Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable franchise location established for 8 years in the healthy fast-casual segment — one of the fastest-growing categories in U.S. food service. The business is part of a national brand with over 100 franchised locations, providing instant brand recognition and the support of an established franchise system. The model includes dine-in, takeout, grab-and-go prepared meals, weekly meal plan, and catering — diversification that provides resilience and recurring revenue most single-channel restaurants cannot match. The location has been operated as an absentee investment by an owner residing outside the local market. The business has not had the benefit of a hands-on, engaged local owner. A new owner-operator or local investor has immediate, executable opportunities to drive meaningful revenue growth — without significant capital investment.

Untapped Growth Levers Available Day One:
Minimal local marketing in the past three to four years —
-social media, community engagement, and grassroots outreach are wide open.
-Partnerships with nearby gyms, fitness studios, schools and hospitals are largely untapped.
-Corporate wellness programs and lunch catering with local employers present substantial recurring revenue potential.
-The meal plan program has significant room to grow through gym partnerships, trainer referrals, and local marketing.
-Catering is an underdeveloped, high-margin revenue stream.
-Third-party delivery platform optimization (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) has received limited attention as well.
-An on-site owner can capture efficiencies in labor, food cost, and vendor management difficult to manage remotely.

Strong Market Position:
The healthy fast-casual segment continues to grow as consumers seek nutritious, convenient meal options. The location faces limited direct competition in its trade area, with few competitors offering the same combination of dine-in, meal plans, grab-and-go, and catering focused exclusively on healthy eating. The franchise system provides national brand support, marketing, technology, vendor relationships, and a proven operational playbook.

Turnkey Operation:
-Established for 8 years with a loyal, repeat customer base
-Fully built-out facility with all FF&E included
-Trained staff in place for a smooth transition
-Existing meal plan customers providing recurring revenue
-Protected franchise territory (with room to obtain more sites in the market and neighboring territories)
-Assumable lease in a high-visibility location

Training & Support:
The buyer will receive full corporate training through the franchisor's new-owner program, plus ongoing field support from a dedicated franchise business consultant. The current owner will provide on-site transition training, introductions to staff and vendors, and post-closing phone/email support.

Ideal Buyer:
This opportunity is ideally suited for a hands-on owner-operator, a local investor with an on-site manager, a first-time buyer seeking a proven franchise system, or an existing food service operator adding a high-growth healthy concept to their portfolio. SBA financing candidates are encouraged to inquire.

Low Barrier to Entry & Flexible Financing:
No prior restaurant experience required — the franchisor provides comprehensive training and ongoing support. Owner financing is available to qualified buyers, offering a flexible path to ownership beyond traditional SBA or bank financing.

Reason for Sale:
The owner does not reside in the local market and is unable to provide the hands-on attention the business needs to reach its full potential. This creates an attractive opportunity for a local buyer to acquire a profitable, established franchise location with clear, executable upside.

Serious inquiries only. NDA required for full financial disclosure.

Market Outlook / Competition
Strong Market Position in a Growing Segment:
The healthy fast-casual segment is one of the fastest-growing categories in the U.S. food service industry, driven by consumer demand for nutritious and convenient meal options.
Limited Competition:
While the local market has the usual mix of pizza, burger, sandwich, and traditional fast-casual options, there are few direct competitors offering the same combination of dine-in, grab-and-go meal plans focused on healthy eating.
Prime Location:
The restaurant is located in a high-visibility shopping center surrounded by strong daytime and evening traffic generators including gyms, fitness studios, medical offices, professional offices, residential neighborhoods, schools, and 2 large hospitals.
Diversified Revenue Streams:
Unlike a typical single-channel restaurant, this business generates revenue from multiple sources, including: In-store dine-in and takeout, Weekly meal plan (recurring revenue), Grab-and-go prepared meals, Catering
Opportunities for Growth
This business represents a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, established franchise location that has been operated as an absentee investment by an out-of-market owner. While the location has performed under absentee management, it has never had the benefit of a hands-on, engaged owner physically present in the local market. An owner-operator or local owner stepping into this business can unlock substantial untapped revenue with relatively simple, executable initiatives.

The current owner resides outside the local market and has operated the business as an absentee investment. This location has not received the focused attention that local relationship-building, community presence, and active marketing require. A new owner who is physically present in the market — whether an owner-operator, a local investor with an on-site manager, or an existing food service operator — is well-positioned to grow revenue meaningfully in a short timeframe with proven, low-cost initiatives.
