Market Sushi Franchise for Sale in a Major Supermarket – Stable Income Structure

This Market Sushi franchise is located inside a major national grocery chain, benefiting from strong and consistent foot traffic on both weekdays and weekends. Due to the nature of the supermarket environment, the business is minimally affected by seasonal factors and maintains stable demand throughout the year.

-->Financial Summary (2025)

Annual Gross Revenue: $383,426

Average Annual Net Income: $159,812

Average Monthly Net Profit: Approximately $13,317

Supported by a diverse customer base, the business maintains steady revenue year-round.

-->Current Operating Structure

The business is operated under a two-person partnership model with no hired employees.

Both partners work together or rotate shifts

Start work around 8:00 AM

Most production and display preparation is completed by approximately 2:30 PM

Work is concentrated in the morning, allowing flexibility in the afternoon for rest or personal activities

This structure allows for strong profitability while maintaining work-life balance.

-->Ideal Size for Two-Person Operation

Market Sushi locations are difficult to operate alone, yet many smaller units are inefficient for two workers. Larger locations often require hiring employees, which can create additional challenges such as:

Union-related requirements

Complex hiring procedures

Termination and HR risks

This location is ideally sized for two partners to operate efficiently without hiring staff. It is currently run by a couple or partnership team.

-->Prime Location Advantages

The surrounding area provides a balanced mix of customer demand:

Students from nearby universities (LMU, OTIS)

Residents from dense residential neighborhoods

Commuting professionals and lunch-time customers

This is not a vacation-dependent area and enjoys stable consumer demand throughout the year.

-->Spacious and Efficient Kitchen & Prep Area

One of the key strengths of this location is its unusually large preparation space compared to other units.

Approximately double the prep space of typical locations

Dedicated sushi cooking range

Space for two large rice cookers

Capacity for additional small freezers

Independent layout separate from the deli area

Unlike some locations where the deli oven is located directly behind the sushi station, this unit offers better workflow, reduced heat exposure, and improved operational efficiency.

-->Covered Parking – A Rare Advantage

Parking conditions play an important role in operator comfort and productivity.

This location offers covered parking, allowing operators to rest comfortably regardless of weather conditions. This is a rare benefit compared to most exposed parking areas.

This location has:

Maintained strong cooperation with store managers and staff
