Established 30+ Year Sub Shop Near Major University | Absentee-Run
Riverside, Riverside County, California 92501, United States
Riverside, Riverside County, CA 92501, US
Established 30+ Year Sub Shop Near Major University | Absentee-Run | Growth Opportunity This well-established sub sandwich shop has been serving the community for over 30 years and is located in a high-traffic shopping center near a major university. With hundreds of new apartment units nearing occupancy directly across the street, the business is positioned to benefit from a wave of new nearby residents, students, faculty, and local customers. The current owner purchased the business in late 2024 and has since refreshed the shop, updated operations, added BEER, and improved the menu. The business is fully staffed with an experienced team and is currently operated absentee, making it an attractive opportunity for either an active owner-operator or a small local restaurant group looking to expand. For 2025, tax returns document sales of $335,636 with Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of $54,890. The SDE is supported by only three add-backs: owner auto expense, depreciation, and amortization. POS reports confirm approximately $161,678 in sales from January through June 2026. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing food business with established goodwill, updated operations, and significant nearby growth on the horizon. An active owner could potentially increase profitability by improving local marketing, expanding catering, building university relationships, increasing delivery sales, and capturing demand from the new apartments across the street. The current owner is selling due to personal reasons. The business is ready for a new owner to step in and build upon its long history and strong community presence. Interested buyers must complete an NDA before receiving additional information. Does this sound like a business you can build upon? Contact us today to learn more.

What to know about restaurant and food business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating restaurant and food business acquisitions.
Read the lease like it's the deal
Remaining term, escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a restaurant; a strong concept on a non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.
Pressure-test prime cost — labor plus food
Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.
Confirm licenses and health standing transfer
Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.
Test how much rides on the owner and concept
A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.
Budget for equipment and build-out condition
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buyer questions for this market.
Yes, but they're scrutinized closely because margins are thin and failures common. Verifiable cash flow, a transferable lease, and systems that run without the owner make the difference.
