Profitable High-Volume Vietnamese Restaurant – South OKC
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, United States
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, OK, US
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, high-volume Vietnamese restaurant located in the thriving South Oklahoma City market. Operating successfully for more than 12 years, this well-established restaurant has built a strong reputation for authentic flavors, outstanding customer service, and consistent repeat business from a loyal and diverse customer base. Positioned in a prime, high-traffic corridor, the restaurant operates from a spacious 3,000 sq. ft. facility with seating for 98 guests. The business is fully staffed with an experienced team in place, allowing for a smooth transition for a new owner. This opportunity is ideal for both experienced restaurateurs and growth-minded buyers looking to expand an already successful concept. The restaurant offers tremendous upside potential through menu innovation, fusion cuisine concepts, bar service, catering, and expanded digital ordering platforms. The current ownership has intentionally maintained affordable pricing, with menu prices averaging below comparable competitors in the area—creating immediate opportunities for increased margins and profitability. ________________________________________ Key Highlights • Established and profitable business with 12+ years of operating history • Strong annual sales with verifiable financials • High-volume operation with loyal repeat clientele • Fully staffed with experienced kitchen and front-of-house team • Management willing to remain during transition period • Prime South Oklahoma City location with excellent visibility and traffic • Stand-alone facility with ample seating and operational infrastructure already in place • Attractive opportunity for owner-operators or multi-unit restaurant groups ________________________________________ Significant Growth Opportunities Fusion Cuisine Expansion A new owner could significantly elevate the concept by introducing modern Vietnamese fusion offerings such as Asian street food, Korean-Vietnamese fusion, craft noodle bowls, sushi fusion, upscale pho concepts, boba beverages, or contemporary small plates. The existing customer base and strong traffic create an excellent platform for culinary creativity and brand expansion. Alcohol & Bar Program Currently, the restaurant does not serve alcohol. Adding beer, wine, sake, cocktails, or a full bar program could substantially increase average ticket size and evening traffic. Delivery & Online Ordering Expanding partnerships with delivery platforms such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub presents immediate growth potential in the rapidly growing off-premise dining market. Catering & Corporate Accounts The business is well-positioned to expand into catering, corporate lunches, private events, and community gatherings throughout the Oklahoma City metro area. Menu Optimization & Pricing Strategic menu engineering and modest pricing adjustments aligned with market averages could further improve margins while maintaining strong customer loyalty.

Multi-Location Brewery | High-Growth TN Market | Real Estate Available
Tennessee, United States
TN, US
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established craft brewery and hospitality business with the opportunity to acquire the real estate underlying both operating locations in one of Tennessee’s fastest-growing metropolitan markets. The company has built a strong reputation as a community-centered destination known for exceptional customer experiences, diversified revenue streams, and a loyal customer following. The business operates in two locations and has successfully expanded its footprint while maintaining strong brand recognition and customer engagement. Ownership has invested substantially in real estate, facilities, brewing infrastructure, equipment, and operational systems, creating a turnkey operating platform with significant infrastructure already in place. Unlike many breweries that rely primarily on distribution, this business has developed a hospitality-focused model featuring food service, family-friendly gathering spaces, outdoor amenities, private events, community programming, and direct-to-consumer beverage sales. The result is a diversified revenue model extending well beyond traditional beer distribution. Highlights Include: •Revenue exceeding $5 million annually •Approximately $985,000 in normalized 2025 SDE •Significant revenue growth following expansion to a second location •Two established operating locations with underlying real estate available for acquisition •Diversified revenue streams including taproom, food service, events, beverage sales, distribution, and merchandise •Substantial recent investment in facilities, brewing infrastructure, and equipment •Established management and operational infrastructure •Family-friendly and community-focused brand positioning •Strategic locations within the growing Tennessee markets •Additional growth opportunities through continued development of the newer location, partnerships, distribution, events, and product innovation The company’s most recent expansion represents a substantial investment in its long-term growth platform. With the major buildout and infrastructure investments already completed, a buyer has the opportunity to acquire the operating company together with a significant real estate portfolio supporting its operations. Ownership’s preference is to pursue a combined business and real estate transaction; however, the assets have been structured to allow qualified buyers to evaluate the operating business and individual real estate components independently. This opportunity may be particularly attractive to strategic brewery or hospitality operators, private investment groups, restaurant groups, family offices, or owner-investors seeking both operating cash flow and ownership of the underlying real estate. Additional financial information, property details, and transaction information are available to qualified buyers upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Italian-American Restaurant & Banquet Venue – Hartford County, CT
Capitol County, Connecticut, United States
Capitol County, CT, US
A rare opportunity to acquire a highly regarded, family-run Italian-American restaurant and banquet facility in Hartford County, Connecticut. Owned by the same family for nearly half a century, the business has become a community institution, known for consistent quality and value, with many regulars dining more than once a week. Gross revenue is approximately $1.8 million. THE BUSINESS The menu covers a broad range of Italian and American favorites, with choice-grade meats and sauces and soups made from scratch daily. Monthly prix-fixe specials drive repeat visits, and menu prices sit below the local market, leaving room for measured increases. Banquets and private functions are a second major revenue stream: showers, anniversaries, memorials, small weddings and off-site catering. The floor plan can be divided to host several private parties at once while still serving a la carte guests. Unlike many competitors that require minimum headcounts, this venue welcomes smaller groups, a large and underserved part of the local events market. Key kitchen and bar staff have been in place for 20 to 30 years, and employees handle most day-to-day duties other than event bookings. The retiring owners will provide training for a smooth transition. GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES - Restore lunch service, a strong daypart before 2020 that customers regularly ask for - Open Mondays (currently closed except for booked functions); the seller estimates lunch and Mondays could lift sales 25-30% with most staff already in place - Marketing: minimal current spend, with a website, social media and an established email list to build on - Population growth: substantial new housing, including new neighborhoods and hundreds of apartment units, is under construction in the immediate trade area - Pricing: below-market menu prices FACILITY & REAL ESTATE Freestanding building of approximately 5,800 sq ft on roughly one acre with about 100 parking spaces. Fire occupancy of approximately 270; dining room seats up to 150, plus a bar and lounge seating about 62 and about 15 at the bar. Full cellar, and two residential apartments on the second floor. The real estate is owned free and clear by a seller affiliate and is available to lease (approx. $8,500/month) or purchase TBD. HOW TO REQUEST INFORMATION To protect the business, its employees and its customers, the name and location are released only to qualified buyers who have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Submit an inquiry through this listing and you will receive our NDA and Buyer Profile by email (please check your spam/junk folder). Once both signed documents are received, we will send the full Confidential Information Memorandum. Information provided by the seller is believed to be reliable but is not guaranteed. Buyers should verify all information 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.
