$670,000
Description
This long-established full-service restaurant offers scale, stability, and a location advantage that cannot be replicated in today’s market. The business generates about $4.0 million in annual revenue and produces about $670,000 in adjusted cash flow, reflecting consistent and reliable operating performance.
The restaurant includes a Type 47 full liquor license, seating for 154 guests indoors plus additional patio seating, and approximately 4,000 square feet of well-designed, turn-key space. A separate bar area complements the dining room, and the fully equipped commercial kitchen is built to support high-volume service. The restaurant operates in a highly visible coastal destination that sees steady foot traffic throughout the day. An experienced staff and management team are in place to support a smooth transition.
A major competitive advantage is the lease structure. The business operates under a long-term lease secured beyond 2036, with occupancy costs well below typical market rates for comparable coastal restaurant locations.
There is also meaningful upside for a new owner. Growth opportunities include expanding private events and group dining, developing catering and strategic partnerships, enhancing bar and beverage programming, extending seasonal operating hours, and strengthening digital and social marketing efforts.
The restaurant is fully operational with established systems, a proven seafood and bar program, and a strong mix of visitor and repeat local clientele. Inventory is sold separately and is typically approximately $50,000 at cost.
This is a confidential offering. To protect the business, the name and exact location are not disclosed publicly. Qualified buyers must complete a financial profile and sign a nondisclosure agreement prior to receiving detailed information.
Serious inquiries only. Contact Carmel Business Sales to learn more and schedule a private tour.

Established Full-Service Veterinary Practice – Growing General Practice Foundation
$ 1,900,000
This is a well-established, state-of-the-art, full-service small animal hospital in one of California's most desirable coastal communities — the Monterey Peninsula. In operation since 2005, the practice has built a loyal client base on a strong general-practice and emergency-service foundation, supported by a trained, tenured team, and has become a trusted, integral part of the Monterey Peninsula community. The owner is retiring and, to ensure a smooth transition, is willing to stay on for a year or more to support continuity with clients and staff. The hospital occupies a spacious, purpose-built facility of approximately 8,200 square feet, featuring modern, well-maintained infrastructure and fully equipped for emergency services, general practice, surgery, in-house diagnostics, and on-site boarding, with support from mobile specialty services. Day-to-day operations run on Cornerstone (IDEXX) practice management software, with clean, well-organized records that make diligence straightforward and give a new owner full visibility into production, clients, and service lines. The practice is anchored by a recurring general-practice and emergency client base that has grown steadily, with general-practice revenue up approximately 25% over the past three years. This consistent growth reflects the practice's standing as a trusted, long-term care provider for pet owners across the Peninsula. There are clear, well-supported ways to grow. Monterey County's population and pet-ownership growth continues to support demand for additional veterinary capacity — including emergency and specialty services — leaving meaningful room for multiple providers in the market. For a motivated DVM owner-operator or a regional operator, the path to building on the current foundation is clear and already well supported by the facility and systems in place. A turn-key, established hospital of this size and quality on the Central Coast is a rare opportunity. The build-out, systems, and client base are in place and running. This is an outstanding opportunity for a qualified veterinary owner-operator or group to continue serving as an integral, trusted part of the Monterey Peninsula community for years to come.
