According to a listing on LoopNet, Bar-B-Q King’s location at 2900 Wilkinson Blvd. is posted as “great for new development.”

The building is part of four parcels that are up for sale.

The west Charlotte eatery first opened in 1959 in west Charlotte and joins the growing line-up of “landmark” restaurants in the city over recent years put on the market.

According to the listing, the restaurant has a NNN lease for another 2.9 years and the option for a five-year renewal.

For more than 60 years, it’s been serving up fried chicken, fish, and its signature onion rings.

WBTV’s “On Your Side Tonight with Jamie Boll” recently featured BBQ King in its “Carolina Landmark” series.
