BUFORD, GA. — The Taylor McMinn Retail Group of Marcus & Millichap has brokered the sale of a restaurant in Buford, a northeast suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County.

The out-of-state buyer purchased the restaurant in an all-cash 1031 exchange. “Despite challenges with the higher price point, our team sourced an all-cash, out-of-state, 1031 buyer through our national reach and buyer relationships,” says McMinn. “This is our fifth Whataburger sale in Atlanta, and we have additional Atlanta product for sale.”
