Turnkey Artisan Cheese Shop + Tasting Lounge | Affluent NE Phoenix
One-of-a-kind specialty food opportunity: per the sellers, the only dedicated cut-to-order artisan cheese shop in Phoenix, operating since 2022 in one of the Valley's most affluent trade areas. The shop pairs a curated cut-to-order cheese counter with specialty grocery, gifts, prepared foods, and charcuterie, supported by a commercial prep kitchen and a beautifully finished, design-forward retail build-out (approximately $107,000 in leasehold improvements). THE NUMBERS FY2025 revenue of $394,382 per books (FY2023: $350,617; FY2024: $383,104) FY2025 seller's discretionary earnings of $53,610 as reported Register-verified core: roughly 8,000 transactions per year at a ~$40 average ticket, three years running 2023 books tie to the filed tax return to the dollar THE PLATFORM Lease in place through 2028 at a sustainable ~6.8% occupancy cost Adjacent furnished suite already branded and staged as a tasting lounge - a built-in second revenue engine for classes, private events, and pairings 1,800+ newsletter subscribers, 5,000+ social followers, subscription cheese club launched 2026, established classes and events program Online ordering and delivery live on Toast POS THE UPSIDE The shop currently trades only five days a week - Saturday alone delivers roughly 36% of weekly sales, and Sunday/Monday remain dark. Opening Sunday at even half of Saturday's rate adds an estimated $45K-$60K in annualized revenue. Add the lounge activation, a beer and wine license for pairings, cheese club growth, and corporate gifting, and this is a platform priced below the cost of its own build-out with clear room to run. THE TRADE AREA Roughly 223,000 residents across the six-ZIP trade area, with the Town of Paradise Valley (median household income ~$160K) and the Scottsdale border ZIPs closest to the store. Sellers are relocating out of state and will provide training and full vendor/recipe introductions. Offered at $149,000 plus inventory at cost. Detailed financials, POS reports, lease file, and site visits available to qualified buyers under NDA.

Profitable East Tucson Sports Bar & Grill — $1.4M Sales, $151K SDE
Profitable, fully built-out restaurant & sports bar in a high-traffic East Tucson trade area — offered confidentially at $375,000 plus inventory at cost, a fully operating business transferred free and clear of any debts. THE NUMBERS (register-verified) FY2025 revenue per books: $1.43M with $150,849 in seller's discretionary earnings — the company's best margin year Four-year POS-documented sales history across two independent systems, including a $1.55M record year in 2024 with ~76,000 guest visits 29.8% combined food & beverage cost and 7.7% occupancy cost in FY2025 — a cost structure already tuned Average guest spend up ~25% since 2023 with traffic retained THE OPERATION A 4,555 SF full-service concept: scratch kitchen under hood, full liquor bar with a 20+ handle draft system and dedicated keg room, performance stage for live entertainment, pool tables, and TVs throughout. Service runs lunch through late night, seven days — a daypart spread few independent competitors match. A ~13-person team including shift management runs the floor; the owner is not tied to a station, and an owner-operator can expand margins immediately. THE LEASE Below-market rent (~$2.00/SF/month all-in, 7.7% of revenue) with committed term to mid-2032 plus a ten-year renewal option — roughly 15 years of site control on one of the city's primary east-west corridors. Replicating this build-out today would cost several times the asking price before serving a single guest. THE UPSIDE FY2025 results were achieved with essentially zero marketing spend ($500 vs. $24.8K the prior year). Growth levers already in place: restore demand marketing, adopt an owner-operator labor model (labor ran 40% vs. a 32-34% benchmark — an $85K-$115K opportunity at current volume), reclaim the proven $1.55M sales peak, and program the stage, game-day, and catering calendar. Dense trade area of ~209,000 residents across six ZIP codes, with a major university, a large military base and retiree population, and winter-visitor traffic supporting the market. THE DEAL Clean asset sale: assets, brand, and lease assignment convey free and clear; seller retires all entity obligations at closing through escrow with customary clearances. Arizona's non-quota restaurant liquor license lets a qualified buyer operate from day one under an interim permit. Inventory counted and purchased at cost. Training and transition support included. SBA-financeable for qualified buyers. Contact the exclusive broker to execute a confidentiality agreement and receive the Confidential Business Summary. Please do not visit the premises unannounced or contact staff. The business is listed by HUB AZ Brokers (ADRE #LC688931000), an affiliate of Sunbelt Business Brokers of Phoenix.

