desirable and high-traffic locations. Positioned in the heart of a thriving commercial district, this business benefits from exceptional visibility, strong foot traffic, and an attractive long-term lease that is significantly below current market rates for comparable spaces in the area.

The current operation combines a café and specialty grocery concept, generating established revenue with a loyal customer base already in place. For an entrepreneur looking to enter the food and beverage industry, this is a true turnkey opportunity with substantial value in the existing infrastructure alone. For an experienced operator, the location and buildout provide a unique platform to introduce a new café, bakery, coffee concept, wine bar, specialty retail business, or other hospitality venture.

This is also a nearly complete food service build-out, making it especially attractive for a pizza concept, fast-casual restaurant, or similar operator looking to avoid the time and cost of construction.

Major infrastructure and kitchen highlights include:

Triple sink setup (commercial grade)
Triple filtered water system
Three (3) hot water heaters
Three (3) commercial AC units
300-amp electrical service (triple-phase power capacity)
Most electrical already on GFCI and specialty breakers
All-new lighting and ceiling systems throughout
Double-door delivery access with ramp for easy loading/unloading
Two (2) mop sinks for back-of-house efficiency
Two (2) restrooms

Over $200,000 has been invested into the space, including approximately $100,000+ in equipment, furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), along with an additional $100,000+ in leasehold improvements and buildout costs. The space is fully operational and ready for immediate ownership.

Highlights:

Prime Charleston location with some of the highest foot traffic in the county Charleston
Long-term lease in place at below-market rental rates
Established café and retail operation with existing revenue and customer base
Fully built-out commercial kitchen infrastructure (rare “plug-and-play” opportunity)

Whether you're looking to operate the existing business or leverage an exceptional location and infrastructure for a new concept, opportunities like this rarely come to market. The combination of a premium location, favorable lease terms, established revenue, and substantial buildout investment creates significant value for the next owner.

The seller is committed to a smooth transition and ensuring continuity for the incoming operator.
