Asking Price: * Business Only: $135,000

Investment Thesis
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a locally loved, high-visibility restaurant in the heart of Varnville, South Carolina. Established over the last 5 years, this business has built a loyal community following and offers incredible versatility for an investor or owner-operator.
With the unique option to purchase the real estate, a buyer can eliminate rent overhead and build long-term equity. Whether you choose to maintain the current successful model or pivot to a new concept, the foundation is already built, permitted, and profitable.
Strategic Highlights & Assets
The "Bar Upside": The facility includes a fully built-out bar area that is currently unutilized. Activating this space represents an immediate opportunity to capture high-margin beverage sales and expand evening foot traffic.
Turnkey Equipment: The sale includes 100% of the current inventory, furniture, and kitchen equipment (FF&E). You are ready for service on Day 1.
Flexible Franchise Model: Currently operating under a brand with a low 4% fee on food sales.
Zero-Penalty Rebranding: The franchise agreement allows for a full change of name and menu without penalties, giving you total creative and operational freedom.
Spacious Setting: A welcoming small-town atmosphere with strong local ties and a consistent customer base.
Growth & Value-Add Potential
Full Bar Activation: Transform the unused bar into a destination for sports, local craft beers, or a specialized cocktail menu.
Concept Rebranding: Utilize the existing infrastructure to launch a new culinary concept (BBQ, Southern Comfort, Pizzeria) without the cost of a new build-out.
Real Estate Ownership: By purchasing the building for $365k total, you secure your business's future and protect yourself from market rent increases.
Transition & Support
The current ownership is committed to the restaurant’s continued success and is offering hands-on training and transition support. The sellers are available to remain on-site as compensated employees during the handover period to ensure staff continuity and customer retention.
