Whether you're envisioning a specialty shop, retail store, showroom, creative space, office, or something completely different, this property offers a great foundation for your next venture. And for those looking for an even more turnkey opportunity, the current business, Pop's Pop Up Shop, could also be available for purchase. The established business has become a recognizable Pontiac destination featuring antiques, Route 66 memorabilia, unique collectibles, custom pieces, furniture, and more. A buyer could choose to purchase the building only and bring their own vision, or explore the possibility of acquiring the established business as well. A unique property. Endless possibilities.