Turnkey Restaurant, Bar & Hookah Lounge — Below-Market Rent
Here's a draft — roughly 2,900 characters, so it fits with room to spare: Turnkey Restaurant, Bar & Hookah Lounge — Below-Market Rent Here is a rare opportunity to take over a fully built-out, approximately 3,000 square-foot restaurant, bar, and hookah lounge in a high-traffic North Phoenix retail corridor. This is a turnkey asset sale: everything needed to operate is in place, permitted, and working. Walk in and run your concept from day one — no build-out costs, no construction timeline, no permitting risk. The space was extensively built out for full-service dining and entertainment. The commercial kitchen includes a hood and fire-suppression system, fryer, flat grill, char broiler, gyro machines, refrigeration, freezer, and prep line. The front of house seats 120+ with 34 tables, a full bar with coolers, ice machines, and glassware, a performance stage with sound, video, and lighting systems, and an established hookah program with 40 hookahs and full accessories. Outside, an equipped patio features a wood grill, fireplace, and heaters — ideal for Arizona evenings. A comparable build-out from shell condition would typically cost several times the asking price. The lease is a standout: approximately $15 per square foot per year in a corridor where comparable space asks considerably more. That below-market rent gives an incoming operator a real, recurring cost advantage worth thousands per year and makes this location viable across a wide range of concepts — keep the current Mediterranean dining and lounge format, or bring your own vision to a space already suited for dining, nightlife, private events, and live entertainment. The business currently operates only four days per week under an owner with other commitments, leaving obvious upside for a full-time operator: expanded hours, a seven-day schedule, event bookings, catering, and marketing are all untapped. Alcohol is served under an Arizona Series 12 restaurant license classification (buyer to obtain its own license; interim permits are available for continuity at closing). The current ownership acquired the business through a clean, escrow-closed transaction with clear title to all conveyed assets. This is priced and sold as an asset sale — the value is in the complete physical package, the lease, and the location, not in the limited operating history of a young business. Serious inquiries only. A signed NDA and proof of funds are required before the location, financial detail, lease terms, or equipment list are released. All information is provided by the seller; buyers must verify all facts, figures, lease terms, and licensing requirements during due diligence. The business is listed by HUB AZ Brokers (ADRE #LC688931000), an affiliate of Sunbelt Business Brokers of Phoenix. All listing and financial information to be verified by the buyer during due diligence.

Award-Winning, Top-Rated Phoenix Sushi Bar — $565K Sales
An exceptional opportunity to acquire an award-winning independent sushi restaurant, one of the most highly regarded in the Phoenix market — a nine-year, owner-operated Japanese restaurant and sushi bar with four consecutive years of revenue growth, margins well above industry norms, and a long-term lease secured through March 2033. THE NUMBERS Trailing-twelve-month revenue of $565,727 with seller's discretionary earnings of $139,120 — a 24.6% earnings margin, versus roughly 16% for the typical full-service restaurant. Sales have grown every single year since 2022, more than tripling over that period, and the growth is coming from rising guest counts rather than price increases. Revenue quality is exceptional: 99.4% of sales run through credit cards and tie directly to point-of-sale reports and filed tax returns, making this one of the most verifiable — and most financeable — books a restaurant buyer will find. Offered at $259,000, approximately 1.86x earnings. THE REPUTATION A 4.7-star Google rating across approximately 350 reviews, multiple honors from a major Phoenix publication, and a loyal base of repeat guests supporting a $96 average check. Remarkably, this performance has been achieved with essentially zero advertising — under $250 spent last year — leaving an obvious, untapped growth lever for a new owner. THE FACILITY & LEASE An efficient, approximately 1,000 sq. ft. suite featuring a 20-seat sushi bar plus patio dining for six to eight tables, with a fully equipped kitchen. The lease runs through March 31, 2033 with fixed 3% annual escalations, and total occupancy cost is just 8.2% of sales — a ratio that improves every year sales grow. The restaurant sits in a high-visibility neighborhood shopping center on a corridor carrying 41,000+ vehicles per day, in an affluent trade area with average household incomes above $150,000 within three miles — and where geography physically limits new restaurant competition. Two major independent sushi competitors nearby have closed, strengthening this restaurant's position as the area's quality leader. THE TEAM & TRANSITION A staff of nine is in place, including three sushi chefs and servers with tenures of up to seven years. The seller is committed to a smooth handoff and will provide training and transition support, including recipes, premium supplier relationships (fish sourced from Japan), and day-to-day operating systems. An Arizona Series 12 restaurant liquor license is in place. Sushi experience is a plus but not required for a buyer who retains the existing team. THE OPPORTUNITY Current ownership has built the fundamentals while leaving clear upside: real marketing for the first time, catering and private events, delivery platform expansion, and extended hours. A buyer who simply continues current operations acquires a growing, verifiable six-figure earnings stream; a buyer who invests in growth inherits a proven concept with room to run. Serious inquiries only. Contact the broker to execute a confidentiality agreement and receive the full confidential business summary, including financial statements, lease documents, and equipment list. Proof of financial capability may be requested. The business name and exact location are withheld to protect the seller, staff, and ongoing operations.
