Franchise Mexican Restaurant with Beer & Wine
$ 225,000
Fast-Casual Mexican Food Franchise – Coastal South Bay Los Angeles County Investment Opportunity An excellent opportunity to acquire a fully built, fast-casual Mexican food franchise located in the highly desirable Coastal South Bay area of Los Angeles County. This concept offers a compelling combination of an established franchise model, a turnkey restaurant infrastructure, beer & wine service, and a strategic location within one of Southern California’s most attractive and affluent markets. The approximately 2,480-square-foot restaurant is already built and operationally configured for the franchise concept, allowing a qualified buyer to avoid the substantial cost, time, and uncertainty associated with developing a restaurant from the ground up. Key Investment Highlights • Fast-Casual Mexican Food Franchise • Coastal South Bay Los Angeles County location • Approximately 2,480 square feet • Rent: $14,800/month, including NNN • Beer & Wine license • Fully built restaurant infrastructure • Established franchise platform and brand recognition • Corporate training and support • Significant savings by avoiding new restaurant construction and build-out costs • Opportunity for an owner-operator to maximize operating efficiencies and profitability • Strong potential for local marketing, catering, delivery, takeout, and community outreach Turnkey Restaurant Opportunity One of the most significant advantages of this offering is the fully built restaurant. Restaurant construction costs can be substantial, particularly for a concept requiring commercial kitchen infrastructure, food-service equipment, dining areas, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, signage, and other improvements. A buyer acquiring this business can step into an existing restaurant environment rather than starting from a vacant shell. This represents a potentially significant savings in both capital expenditure and development time, while also reducing many of the risks associated with a new restaurant build-out. Franchise Support The franchise platform provides the benefit of an established operating system, brand standards, training, and corporate support. Corporate training can provide a new owner with the knowledge and tools necessary to operate the business effectively, even for a buyer who may be new to the particular concept. For an experienced restaurant operator, the existing infrastructure and franchise support can provide an opportunity to focus immediately on execution, customer acquisition, labor management, food-cost control, and revenue growth. Beer & Wine Opportunity The existing beer & wine license provides an additional revenue opportunity and enhances the restaurant's ability to serve a broader customer base. Beverage sales can also complement the food offering and potentially contribute to improved average check sizes and overall margins. Growth Potential The opportunity is particularly attractive for an owner-operator who can become more involved in day-to-day operations and focus on improving labor efficiency, food costs, customer service, and local marketing. Additional growth initiatives may include: • Increasing local digital and social-media marketing • Building relationships with nearby businesses and organizations • Expanding catering and group orders • Developing stronger delivery and online-ordering channels • Community and neighborhood marketing • Local promotional partnerships • Improving customer retention and repeat business • Leveraging the beer & wine component to increase check averages • Expanding operating hours where appropriate Location Advantage The Coastal South Bay is a highly desirable Southern California market with strong residential, commercial, and lifestyle demographics. The area's combination of established neighborhoods, consumer spending power, tourism and recreation, and year-round demand for convenient dining creates an attractive environment for a well-positioned fast-casual restaurant. Ideal Buyer This opportunity is well suited for: • An experienced restaurant operator seeking a turnkey location • An owner-operator looking for a franchise-backed concept • An existing restaurant operator seeking expansion • An investor seeking an established restaurant platform • A buyer who wants to avoid the significant cost and lengthy timeline of a new restaurant construction project Investment Rationale The value proposition is compelling: an established fast-casual Mexican food franchise, a fully built 2,480-square-foot restaurant, beer & wine licensing, corporate training and support, and a desirable Coastal South Bay location—without the need to undertake a costly ground-up restaurant build-out. For a qualified buyer, the ability to acquire an existing restaurant infrastructure can represent a substantial economic advantage compared with starting a new location. With the right ownership and execution, there is significant potential to build upon the existing platform through operational improvements, stronger local marketing, catering, delivery, and community engagement. This is an opportunity to acquire the infrastructure and franchise platform needed to operate and grow a Mexican fast-casual restaurant in one of Los Angeles County's most desirable coastal markets. All financial, lease, licensing, franchise, and operational information should be independently verified by the prospective purchaser during due diligence. Franchise purchase and operation are subject to franchisor approval and applicable franchise requirements.

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.
