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.

High-Cash-Flow Bagel Store (Established 1999)
Massapequa, Nassau County, New York 11762-3803, United States
Massapequa, Nassau County, NY 11762-3803, US
The Opportunity For sale is a highly profitable, landmark bagel store and deli that has truly stood the test of time. Established in 1999, this premier establishment has enjoyed over 25 consecutive years of robust cash flow and financial stability, proving itself to be completely recession-proof through every economic cycle. Whether you are an industry veteran looking to expand your portfolio or an aspiring entrepreneur seeking a bulletproof, turnkey first location, this business offers an unbeatably secure foundation for immediate wealth generation. A Neighborhood Staple with Unmatched Brand Loyalty This is not just a food business; it is the heartbeat of the surrounding community. For nearly three decades, the neighborhood has implicitly relied on this establishment for its daily morning routines, family weekend breakfasts, and corporate events. The multi-generational goodwill, flawless local reputation, and fiercely loyal customer base ensure that the business generates high-volume, predictable revenue from day one. The shop occupies a highly visible, strategic retail footprint with excellent foot traffic, convenient parking, and a favorable long-term lease already secured. Turnkey Infrastructure & Operations The physical plant is fully equipped and meticulously maintained, featuring industrial-grade baking infrastructure, kettle-boiling setups, high-capacity ovens, and modern POS tracking systems. The business yields impressive, highly stable baseline retail sales under its current model. While a new owner can easily step in and simply maintain the highly profitable status quo, standard avenues for further expansion remain available, such as exploring local catering opportunities, increasing third-party delivery visibility, or expanding wholesale accounts. Seamless Transition & Potential for Semi-Absentee Ownership The operation is backed by an exceptional, experienced staff that takes immense pride in product consistency and customer service. Crucially for an incoming investor, there is a possibility that the current, highly capable manager could remain with the business post-sale. For the right buyer, this presents a phenomenal opportunity for a possible semi-absentee situation or lifestyle-ownership model, allowing the manager to oversee daily workflows while the owner can focus on high-level strategy and growth.

Own an Established Neighborhood Bakery Café Without the Buildout
Contra Costa County, California, United States
Contra Costa County, CA, US
OWNER-OPERATOR OPPORTUNITY The opportunity may be particularly attractive for: • First-time bakery owner-operators • Cake and celebration bakery concepts • Cookie and dessert concepts • Coffee and pastry café operators • Neighborhood bakery concepts • Small-format pastry production • Specialty wholesale/retail hybrid bakery models The principal value proposition is that a buyer may focus on product development, menu execution, branding, customer experience, and bakery operations rather than first solving major startup barriers such as permitting, utility upgrades, hood installation, refrigeration installation, bakery-space design, and health-department approval process. This is an established neighborhood bakery café located within an affluent neighborhood in Contra Costa County California. The opportunity is best positioned as a second-generation bakery infrastructure acquisition for an active owner-operator seeking a practical and lower-friction path into bakery ownership. Structured as an asset sale and should be viewed primarily as an infrastructure-entry opportunity, a neighborhood bakery platform, and a reduced-friction alternative to ground-up bakery development rather than a passive cash-flow investment. Rather than developing a bakery from shell condition, a buyer acquires an already improved bakery space with installed production infrastructure, customer-facing improvements, walk-in refrigeration, hood ventilation, 200amp three-phase electrical service, existing bakery-permitted use, established customer awareness, and proven retail transaction activity.

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.
