Womens Clothing Accessory Boutique - Upscale
$ 210,000
CF : $ 80,000
Upscale, charming, unique, variety, and delightful, are words that come to mind when visiting this well established womens boutique, located in one of the most enjoyable shopping villages in California.

Locals alike are aware that this is the place to find the popular and sought after brands being represented.
Pacific Grove, California
Men's Curated Retail Boutique - Monterey Peninsula
$ 100,000
A rare opportunity to acquire an established men’s retail boutique on the Monterey Peninsula — one of California’s most desirable coastal markets. This is an asset sale for a business in an active stage of growth, with a loyal customer base already in place, a prime Pacific Grove location, and a brand identity that took years to build and would be nearly impossible to replicate from scratch. The business sources limited-run, globally curated menswear from independent vendors around the world, offering customers pieces they simply won’t find anywhere else. A personalized, high-touch shopping experience has built strong word-of-mouth and consistent repeat traffic. Revenue has grown every year since opening in late 2023, reaching over $40,000 in 2025 — all without a formal marketing program. Note: In December 2025, the business incurred significant one-time expenses to open a second Monterey location, which has since been closed. These costs appear in the 2025 financials but do not reflect the ongoing expense structure of this location. The Pacific Grove operation is the core business being offered here. The store occupies approximately 800 square feet in a prime downtown Pacific Grove address under a favorable lease expiring in 2028 — $1,225 per month, all utilities included, no NNN. One part-time employee is in place. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, vendor relationships, a live e-commerce store, social media accounts, and branding assets. The sellers are available for a transition period. Growth upside is significant and straightforward: no marketing program currently exists, e-commerce has room to scale, and in-store events and expanded vendor relationships are natural next steps for a new owner ready to put energy behind a strong foundation. Inventory is in addition to the purchase price, estimated at approximately $40,000 at cost. NDA required. Full financials available to qualified buyers.

Nail Salon - 27 Years Established, Small Strip
$ 45,000

The salon is tastefully decorated and includes two small rooms for waxing or facials, as well as a large back room for supplies and relaxation.

Monterey County, California
Iconic Waterfront Dining Destination with Legacy Lease — SBA Pre-Qualified
$ 2,395,000
CF : $ 590,180
Rare opportunity to acquire a landmark, high-revenue restaurant in a premier Monterey-area waterfront destination. This is an irreplaceable setting that benefits from constant tourist activity and strong local loyalty throughout the year. The business generates approximately $3.8M in annual revenue with adjusted owner cash flow near $600K, reflecting consistent, reliable operating performance across multiple years. Pricing reflects both the earnings and the irreplaceable long-term lease asset. The listing is SBA pre-qualified, and we can make lender introductions for qualified buyers. A major competitive advantage is the lease structure. The restaurant operates under a long-term legacy lease with roughly 15 years remaining, at occupancy costs of about three percent of revenue — well below typical market rates for comparable coastal restaurant locations. Terms like these are no longer offered and cannot be replicated. The savings versus market rent compound over the life of the lease, representing significant value beyond the operating cash flow alone. This long-established full-service restaurant includes a Type 47 full liquor license, seating for 150+ 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. An experienced staff and management team are in place to support a smooth transition. The owner is retiring after four decades of successful operation and is committed to providing training and support through the transition. 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 at cost. Shown confidentially to qualified buyers. NDA and proof of funds required. Contact Carmel Business Sales today for more information.
