$135,000 to an owner who does not staff or supervise the store day to day — a branded quick-service food franchise doing $650,000 in 2025 net sales out of 1,000 sq ft on the main east–west retail artery through northern Suffolk, next door to a center anchored by a national grocer and a big-box sporting goods store. Open seven days, runs absentee on a staffed roster. Asking $300,000.
Ten years remain on the lease, and the landlord will re-up beyond it. A tight counter footprint with no dining room overhead attached to it, and a big-box cluster within a mile — warehouse club, department store, home improvement and grocery — pulling shoppers onto this stretch all week.
The trade area is an affluent one — median household income above $165,000 and median homes above $670,000. Growth is in the add-ons: sports and school catering with two schools close enough for standing orders, office-park accounts from a large office building next door with no bulk account in place, and a third-party delivery push in a car-first area under-served for healthy lunch delivery.
