The portfolio generated approximately $13.62 million in trailing-12-month revenue,all 12 locations are represented as EBITDA-positive based on the seller’s financial model. The restaurants operate across several established Southern California markets, providing geographic diversification and reducing dependence on any single location. A professional multi-unit operating structure is already in place, making this opportunity well suited for an experienced franchise operator, restaurant group, family office, private equity buyer, or qualified entrepreneur seeking immediate scale. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS: 12 operating franchised quick-service restaurants Approximately $13.62 million in combined annual revenue All locations represented as cash-flow positive Diversified multi-city Southern California footprint Established national franchise brand Existing multi-unit management and operating infrastructure Potential opportunities for operational and margin improvements GROWTH AND EXPANSION: A qualified buyer may have opportunities to improve performance through hands-on management, tighter labor and food-cost controls, localized marketing, catering, digital ordering, delivery optimization, and increased operating efficiencies across the portfolio. "Acquire 12 Operating Restaurants at a Fraction of New-Development Cost" According to the franchisor’s published investment information, developing one new restaurant requires an estimated investment of approximately $1.50 million to $3.32 million. At the midpoint, developing 12 new restaurants could require approximately $28.91 million. This established 12-location portfolio is offered at $5.20 million—approximately $433,333 per operating restaurant. The portfolio generated approximately $13.62 million in trailing-12-month revenue, The acquisition provides an incoming operator with immediate revenue, established locations, existing employees and operating infrastructure while avoiding much of the site-selection, permitting, construction and new-store ramp-up process. Investment figures are based on the franchisor’s currently published estimated range and may vary by site, market, construction conditions and development agreement. Acquisition costs may not include inventory, transfer fees, required remodeling, deferred maintenance, working capital or other closing expenses. All figures are subject to buyer verification and franchisor approval.

Support & Training
Seller transition assistance may be available and will be subject to negotiation. The buyer must satisfy the franchisor’s financial, operational, training, and approval requirements.
Market & Competition
Southern California’s Mexican quick-service market is competitive; however, Del Taco stands apart through its more than 60 years of brand recognition, convenient drive-thru service, value-focused pricing and distinctive menu combining Mexican favorites with burgers, fries and breakfast selections. These 12 established locations offer an incoming buyer immediate market presence, an existing customer base and significant operating scale that would be difficult and costly to duplicate through new development.
Growth Opportunities
A qualified buyer may have opportunities to improve performance through hands-on management, tighter labor and food-cost controls, localized marketing, catering, digital ordering, delivery optimization, and increased operating efficiencies across the portfolio
