Park City Burger King on Park Avenue Listed for Lease by Commercial Firm

The building at 1720 Park Avenue that has housed a Burger King for nearly three decades is listed for lease, leaving the fast-food chain's future in Park City uncertain as its contract runs out at the end of 2026.

Legend Commercial listed the 2,860-square-foot property, with marketing materials indicating the space is available starting Dec. 1. No lease rate appears in the listing. Alex DeBry, the listing agent at Legend Commercial, said Burger King's current lease expires at the end of 2026 and that it was not clear whether the chain would sign a new one. Burger King did not respond to an inquiry about the location.

DeBry said the property has attracted broad interest, and he pointed to one feature in particular as a major draw. "The drive-thru is one of the appealing aspects of the property with there being so few in Park City," he said. Marketing materials describe the drive-thru as a "rare" opportunity, a characterization that reflects the reality that most of Park City's fast-food options are clustered at Kimball Junction rather than inside the city proper.

The Park Avenue location sits close to Park City Mountain, Deer Valley Resort and Main Street, and marketing materials show the building in relation to nearby businesses including Fresh Market and Starbucks. That positioning has made the Burger King one of the few quick-service options for skiers, snowboarders and budget-conscious residents who want a fast meal without driving out to Kimball Junction.

The building's restaurant history stretches back to the early 1980s, according to research by the Park City Museum. Burger King first opened at the site in late 1983, then closed in 1987. A hamburger restaurant followed before a Hardee's took over in 1988. Burger King returned to 1720 Park Avenue in 1997 and has occupied the location since.

Whether the chain will hold on past the end of 2026 or give way to a new tenant remains an open question, one that could reshape the limited fast-food landscape inside Park City's boundaries.
