Established national sandwich franchise
$ 149,000
CF : $ 34,480
This established national sandwich franchise operates in a high-end shopping center anchored by a major national tenant, in one of South Placer County's most desirable and affluent trade areas. The restaurant occupies a prime corner suite with lots of windows and excellent visibility — natural light throughout the dining room and strong sightlines from the center's traffic and parking field. The numbers are moving in the right direction. Merchandise sales grew from approximately $320,987 in 2025 to a 2026 annualized pace of approximately $349,848 — roughly 9% year-over-year growth — and that performance was achieved with the current seller in an admin role. The store is run day to day primarily by staff. The business also enjoys an established catering trade, with clear room to expand it across the surrounding offices, businesses, schools, and organizations in this commercial corridor. For a hands-on owner, that is the opportunity. An owner-operator who works the business can meaningfully improve profitability from day one — most directly by working scheduled shifts and reducing outside labor cost, and more broadly through tighter food-cost discipline, service speed, catering, and community presence in a trade area with strong household incomes. Rent is $4,548 fopr 1,080 sqft. HIGHLIGHTS • Anchored location — high-end shopping center with a large national anchor tenant in an upscale, high-income South Placer County trade area. • Prime corner suite — lots of windows, natural light, and excellent visibility from center traffic and parking. • Sales up approximately 9% — 2026 annualized pace of ~$349,848 versus $320,987 in 2025. • Immediate profitability upside — seller is administrative-only; a working owner can reduce labor cost and add their own paycheck to the bottom line. • Long-term occupancy secured — renewal exercised through January 31, 2032, subject to full document verification. • Well-maintained equipment package — complete inventory of 90+ line items in good working condition, including walk-in cooler and freezer, ovens, refrigerated prep line, and POS. Seller willing to consider reasonable offers from qualified buyers. CONFIDENTIALITY / BROKER DISCLAIMER All figures are based on seller-supplied documents and broker annualization or normalization. They are not an audit, appraisal, tax opinion, legal opinion, earnings guarantee, or representation by the franchisor. Equipment condition is as reported by the seller and subject to buyer inspection. Remodel timing and scope are approximate and subject to franchisor confirmation.

California Business Market Insight
California's business landscape varies dramatically by region and category. The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley remain the country's leading hub for technology and professional services, while Los Angeles County's entertainment, retail, and hospitality sectors make it one of the most active markets in the state for restaurant and retail acquisitions. Orange County and San Diego County combine affluent residential demand with strong tourism and biotech industries, driving steady activity in healthcare, franchise, and hospitality categories. The Central Valley — including Fresno, Bakersfield, and Sacramento — remains the state's agricultural backbone, supporting a consistent market for food production, distribution, and agriculture-adjacent businesses. The Inland Empire's logistics and distribution corridor, anchored by its proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, has become an active market for warehouse, transportation, and industrial service businesses. Smaller metro areas and coastal counties continue to support strong demand for laundromats, gas stations, liquor stores, and other everyday-service businesses that anchor local communities throughout the state.
