Takosushi opening second Columbia location in Forest Park Shopping Center

Colliers | South Carolina’s Rox Pollard, Danny Bonds and John Gressette represented the landlord, Forest Park LLC, in the lease of ±2,400 square feet at Forest Park Shopping Center to Takosushi.

Takosushi is a unique restaurant serving eastern Asia and southwestern United States-inspired cuisine. Forest Park will be Takosushi’s eighth location across Georgia and South Carolina and the second location in Columbia.

“We are excited to be a part of the Forest Acres community. Whether you are looking for a light lunch, a place to grab a drink or a hearty dinner, we feel that TakoSushi has something for everyone. Being headquartered here in the Midlands, this location is especially important to us,” said James Williams, co-owner of Takosushi.

Forest Park Shopping Center is one of Columbia’s most attractive neighborhood shopping centers. Located in the heart of Forest Acres, Forest Park offers excellent access to the stable and affluent Forest Acres market. The 90,000-square-foot center’s tenants include Lowes Foods, Eggs Up Grill, CVS and UPS Store, along with an attractive mix of local and regional boutique retailers and national brands. This center is adjacent to the mixed-use development on the former Cardinal Newman School site, Cardinal Crossing, consisting of 256 apartments, complemented by ±42,000 square feet of commercial space including ground-level shops fronting Forest Drive.

“Takosushi will be a welcome addition to Forest Park and all of Forest Acres with its excellent cuisine, top-notch service, outdoor seating and fun atmosphere,” said Pollard. “The space, formerly occupied by Baskin Robbins, will be completely renovated which keeps with the landlord’s commitment to keeping Forest Park a highly important amenity to the Forest Acres community.”

Pollard is a Vice President and Director of Retail Services at Colliers specializing in the sale, leasing and development consultation of retail properties across the state. Bonds is a Senior Brokerage Associate specializing in the leasing of neighborhood shopping centers and Gressette is a Brokerage Associate working with tenants, landlords, sellers and purchasers to lease, purchase and sell retail properties of all sizes.
