Patterson-Woods Leases Kirkwood Highway Restaurant; New Concept

Wilmington, DE (April 2, 2019) – Patterson-Woods Commercial Properties/CORFAC International, a leading full-service commercial real estate provider serving the Mid-Atlantic market, today announced the completion of a 7,344 square foot retail lease at 1130 Capitol Trail in Newark, Delaware.

Captain Crab and Seafood, LLC, dba Captain Crab and Seafood, will occupy the free-standing turn-key restaurant space, which is owned by Exponential Growth Real Estate, LLC.  

Patterson-Woods Principal Joseph Latina, together with associate Mary Ann Heesters, represented both the tenant and the landlord in the lease negotiations.  The tenant, Guang Chen, was previously involved with the local Hibachi restaurants. 

Captain Crab and Seafood will showcase a unique approach to hosting and serving as customers will be greeted by robots. The 4-foot robots will be able to show customers to their tables and bring them their meals via built-in shelves. A wait staff will still be required; however, the robots will be used to make the food-to-table process more efficient. 

The restaurant was previously home to popular Soffritto Italian Grill for many years, and more recently the Italian restaurant, Evero. Chen plans to open his restaurant by midsummer.

“We believe Captain Crab and Seafood will bring a new product to this area and will be well-received by the community,” said Latina. “We are very excited about this new concept and it was a pleasure to help Mr. Chen find the perfect space. We wish him much success.”

Latina is a premier restaurant broker in the area. For more business and restaurant opportunities, please visit pattersonwoods.com/main/businesses
