Duran Advisors presents this established franchise sandwich shop for sale in Houma, Louisiana, offered as store 3 of a four-store package.
The four restaurants operate under a nationally recognized sandwich franchise across the Houma and Thibodaux corridor in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes, and all four are sold together to a single buyer. The four locations have operated in this corridor for between eleven and twenty-nine years and passed to the current family ownership beginning in 2020. They compete on convenience and value rather than head to head on menu, supported by national advertising and year-round coupon programs. Food cost is managed through the franchise purchasing cooperative, which locks input pricing for months at a time and keeps cost volatility low by quick-service standards.
This particular location sits in Houma, Terrebonne Parish, and was added to the group in 2022. It is the strongest earner of the four. Identified upcoming items are new signage and approximately $12,000 of remodel equipment.
Each store is run by a store manager supported by hourly crew, and the managers are the critical continuity employees. The customer base is entirely individual retail consumers, so there is no customer concentration, no contract accounts, no receivables, and no collection risk. Roughly 13 percent of sales already come through the brand's mobile app against a system goal of 20 percent, which gives a new owner a growing digital channel without building local advertising infrastructure from scratch.
All four locations are leased from third-party landlords, so a buyer acquires the operating businesses without a real estate purchase. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment convey with the sale and are maintained under the franchisor's remodel program. Air-conditioning units are new. Point-of-sale computers are leased and paid monthly, and four of five toaster ovens are leased and replaced every two years, which keeps core equipment current. Inventory of approximately $5,000 per store is included at cost and adjusts for actual inventory on hand at closing, and roughly $15,000 of working capital per store is recommended.
The owners are selling to retire. The principal owner works a roughly 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. schedule with one to two additional hours daily on calls and messages, and two family members provide limited administrative support that ends at closing and is readily replaceable. The owners will support an orderly transition with two weeks of training at forty hours per week, and the family is aligned in support of the sale.
This is an ideal acquisition for an owner-operator stepping into a proven system with management already in place, and an equally strong fit for an existing multi-unit franchisee adding density in one contiguous trade area. Four units under one management span share suppliers, staffing, and oversight, and the franchisor favors multi-unit operators, which makes this a platform for further acquisition in a region where opportunities exist. Growth levers need little capital: move app-based sales from roughly 13 percent toward the 20 percent system goal, complete the identified signage and refresh items at the stores that need them, and add catering and local business outreach beyond the current coupon-driven marketing.
Combined net sales were $1,750,967 for the year ended December 31, 2025, with combined seller's discretionary earnings of $263,350. Those figures are taken directly from the financial statements as filed, with no add-backs applied. This location contributed net sales of $524,168 and seller's discretionary earnings of $144,306.
The sellers will entertain all reasonable offers and will consider seller financing for a qualified buyer. Franchisor approval of the buyer is required, as is standard for a transfer in this system. Given the expedited closing timeline, offers that do not hinge on new third-party lender approval will be viewed most favorably. Structure is to be discussed with the listing broker.
A Matterport 3-D Virtual Reality scan is available to fully disclosed buyers, and a Confidential Information Memorandum covering all four stores is available as well. Financial statements are released after a confidentiality agreement, a completed financial and qualification statement, and an interview with a Duran Advisors broker.
This is a structured sale with no published asking price, on the following schedule:
09/02 Question Submission Deadline
09/04 LOI Submission Deadline
10/01 Due Diligence End and Close (time may be extended for financing)
