HS Listing ID-69389
The current owner has invested over $5 million over several years securing premium real estate, completing full build-outs, and assembling an operating footprint that would be extremely difficult, time-consuming, and capital-intensive to replicate today.
Business Snapshot
6 operating franchise locations
~$2.0MM in annual gross sales
~$200K annual operating loss
Fully staffed, permitted, and operational
Prime, high-traffic trade areas
Significant discount to replacement cost
Importantly, the current loss is less than the cost of regional management alone. Under a hands-on owner/operator structure, that overhead is immediately eliminated, bringing the portfolio to or near break-even from day one, before any operational improvements are implemented.
The Opportunity
This is not a broken business — it is an under-operated one.
The owner lives out of state and invested passively, resulting in limited ownership-level oversight. As a result, the stores are materially underperforming their potential due to correctable execution gaps in staffing consistency, day-to-day management, and operational discipline.
For context, a comparable single location in another market regularly generates ~$1.0MM in annual sales from one store. Six locations in some of Florida’s strongest demographic and tourism corridors producing ~$2.0MM in total revenue clearly illustrates the magnitude of upside available under engaged ownership.
Straightforward improvements in:
Store-level accountability
Staffing optimization
Consistency and execution
Local marketing, upselling, and catering
can materially change performance in a short timeframe for the right operator.
Replacement Cost Arbitrage
Opening a new Store today typically requires:
~$500K per store
Lengthy site selection and franchisor approvals
Full build-out and permitting timelines
Operating losses during ramp-up
This offering allows a buyer to step into six established, revenue-producing locations immediately, at well below replacement cost, with sales from day one.
The hard assets alone approach ~$2.0MM, before assigning any value to permits, operating infrastructure, locations, or brand presence.
Ideal Buyer
Hands-on owner/operator
Multi-unit QSR or franchise operator
Operator-led investment group
Team seeking scale without build-out risk
This opportunity is best suited for someone who wants to skip the heavy lifting, step into an existing footprint, and unlock the upside that comes with active ownership.
If helpful, the seller is willing to share a clear, actionable operational improvement roadmap outlining immediate opportunities to drive performance post-acquisition.
