Confidential opportunity to acquire an established, absentee-run hot chicken restaurant franchise in the Manassas / Northern Virginia market.
The business is fully operational and turnkey, with an experienced management team and trained staff already in place. Ownership is not required to be involved in day-to-day restaurant operations, making this an attractive opportunity for an investor, multi-unit operator, or buyer seeking a business with an existing operating structure.
The restaurant generates approximately $120,000 in annual cash flow and is being offered at $350,000. The location benefits from an established customer base, strong visibility, convenient access, ample parking, and a high-traffic retail environment. Approximately 7 years remain on the lease, providing meaningful operating runway for a new owner.
The surrounding Manassas/20109 trade area also has significant residential and commercial development underway or planned. Nearby redevelopment projects collectively include more than 1,400 approved or planned residential units, along with additional retail, commercial, and community development. This continued investment in the surrounding corridor has the potential to expand the local customer base and increase traffic over the coming years.
The operation offers additional upside for a hands-on owner or experienced restaurant operator through increased local marketing, community partnerships, catering, digital advertising, and greater owner involvement. Current ownership has intentionally maintained a largely absentee operating model.
The sale includes the operating business, furniture, fixtures, equipment, existing staff and management infrastructure, and the opportunity to assume the franchise relationship and lease, subject to franchisor and landlord approval.
Reason for sale: Owner is focusing on other business and professional commitments.
To protect the ongoing business, employees, and franchise relationship, the brand name and exact location will not be disclosed publicly. Additional financial information, franchise details, and location information will be provided to qualified buyers following execution of a confidentiality agreement.
Serious and financially qualified inquiries only. Please do not contact employees, customers, landlord, or visit the business for purposes of discussing the sale without prior authorization.
