TRANSWORLD BUSINESS ADVISORS OF HOUSTON.LISTING
Priced to sell! Seller financing available! This sandwich franchise has been open for over 20 years and offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer to get in at a low price as employees continue to return to their offices post pandemic. It also has very family-friendly hours since it's only open Monday thru Friday 10a-2:30p, which means evenings and weekends off! How often can you do that in the restaurant business?
Schlotzsky’s opened its first location in 1971 with a small restaurant on South Congress Ave. in Austin, Texas.

Per seller's financials, sales were $355,334 with discretionary earnings of $56,258 for 2023. The outlook for 2024 is even stronger as more employers are requiring their employees to return to the office vs working from home. The listing price includes FF&E of $82,000, Leasehold Improvements of $50,000, and Inventory of $5,000. The seller is motivated to sell and wants to pursue another career opportunity. The seller will provide two weeks of training in addition to the training provided by franchisor.
This location would be perfect for an owner-operator that enjoys working with people and prefers to have evenings and weekends off. There is a lot of potential to increase catering and delivery in the area to nearby businesses. There is also an opportunity to extend store hours to include breakfast in order to maximize Cinnabon sales.
