OVERVIEW

Turn-Key Midtown Restaurant – Rare Opportunity, Built & Profitable In the restaurant game, time is money — and this deal saves you both. For $325,000 key money, you’re walking into a fully operational, revenue-generating Midtown restaurant with a 7+ -year below-market lease — not an empty shell, not a headache, not a gamble. Current Performance: Annual Revenue: $$$$,000 – $$$$,000 (operating only 5 PM – 1 AM daily) Monthly Overhead: $15,000 – $18,000 (all expenses included) Marketing: Zero — meaning massive untapped growth potential Upside Potential: Earlier Hours: Opening at 11 AM could add $50K–$100K annually Advertising & Social Media: No current marketing strategy in place Additional Revenue Streams: Catering, private events, delivery partnerships Why This is Smarter Than a Shell Space: Opening a new restaurant from an empty shell can cost $500K – $1M+, take 12–18 months to permit, build, and pass inspections — with zero revenue during that time. This opportunity skips: City Permits & Red Tape – Already licensed and operating Build-Out Costs – Dining area and full commercial kitchen already in place FF&E Investment – All furniture, fixtures, and equipment included Staff Training & Menu Development – Proven operations already running Flexibility for Your Vision: Whether you’re an existing operator looking to expand, relocate, or launch a new concept — this space is a fully built-out canvas. There are no restrictions on your build-out, branding, or menu. You can keep the current setup and grow it, or completely reimagine the concept under your own name. Bottom Line: This business is already making money. At the current revenue level, your investment can be recovered in under 12 months. In Midtown, where rents are high and build-out timelines drag, this is a rare chance to buy time, revenue, location, and creative control — all at once. Step in today, scale tomorrow. Investor Q&A / FAQ Q: Why is the business being sold? A: The current owner is focusing on other ventures and is ready to pass the opportunity to someone who can maximize the space’s full potential. Q: Is the restaurant currently profitable? A: Yes. The business generates $430K–$530K annually, operating only 8 hours a day (5 PM – 1 AM), with low monthly overhead of $15K–$18K. Q: What’s included in the sale? A: The sale includes: Lease with 7 years remaining at $45 PSF for 1,316 SF plus Triple Net (NNN) $12 PSF Fully built-out dining space Complete commercial kitchen with 16-ft vent hood and 1,000-gallon grease trap All furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) Private parking, street parking, and valet parking options All required licenses and permits to operate immediately Q: Are there restrictions on the concept, menu, or branding? A: None. The space can be rebranded or remodeled for your own concept — whether it’s an expansion, relocation, or a new idea entirely. Q: How much would it cost to build a similar restaurant from scratch? A: $500K–$1M+ in Midtown, plus 12–18 months of permitting, build-out, inspections, and no revenue during that time. Q: How soon can a new owner take over operations? A: Immediately after closing. This is a true turn-key opportunity. Q: What’s the lease term and rate? A: 7 years remaining at $45 PSF base rent, plus $12 PSF triple net (NNN) — well below market for Midtown. Q: What are the growth opportunities? A: Expanding hours to open earlier in the day, launching marketing campaigns, adding catering/private events, and partnering with delivery platforms could significantly increase annual revenue. Q: Is staff included? A: The current team can remain in place if desired, providing operational continuity. Q: Is financing available? A: This is a cash purchase. Buyers can explore SBA loans or other private funding sources if needed.
