Profitable East Tucson Sports Bar & Grill — $1.4M Sales, $151K SDE
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, United States
Tucson, Pima County, AZ, US
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. Full financial package — P&Ls, balance sheets, POS exports, lease file, and tax returns as completed — available under NDA. 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.

Turnkey Artisan Cheese Shop + Tasting Lounge | Affluent NE Phoenix
Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, United States
Phoenix, Maricopa County, AZ, US
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. Do not contact staff or visit unannounced - all inquiries through the listing broker: Bret Collins, Arizona Restaurant Sales (a HUB AZ Brokers company), 602-300-0006, [email protected].

Turnkey Restaurant, Bar & Hookah Lounge — Below-Market Rent
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
Phoenix, AZ, US
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.

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.
