Description
This Houston location occupies approximately 1,500 square feet of freestanding retail space and benefits from a highly visible position in a busy commercial corridor. Monthly base rent is approximately $7,187. The restaurant is strategically located in a densely populated and diverse trade area surrounded by major retailers, national quick-service brands, schools, local businesses, and established residential communities, generating consistent customer traffic throughout the day.
The business is fully staffed and managed by an experience manager and a trained team, allowing the owner to maintain a semi-absentee role of approximately 10 hours per week. For the twelve-month period from July 2025 through June 2026, the business generated gross sales of $562,404 and Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $70,011.
The current owner acquired the business in 2025 to satisfy the investment requirements associated with an E-2 Investor Visa. Since then, the owner has obtained U.S. permanent resident status through another immigration pathway and no longer needs to maintain ownership of the business for visa purposes. As a result, the owner has decided to offer the business for sale at an attractive price of $139,000, representing an excellent value for a buyer seeking an established, turnkey franchise opportunity.
The fast-casual restaurant segment continues to be one of the fastest-growing sectors in the foodservice industry as consumers increasingly seek convenient, affordable, and high-quality dining experiences. This business is well positioned to capitalize on these industry trends through its recognized brand, streamlined franchise operating system, and established online ordering and delivery platforms. With the well-known brand and a loyal customer base, this turnkey operation offers immediate cash flow and significant potential for future growth under an engaged owner.
While the business has established a solid operating foundation, several opportunities exist to further increase sales and profitability.
A more proactive local marketing strategy, coupled with greater community involvement, could significantly enhance brand awareness and customer engagement. Additional marketing initiatives may include increased utilization of social media platforms, targeted digital advertising, paid search campaigns, search engine optimization (SEO), and participation in local school, community, and business events.
The business also has opportunities to further expand its catering program by targeting nearby businesses, schools, churches, sports teams, and community organizations. Catering and group orders can provide a meaningful source of incremental revenue while increasing brand visibility within the local market.
Given the continued growth in off-premise dining, additional opportunities exist to further optimize online ordering, delivery partnerships, and third-party delivery platforms to capture increasing consumer demand for convenience and delivery services.
The current owner maintains a semi-absentee role and spends only approximately 10 hours per week on the business. An engaged owner-operator could provide more direct oversight of daily operations, improve labor and food cost management, enhance customer service, strengthen local marketing efforts, and further develop catering and delivery sales channels.
Additional growth opportunities may include:
- Introducing a breakfast menu and opening earlier to capitalize on the morning daypart and generate additional revenue.
- Extending operating hours, where appropriate, to capture additional evening and late-night traffic.
Increasing utilization of the drive-thru through targeted promotions and mobile ordering incentives.
- Implementing a more robust customer loyalty and email marketing program to encourage repeat visits and increase average transaction frequency.
- Strengthening relationships with nearby schools, offices, hospitals, and industrial businesses to secure recurring catering and group meal orders.
- Leveraging the franchisor's marketing programs and introducing local store marketing initiatives to increase brand penetration within the trade area.
With its established brand, experienced staff, prime location, and multiple avenues for growth, the business is well positioned for continued expansion under an active and motivated owner.
