HS Listing ID-71584
Motivated Seller — Health-Driven Exit The owner is exiting due to significant health issues and is highly motivated to close quickly with the right buyer. The asking price reflects this motivation and represents strong value relative to the turnkey buildout, established 17-year brand, and below-market rent. Qualified, prepared buyers will be prioritized.
Overview– a 17-year established sushi restaurant in Beaufort County, SC. The business operates from a 1,500 sq ft space with 40 dining seats and an 8-seat sushi bar, featuring a fully equipped kitchen and sushi station. As the owner-operator scales back due to health, the business presents an immediate turnaround opportunity for a new operator ready to restore full hours and modernize sales channels.
Operations Owner-operator currently runs a reduced schedule of approximately 4 hours per night, focused on pickup orders averaging approximately $400 per night, with dine-in offered only to long-time loyal customers. Owner is exiting due to health reasons and is willing to support a smooth transition.
Facility & Lease 1,500 sq ft space with 40 dining seats plus 8-seat sushi bar. Rent is $3,200/month, all-inclusive. Lease is assignable; landlord is supportive of transfer to a qualified buyer and open to a new term.
Assets Included Facility leasehold, fully equipped kitchen, sushi bar station, dining room furniture and fixtures, signature menu and recipes (including Sakana Roll, Snow Roll, Stacey Roll, White Castle), established supplier relationships, brand, and 17-year customer goodwill.
Growth Opportunities
Return to full-time operating hours — owner historically ran a significantly higher-volume schedule
Reopen full dine-in service — currently limited to loyal regulars only, leaving 40 seats and 8 bar seats underutilized
No third-party delivery ever offered — Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub represent immediate revenue upside
Reactivate idle kitchen — full menu expansion beyond current sushi bar offerings
Zero paid advertising or social media presence — immediate digital marketing upside
Add lunch service to capture daytime traffic
