High-Volume Fast-Casual Franchise | $1.5M Sales | Prime Tempe Area
Tempe, Arizona, United States
Tempe, AZ, US
**Turnkey National Franchise Restaurant — Premier Arizona University Corridor | Owner-Operator Opportunity | $299K** This is the kind of restaurant deal that doesn't sit on the market long: a stabilized, fully built-out national franchise concept doing approximately $1.5 million in annual sales, generating ~$162,000 in normalized owner cash flow, priced at just $299,000. The business has been operating since 2017 in a roughly 3,360 SF end-cap restaurant space inside one of the highest-density retail corridors in the East Valley. It sits steps away from a top-tier Arizona university with more than 55,000 enrolled students and 21,000+ on-campus employees, and is surrounded by stadium and arena venues that drive year-round event traffic. The catering channel is already a meaningful contributor to revenue and represents one of the clearest growth levers for an engaged new owner. Why a buyer wins here - Nationally recognized brand with established systems, vendor relationships, and corporate support - Existing $1.5M revenue platform — buyer is not creating demand from zero - Implied 2.3-year SDE payback before debt service - Two five-year renewal options provide long-term occupancy security through 2037 - FF&E and leasehold improvements valued at $460K+ at cost basis — buyer avoids the timeline, capex, and execution risk of building a new location **Buyer requirements:** Restaurant or hospitality experience preferred, ability to qualify with the franchisor, sufficient liquidity to fund working capital and standard transfer fees. Sale contingent on franchisor approval and landlord consent. Strict confidentiality — please do not contact the business or staff. The business is listed by HUB Commercial, an affiliate of Arizona Restaurant Sales. All listing information to be verified by the buyer 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.
