Legend Hot Chicken in Montebello presents a rare turnkey opportunity for an operator seeking a modern, fully built-out restaurant space in a high-traffic corridor just off the 60 Freeway. With 1,903 sq. ft. of interior dining plus outdoor patio, a commercial kitchen, and an integrated TOAST POS system, this operation has all the infrastructure in place for seamless transition.

The restaurant has proven sales history—$673,736 in gross revenue in 2024 with consistent net income—and continues to demonstrate steady performance in 2025. But the real upside lies in its flexibility: the build-out and layout can easily be adapted to a variety of food-service concepts, from trending fast casual (burgers, poke, Mediterranean) to franchise conversions.

Why Buy This Business?

Prime Location – Excellent visibility near the 60 Freeway with daily commuter and residential traffic in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley.

Competitive Advantage – While Montebello has plenty of boba, coffee, and quick-service outlets, hot chicken and modern fried-chicken concepts remain underrepresented. This means a savvy operator can stand out by filling a high-demand niche.

This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a platform for growth. Whether you’re an independent operator looking to bring a new idea to market, or a franchise group seeking a proven location to expand into the SGV corridor, this space offers the infrastructure, visibility, and revenue foundation to hit the ground running.


Buyer Rebranding Advantages:

Build-Out Savings: A new restaurant build-out in LA/SGV often exceeds $250K–$400K (permits, hood systems, plumbing, grease traps, ADA upgrades, finishes). This location already has all of that in place.

Time Advantage: A new build can take 9–12 months before opening. Here, the buyer can open on Day 1, keeping revenue flowing instead of waiting for approvals.

Turnkey Equipment: The package includes multiple fryers, prep fridges, freezers, sandwich stations, griddle, shelving, ice maker, and TOAST POS system. For a new operator, that means no big upfront equipment purchases.

Patio & Kitchen Ready: Most older mom-and-pop competitors don’t offer patio dining or a modern layout. This restaurant is already configured for fast casual trends like dine-in + delivery + catering.

Flexibility for New Concept: Because the infrastructure is versatile, a buyer can convert to burgers, poke, Mediterranean, wings, boba add-ons, or franchise rollouts with minimal re-branding.
