## Executive Summary
An exceptional, low-overhead acquisition opportunity in Harrogate, TN, featuring two highly-rated culinary concepts operating out of a single, optimized footprint.
This turn-key location combines an established Jon Smith Subs premium franchise with The Meaner Wiener, a highly successful proprietary gourmet hot dog "ghost kitchen." Because both concepts utilize an identical ingredient profile and share 100% of the on-site labor, food waste is minimized, food costs are heavily optimized, and day-to-day management is streamlined for maximum operational efficiency.
With all the heavy lifting of startup, permitting, construction, and staffing complete, this business is fully operational and primed for an owner-operator or strategic investor to capture immediate cash flow on Day 1.
## Financial & Investment Highlights
Dual Revenue Streams, Single Overhead: Two distinct menus running simultaneously out of one 1,200 SF location with a single staff.
Built-in Asset Base: Sale includes all premium commercial kitchen equipment, furniture, fixtures, a fully integrated Toast POS system, and active inventory.
Unbeatable Fixed Overhead: Exceptional lease terms at just $2,333.00/month through mid-2028 in a high-demand trade zone.
Optimized Supply Chain: Highly engineered menu intersection dramatically reduces raw material costs and maximizes gross margins.
## The Infrastructure & Strategic Location
The Facility: Clean, modern 1,200 sq. ft. build-out featuring comfortable indoor dining and a premium outdoor patio seating area.
High-Traffic Logistics: Strategically positioned directly off busy US Highway 25E (locally known as "Alternative I-75"). This massive transit corridor captures a steady flow of interstate travelers looking to shave time off their commutes between the Midwest (OH, MI, IN) and the Carolinas (NC, SC).
Built-In University Demand: Located in immediate proximity to Lincoln Memorial University (LMU). The business experiences massive, predictable revenue surges when school is in session, driven not only by faculty, staff, and students but by visiting collegiate athletic teams placing large-scale catering and delivery orders.
Year-Round Tourism: Positioned as a major pitstop for travelers visiting The Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, local hiking hubs, and thriving ATV/UTV trail recreation systems.
## Market Position & Unmatched Competitive Moat
Zero Local Competition: Jon Smith Subs stands alone as the only premium grilled and deli sub concept in the immediate region.
Proprietary Value Add: The Meaner Wiener dominates the market as the exclusive provider of gourmet, giant hot dogs, giving the location a complete monopoly over two highly popular fast-casual segments.
## Growth & Expansion Levers
Multi-Unit Development: An immediate opportunity exists for an ambitious buyer to assume a multi-unit development agreement with Jon Smith Subs corporate to scale across the region.
Ghost Kitchen Franchising: The proprietary "The Meaner Wiener" concept has a proven, highly reproducible model that can easily be packaged, packaged as a franchise, or licensed to other existing kitchens to generate passive royalty streams.
Expanded Catering Infrastructure: Capitalize further on the existing LMU sports pipeline by formalizing corporate, athletic, and community catering packages.
