21-Year Established Full-Service Caterer, Loyal Repeat Clients
$ 269,000
This is a 21-year-old, full-service off-premise catering company serving corporate and social clients throughout the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. The business plans and executes events end-to-end — menu design, food and beverage production, event staffing, bartending for events serving alcohol, and coordination of rentals and florals — covering everything from simple drop-off catering to fully staffed, white-glove events. Revenue splits roughly 50% food and beverage, 45% staffing/service, and 5% other, giving the business multiple income streams rather than relying on food sales alone. The client base skews toward professionals and decision-makers with discretionary budget — corporate event planners and individuals planning weddings and private celebrations — built primarily through repeat business, referrals, and word of mouth rather than paid advertising. The company operates from a lean, off-premise commercial kitchen (no dine-in overhead), is run by a small core team (2 full-time, 10 part-time staff, plus a pool of trusted on-call contractors), and has stayed profitable through two major economic downturns. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, trained staff willing to stay on through the transition, and a seller open to a training period and ongoing consulting support post-close — a turnkey opportunity for a buyer to step into an established, cash-flowing operation. There's clear runway for a buyer ready to give this business full-time attention — something the current owners haven't been able to do since their separate product line started pulling focus. Weddings stand out as the single biggest opportunity: ownership has identified this segment as relatively insulated from the corporate budget tightening that can affect catering spend, since people keep getting married regardless of the economy. The business has barely scratched this market despite strong word-of-mouth. Marketing is another underdeveloped lever — the company currently relies almost entirely on social media and referrals from past events, with no paid marketing or dedicated sales effort. A buyer investing even modestly in lead generation, venue and vendor partnerships, or targeted advertising could plausibly grow bookings without changing the operating model at all. There's also room to shift revenue mix toward higher-margin offerings — full-service staffing, bartending, and event coordination currently represent a meaningful but still-minority share of revenue relative to food and beverage, and these services tend to carry better margins than straight drop-off catering. On the demand side, the broader event catering market is trending toward distinctive, highly visual experiences, which plays well to this company's reputation for scratch-made, creative menus. Early-2026 financials already show this momentum building, with revenue and earnings both well ahead of prior-year pace — a buyer stepping in now would be building on an upswing, not starting from flat. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/murfreesboro/listings/21-Year-Established-Full-Service-Caterer-Loyal-Repeat-Clients

Premium Mexican Restaurant & Full Bar
$ 335,000
A premium Mexican restaurant and full bar concept located in one of Nashville's fastest-growing urban neighborhoods. This turnkey operation spans approximately 4,964 square feet and includes a transferable liquor license, a trained staff of 13, and substantial hard assets — offered at an early-entry price point with significant unrealized marketing upside. The space features a fully built-out interior and exterior designed for a premium dining and bar experience, including a complete commercial kitchen, full bar setup, and dedicated seating for dine-in and bar service. The lease runs through a 10-year term with two additional 5-year renewal options, providing long-term occupancy stability at a competitive rate for the area. Having opened just five months ago, the business has generated over $440,000 in revenue during that period, with month-over-month growth throughout. The grand opening event and all digital marketing remain entirely unlaunched, representing a clear, low-cost growth opportunity for a new owner. Additional upside includes a happy hour program, private dining and catering packages, and continued benefit from a rapidly growing surrounding population, with several large residential and mixed-use developments underway nearby. A new owner steps into a fully equipped, fully staffed operation with day-one operational capability — avoiding the cost, time, and uncertainty of a ground-up buildout in one of Nashville's most competitive commercial corridors. The grand opening event and all digital marketing (social media, paid search) remain entirely unlaunched. Additional opportunities include private dining and catering packages, expanded hours, and continued benefit from substantial nearby residential and mixed-use development already underway. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/Premium-Mexican-Restaurant-Full-Bar
