Marketing document shows First Watch could be planned for former Bob Evans site on Metcalf

First_Watch_OP

A marketing document assembled for potential tenants for a portion of the currently vacant building at 91st and Metcalf that housed a Bob Evans Restaurant until May 2015 suggests that First Watch may be planning to open a new location on the site.

Information compiled by Colliers International about the site shows a building rendering with signage for First Watch above the main opening. The company is seeking another tenant for the northern portion of the building, with is about 1,600 square feet.

First Watch currently operates a restaurant at 7305 W. 95th Street, within walking distance of the Bob Evans building.

Representatives from Colliers have not responded to an inquiry about a potential timeline for the 91st and Metcalf location. Commercial realtors will often include information about potential tenants they have for a vacant site in marketing materials before the lease is signed provided the parties are far along in negotiations.
