Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a well-established portfolio of five Papa Johns restaurants strategically located across Virginia and North Carolina, including one company-owned real estate asset. As part of one of the most recognized pizza franchise systems in the world, these locations benefit from strong brand awareness, established operating systems, national marketing support, and a loyal customer base.
The business generates revenue through multiple channels, including carryout, delivery, online ordering, mobile app transactions, third-party delivery platforms, and catering services. The stores have established market presence, experienced personnel, and proven operating procedures designed to support efficient day-to-day operations and consistent customer service.
This multi-unit platform offers the advantages of scale, centralized oversight, and an established operating infrastructure, making it an attractive opportunity for existing franchisees, strategic restaurant operators, private investors, or owner-operators seeking immediate cash flow and expansion within the quick-service restaurant sector.
Included in the sale is the real estate associated with one of the locations, providing additional investment value, long-term occupancy security, and potential future appreciation. Ownership of the property reduces exposure to lease escalation while creating an additional asset component beyond the operating business.
With a recognized national brand, established operations, diversified revenue streams, and opportunities to further grow sales through local marketing initiatives, enhanced catering efforts, digital engagement, and operational optimization, this portfolio represents an exceptional acquisition opportunity in two growing Southeastern markets.
Real estate services are exclusively provided by TBA RVA Realty Inc dba Planet CRE. Contact: Joe Moorman, Managing Broker, 757-785-0270, jmoorman@tworld.com

Smithfield City County, Virginia
Established Bakery with Strong Growth Potential
$ 125,000
This established specialty bakery was founded by an owner with firsthand experience in the concept, having previously worked within the business model before introducing it to a new market. The owner developed a comprehensive business plan and successfully launched the bakery, building it into a destination known for premium cupcakes, specialty cakes, cookies, macarons, cheesecakes, and other handcrafted desserts. The business has developed a loyal customer base through its commitment to quality, exceptional customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Situated in a growing community with strong residential and commercial development, the bakery is well positioned to benefit from continued population growth and increasing consumer demand. Ongoing housing development and expanding local infrastructure provide additional opportunities for a new owner to continue growing the business. Additional Value Included in the Sale The purchase price includes approximately $50,000 in leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are investments made to customize and improve a leased commercial space for the operation of the business, creating meaningful value for an incoming owner who can step into an already established location. Also included are approximately: $30,000 in Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) $4,500 in Inventory For 2025, the business generated approximately $24,388 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), with performance showing continued improvement this year. With an established reputation, recognizable brand, operating infrastructure, equipment, inventory, and an already-built-out location, this represents an attractive turnkey opportunity. It could be particularly compelling for an experienced bakery or food-service operator who wants to plug an existing or similar concept into a ready-to-operate location, or for an entrepreneur who sees the opportunity to take the current business to the next level through additional marketing, expanded offerings, operational improvements, and continued growth. Serious buyers only. For additional information, please contact: 757 231 6557 https://tworld.com/locations/Virginia/commonwealth/listings/Established-Bakery-with-Strong-Growth-Potential
Chesapeake City County, Virginia
Established & Highly Profitable Bagel Shop – Chesapeake, VA
$ 495,000
$820K Revenue | $200K+ SDE | 20% YoY Growth | SBA Approved Rare opportunity to acquire a proven, highly profitable, and fully established bagel and café business in Chesapeake, Virginia. This is not a startup. The business has a documented operating history, a trained team, strong customer loyalty, and financial performance that can be verified through tax returns. 2025 Financial Performance 2025 Revenue: Approximately $820,000 2025 Seller’s Discretionary Earnings: $200,000+ Financials supported by filed tax returns 2026 Sales Growth: Approximately 20% higher month-over-month compared with the same periods in 2025 SBA Financing Approved / Pre-Qualified, subject to buyer qualification and final lender underwriting The business is located in a high-traffic Chesapeake shopping center surrounded by strong residential and commercial activity, offering excellent visibility, convenient access, and ample parking. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Exceptional Profitability The business produced more than $200,000 in seller cash flow in 2025, providing an attractive income opportunity for an owner-operator. Growth Is Continuing This is not a flat business. Sales in 2026 are currently running approximately 20% ahead of the comparable periods last year, demonstrating continued momentum. Turnkey Operation The business features a streamlined menu of fresh bagels, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, coffee, and beverages, supported by established operating procedures and commercial-grade equipment. Experienced & Trained Staff A dependable, cross-trained team handles day-to-day operations, helping provide continuity for a new owner and reducing the operational challenges associated with starting from scratch. Strong Local Following The company has developed a loyal customer base and strong reputation built around quality products, consistent service, and repeat business. Limited Immediate Capital Needs The operation is established and equipped, allowing a buyer to step into an existing business rather than investing heavily in a new build-out and startup phase. Additional Growth Opportunities A new owner could further increase revenue and profitability through: Expanded corporate, school, medical, and government catering Greater emphasis on online ordering and delivery Corporate breakfast and lunch programs Additional marketing to surrounding offices and residential communities Extended hours or additional dayparts Expanded coffee and beverage offerings Potential future locations or replication of the concept Seller Transition & Support The seller is prepared to provide training and transitional assistance to help ensure a smooth handoff of operations, recipes, vendor relationships, procedures, and service standards. An Exceptional Opportunity for the Right Buyer This is a chance to acquire a profitable, growing, established business generating more than $200,000 in annual seller cash flow, with continued double-digit sales growth and SBA financing available for qualified buyers. Secure this opportunity before it is gone. Qualified buyers may request an NDA to receive the complete confidential package, including financial information, tax-return support, equipment details, lease information, and staffing information, and to arrange a confidential site visit.

Food Cart Business $265K SDE Expansion Rights to Five Locations
$ 549,000
Offered for sale is a long-established, highly profitable food cart business with more than 30 years of operations. The business currently operates a single cart producing approximately $265,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, with simple operations and exceptional margins. Sales average over $1000 per hour during a three-hour operational period. The business currently generates approximately $61,000 per month in revenue from just one location. The sale includes five transferable city peddler permits, allowing a buyer to expand to multiple simultaneous locations at their discretion. Recently, the seller has intentionally maintained a single-cart model for lifestyle reasons. A nearby commissary kitchen is also available for lease allowing the owner to quickly prep and clean up. Easy menu prep and fast production makes this business less labor-intensive than most food operations. If you like making $$$ in a fast paced-work day that is over before 3pm, then this is the business for you! Financial Highlights 2025 Seller’s Discretionary Earnings: ~$265,000 Strong, consistent revenue history Excellent gross and net margins Clean, well-documented add-backs available to qualified buyers Asking price reflects just over 2× verified historical SDE, without attributing value to speculative expansion. Operations Established in 1996 by two entrepreneurial brothers, this well-known food cart business has become a city staple, consistently ranked among the best in the area. With five valuable street vending permits—including a flexible mobile peddler’s permit—the business offers strong operational versatility. Known for fresh, healthy wraps served fast with friendly service, it draws loyal, repeat customers and steady lunchtime crowds. Featured on the Travel Channel, this turnkey operation offers an exceptional opportunity to own a celebrated, high-traffic brand with strong community roots and a loyal following on social media that shows up whenever they post a new event. There are four additional permits purchased within the city, one being a mobile peddler's license. The city is not issuing anymore permits for mobile food carts. Conservative estimates show sales of $1.4 Million with all five locations operating. Add to this catering and special events that the current owners decline, and you could easily hit $1.7M in annual revenue. https://tworld.com/locations/Virginia/commonwealth/listings/-Food-Cart-Business-265K-SDE-Expansion-Rights-to-Five-Locations
