1836 E 2nd St
Defiance, OH 43512

Located in the Kroger Shopping Plaza, this retail property offers outstanding visibility along a key east-west corridor with strong traffic counts. The 23,000 SF former Carpet Mart building is surrounded by leading retailers, including Kroger, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and multiple national quick-service restaurants such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Wendy’s.

The site benefits from its position in Defiance, Ohio, a central trade hub for the region. Defiance serves as the county seat and an economic center for northwest Ohio between Toledo and Fort Wayne, offering easy access to major highways such as U.S. Route 24 and State Routes 18 and 15, which connect to regional markets. The area is home to large manufacturers and ongoing industrial investment, including First Quality Paper’s nearly $1 billion new facility, two major health system campuses, and a four-year college.

This property is ideal for businesses looking for a well-located retail presence with excellent visibility, convenient access, and adjacency to strong co-tenancy in a growing commercial corridor.
