This established franchise sandwich shop offers a strong opportunity for a new owner to step into a proven, cash-flowing operation with recent sales momentum and corporate systems already in place. The business has shown significant improvement over the past year and is priced attractively for a first-time buyer seeking stability with upside.
Ideal Buyer Profile
This business is a strong fit if one or more of the following describes you:
1. First-time business owner - looking for a proven, systemized business with training and support to enter ownership confidently.
2. Owner operator - looking for hands-on involvement to control operations, stabilize cash flow, and directly benefit from day-to-day oversight.
3. E-2 Treaty Investor (Visa Buyer) – Seeking an active, operating U.S. business with employees, revenue history, and franchise infrastructure suitable for an E-2 application.
4. Family-Operated Buyer – having family members participate in operations to reduce labor costs and build long-term stability.
Business Overview
Operating since 2009, this location has become a trusted neighborhood staple within a tight-knit, family-oriented community. The store benefits from consistent repeat customers, strong brand recognition, and improved operational execution that has driven meaningful sales growth. Positioned in a busy retail center, the business is well-suited for an owner-operator looking for a straightforward, system-driven operation.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: ~$372,000 (2025)
- Cash Flow / SDE: ~$80,000
- SDE Margin: ~21.6%
- Rent-to-Sales Ratio: ~10% (favorable for QSR)
Operational Details
The restaurant operates from a ~1,400 SF space in a high-traffic shopping center adjacent to daily-use businesses that drive consistent foot traffic. Seating accommodates approximately 20–30 guests, and the store is fully equipped with all required franchise-approved equipment and POS systems.
A trained team of two full-time and two part-time employees handles daily operations, with the current owner working evenings to maintain quality and oversight. All core systems — training, inventory, ordering, and reporting — are standardized through the franchisor, making the business accessible for a new owner.
Reason for Sale
The owner is transitioning into a full-time school administration role and can no longer maintain the hands-on involvement the business currently benefits from.
Growth Opportunities
- Transition smoothly to a full-time owner-operator to maintain margins and grow consistently
- Expand catering and school or office lunch programs already in place
- Increase delivery and online order penetration using existing platforms
- Implement local marketing and community-based promotions following a brand refresh
