About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 4
- Employees
- 27 (15 Full-time, 12 Part-time)
- Facilities & Assets
- Fully equipped turnkey coastal restaurant located in a high-traffic beach area with strong local and tourist demand. The space includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) needed for continued operations, including a fully functional commercial kitchen, POS system, and dining room setup. The lease is highly favorable at approximately $5,400/month and secured through 2034, providing long-term operational stability. Well-maintained assets and efficient layout allow for immediate continued operation without additional investment.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business is located in a high-demand beachside community within one of Florida’s most visited coastal corridors, benefiting from strong year-round local population and significant seasonal tourism. The surrounding area continues to experience active residential and commercial development.
Demand for quality dining consistently exceeds supply in the immediate beachside sub-market, supporting strong and stable revenue with peak seasonality from March through August. The customer base is diversified, including local residents, vacation renters, and regional tourists.
Competition within the direct beachside area is limited, and no comparable concept offers the same combination of full-service dining, craft cocktails, live entertainment, and outdoor patio seating. This business holds a clear category leadership position locally, with no direct competitor replicating its full experience offering. - Opportunities for Growth
- The business presents multiple immediate, low-capital growth opportunities for a new owner.
- Catering and private events remain largely untapped and could generate an estimated $30K–$80K in additional annual revenue utilizing existing kitchen and patio space.
- A built-in but underutilized loyalty program and limited paid digital advertising represent additional channels to increase repeat visits and customer acquisition.
- More hours of operation can easily generate another $20K per month in revenue.
These combined initiatives provide a clear path to improving both peak and off-season performance without additional buildout
