Quality Home Locator has two commercial units available for rent right now, side by side on West Main Street in the heart of Decatur: 240 Main St and 242 Main St. Both are priced at $1,300 a month, both offer the a similar layout and infrastructure, and both are ready for almost any business that wants visibility on a main corridor without the cost and delay of a full buildout.
Whether you take 240, 242, or you’re weighing both for different concepts, here’s what you’re getting.
An Open Layout That Adapts to Your Business
Each unit has an open-concept floor plan, which means you’re not locked into someone else’s layout before you even move in. Configure the space as a retail shop, a studio, a professional office, a service-based business, or anything in between — the open floor plan gives you the freedom to build out stations, workstations, treatment or consultation areas, or product displays however your business actually needs to run. A convenient half bath is already on-site for staff and customers alike.
Both units previously operated as a hair and nail salon, which left behind a real advantage for the next tenant: multiple water hookups and drains already run throughout the space, along with existing electrical to match. If your business needs plumbing or extra power — a salon, spa, café, cleaning or repair service, or similar — that infrastructure is already in place. And if your business doesn’t need it, the open layout and existing electrical still make for an easy, low-cost buildout for retail, office, or general commercial use.
Storage That Doesn’t Eat Into Your Floor Space
Downstairs, both 240 and 242 include extensive basement storage — room for inventory, supplies, equipment, or files that would otherwise have to live in your front-of-house square footage. That’s usable space you get to keep for customers or staff, instead of giving it up to a back stockroom.
Easy Parking, Right on Main Street
Customers and clients won’t have to hunt for a spot. Both units offer roadside parking out front on Main Street plus additional parking behind the building, so there’s always a convenient place to park whether someone’s stopping in for a quick visit or spending an afternoon in the space.
