Self-Serve, Low Chef Dependency, Established Branding This established AYCE buffet restaurant in Los Angeles County presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly recognizable dining concept with strong historical performance, substantial included assets, a proven self-service operating model, light liquor license, and meaningful recovery and growth potential under new ownership. The seller has made a major price adjustment to reflect the current 2026 operating environment, reduced operating days/hours, and market conditions. Recent sales are below prior peak performance, but the restaurant remains an established operating platform with valuable infrastructure, trained staff, brand recognition, customer loyalty, and clear upside for an experienced operator. Over the years, this approximately 6,500 SF restaurant has built a loyal customer base and strong local following. It has become a destination-style dining location where families, friends, and repeat guests gather for value, variety, and experience. The concept is supported by 4,000+ combined Google and Yelp reviews, approximately 70,000+ combined social media followers, and established local market presence. A major strength is its self-serve buffet format. Compared with many chef-driven or full-service concepts, this model lowers dependency on specialty chefs, requires fewer front-of-house staff, supports standardized kitchen preparation, and relies on repeatable workflows. This structure may provide a qualified buyer with flexibility in staffing, training, menu execution, and scalability. The current owner is not involved in regular day-to-day management, demonstrating the strength of the trained team and operating systems in place. A new owner can step into a business with existing infrastructure, recognizable branding, and a model built around repeatable execution rather than constant owner oversight. The lease is approximately $12,000 per month and runs through 2031, subject to landlord approval and lease assignment. The sale includes substantial furniture, fixtures, equipment, and kitchen infrastructure, with seller-estimated fixed asset and equipment value of approximately $1M, including commercial refrigeration, buffet line and holding equipment, kitchen/prep equipment, POS systems, furniture, fixtures, improvements, and related operational assets. The business also has a light liquor license, subject to applicable regulatory approval and transfer requirements. This may provide additional revenue opportunities through permitted alcoholic beverage sales and can enhance the dining experience for group dining, celebrations, private events, and dinner service. Growth opportunities may include restoring additional operating days/hours, reintroducing select service periods if appropriate, expanding takeout, developing party tray and catering programs, increasing private event sales, improving local marketing and social media conversion, increasing permitted beverage sales, enhancing operational efficiency, and potentially replicating the concept into additional locations. For the right buyer, this is an opportunity to acquire more than a restaurant. It is an established AYCE buffet platform with customer loyalty, brand recognition, trained staff, operating systems, valuable hard assets, liquor license upside, and meaningful potential from operational recovery and future growth initiatives. Assets included: *Kitchen/prep equipment *Commercial refrigeration/cold storage, *Buffet line and holding equipment, * POS and operating systems, *Furniture, fixtures and improvements, *Brand-related assets, *Social media accounts and related digital presence, * Light liquor license subject to transfer approval, *Other operational assets used in the business. Detailed financial information, business name, address, photos, and operational details will only be released to qualified buyers after NDA, seller approval, and proof of funds or financing capability.

5-Year #1 in CA – Estab. 2013 -Underperforming Absentee =Margin Opp Buyer Process : NDA + basic proof of funds required prior to release of name, address, and financials. Landlord and franchisor approvals will require full financial qualification. This is not a startup—it’s a proven, top-performing Texas-style BBQ franchise in Eastvale, CA that has slipped under absentee ownership and is now priced to reflect that opportunity. ±1,980 SF location. Operating under current ownership for 6 years, with brand presence at this site since 2013. Starting during the Covid pandemic - five consecutive years, this was the highest-grossing franchised location for the brand in California. The business is currently absentee-run with two full-time co-managers covering 70–80 hours/week ($22/hr) and five part-time staff ($20/hr). Operations are stable, but the lack of hands-on ownership over the past couple of years has capped performance—this is where the opportunity is. A working owner or family-run operation can realistically tighten labor, increase oversight, and push this back toward its prior peak performance. Why This Deal Makes Sense: Proven #1 revenue unit in California (5 years straight) Established franchise location since 2013 Fully built-out ±1,980 SF—no heavy lift required Stable team in place with management coverage Clear operational inefficiencies = immediate margin upside Clean handoff for operator, family, or multi-unit buyer Important Notes: Price excludes franchisor transfer fee, required HQ training, and lease assignment costs Buyer must qualify with franchisor and landlord Potential E-2 visa opportunity (buyer to verify with counsel) Ideal Buyer: This is built for someone who will actually show up—owner-operator, family-run setup, or franchisee expanding footprint. Passive investors will leave money on the table here. Priced to reflect current absentee performance—not historical peak. Seller is realistic and prepared to transact with a qualified buyer, but not interested in renegotiation after diligence. If you’ve been waiting for a real operator play—not a dressed-up listing—this is it. The upside is obvious, but it won’t sit. Ad#:2486234
