Founded by an elite, internationally credentialed executive chef and built around a simple thesis: pair real culinary craft with industrial manufacturing discipline, the Company wins contracts that pure-play manufacturers can't touch on flavor, and pure-play chefs can't touch on scale. Leadership has stayed remarkably stable, with the senior team averaging well over a decade of tenure and indicating a willingness to remain through and beyond a transition.

Liquor Store with Deli Approx. $180,000 Net Income This is an outstanding opportunity to own a well-established, profitable liquor store with a deli, located in a busy neighborhood shopping center with excellent visibility and steady customer traffic. The business enjoys a loyal customer base and offers significant upside for an owner-operator. According to the seller, the store generates approximately $80,000 in monthly gross sales, including approximately $15,000 per month in Lottery sales. One of the biggest advantages of this business is its very low rent of only $3,100 per month, helping maximize profitability. The store is open daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM and is currently operated with only two part-time employees. An owner-operator can expect to earn approximately $15,000 per month in net income while also having the opportunity to further increase sales through expanded deli offerings, additional product lines, and hands-on management. The lease offers excellent long-term security with 4 years remaining, plus two additional 5-year renewal options, providing stability for years to come.

Move-In Ready Step into a fully operational, professionally equipped kitchen and bistro space — no buildout required, no permits to pull. With over $50,000 in food-grade equipment already in place, this is a rare low-barrier entry point into one of California's most food-forward markets. The Space At 1,750 sq. ft., the layout supports both retail front-of-house service and high-volume back-of-house production simultaneously. The kitchen is built for serious output: a three-burner Chinese range, two stock ranges, a four-burner range, deep fryer, full walk-in cooler, three freezers (including a 3-door unit), refrigerated prep table, ice maker, and both a drink and wine fridge. Everything is in place for day-one operations. The Opportunity The current owners used this space for food production and are relocating to a larger facility — the business is available because they've outgrown it, not because of performance issues. That leaves the door open for: - A café or specialty coffee concept (neighboring deli drives consistent daily foot traffic) - A ghost kitchen or delivery-first brand (ideal kitchen infrastructure, parking on-site) - A catering or meal prep operation (high-capacity equipment, flexible layout) - A new restaurant concept with immediate dine-in or to-go capability Location & Lease Positioned next to a high-traffic deli in a desirable Alameda County corridor, the space benefits from built-in customer flow and convenient on-site parking — a genuine competitive advantage in this market. A favorable lease is in place at $5,964/month; lease terms available upon inquiry. The Ask $50,000 — representing the full value of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Cash offers preferred. Inquire for full details including lease length and to schedule a walk-through.

A turnkey Mediterranean grocery and specialty-food market that locals seek out — known for its in-house butcher counter and the imported staples the big chains don't carry. Years of word of mouth have built a loyal, repeat following, with no advertising or website behind it. It's a simple business to step into: a single owner with one part-time helper and low fixed costs. Because the included equipment and inventory cover most of the price, a buyer is paying for an established, profitable operation — not goodwill alone. The owner is retiring and will help the next owner get up to speed.

NAIC Code: 722310 – Food Service Contractor Operating since 2016, this highly successful and profitable business has grown consistently every year The company prepares and delivers nutritious, balanced, USDA-compliant meals … healthy meals that kids like and actually eat!

The company is one of just a few lunch vendors on Oahu, and private school enrollment continues to grow. In addition, new preschools are starting up due to recent legislative action. Financial Data: 75% of revenue comes from parents paying for lunches in advance for the month or semester; the other 25% comes from schools that pay directly for students’ lunches (billed at end of month, net 30).

The business (not the corporation) is being offered for an initial asking price of $999,000 (subject to increase if certain new business opportunities materialize in the summer of 2026). This includes all assets, tangible and intangible (including but not limited to FF&E, name, website, customer relationships, etc.), except it does not include cash, accounts receivable, or accounts payable*.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating food manufacturing acquisitions.
Determine whether the business owns brands or manufactures for others. A branded maker controls its margins, its shelf relationships, and its marketing risk; a co-packer or private-label manufacturer trades brand risk for customer-concentration risk. These are different valuation problems, and the median earnings near 140,000 mean little until you know which model generates it.
Verify food-safety registration, certifications, and inspection history first. Food manufacturers operate under federal and state food-safety regimes, and many customers require specific third-party certifications. A lapse or recall history is both a liability and a barrier to keeping the customers who depend on the certification.
Get revenue by customer and by channel before trusting the top line. A co-packer with one anchor customer or a brand dependent on a single retailer is fragile; diversified channels are more durable. With a revenue base near 920,000, the concentration profile, not the revenue figure, tells you how risky the earnings are.
Assess production capacity and whether the facility can grow with you. Roughly 18 percent of these businesses own their real estate, and processing equipment is both valuable and specialized. Understand current utilization, the cost to add capacity, and whether the facility is the constraint on growth.
Model the working capital tied up in ingredients, inventory, and shelf life. Food businesses carry perishable inputs, inventory cycles, and sometimes seasonal demand, all of which lock up cash. Understand spoilage, shrink, and the cash conversion cycle, and size the working capital you must fund.
Use the moderate seller-financing norm to bridge transition risk. About 18 percent of these sellers advertise financing, which gives room to structure a note or earnout that keeps the seller engaged through recipe transfer, customer introductions, and certification continuity.
