Babe’s Smokehouse and Tavern Brings Indio Center to Full Occupancy
Babe’s Smokehouse and Tavern signed a new lease for 2,275 square feet with an additional 850-square-foot patio at Canopy at Citrus, a newly built 25,200-square-foot retail center located at 49730 Jefferson Street in Indio. Founded by Donald Warren Callender of Marie Callender’s restaurant, the restaurant is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The signing of Babe’s Smokehouse and Tavern brings Canopy at Citrus to 100% leased. “Our plan has always been to create a unique experience with Canopy at Citrus where the community is excited about visiting and feels welcomed,” said Bob Lichter of Lichter Equities, developer of the center. “Babe’s Smokehouse and Tavern is the perfect fit and final piece to creating a premier center for the fast growing region.”
JLL’s Brian Quinn represented the landlord Canopy, L.P., in the lease. The center is managed by Reef Real Estate Services.
“The retail industry continues to thrive with record low vacancy and continued demand from established and new restaurants and retailers,” said Quinn. “Premier centers like Canopy at Citrus are benefiting from strong demographics and continued residential growth.”
