Description
Financial performance remains solid, with healthy gross margins and reliable cash flow generation. Updated 2025 results reinforce the business’s ability to operate profitably despite inflationary pressures affecting labor, food costs, and occupancy expenses. SDE remains strong relative to the valuation of $515,000, presenting an attractive return profile for an owner-operator or a buyer seeking a financeable, stabilized hospitality asset with meaningful upside.
Preliminary lender discussions indicate the business qualifies for SBA financing in excess of the asking price for qualified buyers. This level of financeability provides confidence in both the earnings strength and underwriting viability of the operation, while creating a substantial equity cushion relative to the entry price.
The transaction includes full rights to the Starvin Marvin brand name, logo, trade dress, and restaurant operating identity, with one geographic or expansion restriction into Gaithersburg. The buyer will have the ability to operate and expand the concept into additional locations without royalty obligations. The proprietary Mambo Sauce intellectual property is not included in the sale and will remain owned by the seller’s wholesale entity; however, the restaurant will continue to source the sauce under a supply arrangement to preserve product consistency and brand continuity.
Operationally, the business benefits from streamlined systems, an experienced team to help with transition, and a manageable footprint that allows ownership to focus on growth initiatives rather than turnaround efforts. The seller has proactively begun transitioning staffing from family-member involvement to trained non-family employees to ensure operational continuity and transferability. This reduces dependency risk and enhances lender comfort.
The business operates under a long-term triple-net lease extending through December 31, 2033, providing location stability and eliminating near-term renewal uncertainty. The tenant maintains a strong compliance history and a cooperative landlord relationship, supporting a smoother transition for a qualified buyer.
To facilitate alignment and reduce upfront capital requirements, the seller is offering up to 10% seller financing. The seller will also provide 21 days of structured post-sale transition support and is willing to remain under an employment agreement for an extended period if desired by the buyer or required by SBA underwriting.
Overall, this offering represents more than a single-location resale. It is the acquisition of a proven restaurant brand with transferable goodwill, stable cash flow, expansion capability, and lender-backed valuation support — positioned at a competitive entry point for a buyer seeking both security and scalability.
The real estate component adds further stability. The business operates under a long-term triple-net lease extending through December 31, 2033, providing location continuity and eliminating near-term lease renewal risk. While landlord approval is required for assignment, the tenant has a strong compliance history and a cooperative landlord relationship, which supports a smoother transition for a qualified buyer.
To facilitate a transaction and align incentives, the seller is offering up to 10% seller financing, lowering the buyer’s required cash at closing and signaling confidence in the ongoing performance of the business. The opening bid of $450,000 represents a meaningful reset relative to prior pricing expectations and positions the business attractively against comparable market opportunities.
Overall, this is a compelling acquisition for a buyer seeking a proven operation with steady cash flow, long-term site stability, and a reasonable entry point—without the uncertainty typically associated with early-stage or distressed restaurant assets.

Well-Known Japanese Restaurant with ABC Type 47 License
$ 1,100,000
Established and well-known Japanese restaurant in Woodland Hills, popular with locals and visitors alike. Prime location in a highly visible freestanding building on a major street in the center of the community.
Anaheim, California
Restaurant Space – Alcohol License Included / Sushi Restaurant / Asset Sale
$ 115,000
This is an excellent Asset Sale opportunity for a Japanese sushi restaurant located in a prime Anaheim commercial corridor. This is not a traditional business sale where the buyer takes over the existing business operations. Instead, the buyer will acquire the restaurant’s equipment, interior improvements, kitchen systems, and infrastructure, allowing them to immediately launch their own brand and concept in a fully built-out restaurant space. The current owner has operated the business since February 2020 and has decided to sell due to retirement. The restaurant is approximately 1,235 square feet with seating for about 43 guests. The space is cozy, clean, and well maintained. The business is currently operated by the husband and wife owners along with one dishwasher, and monthly gross sales are approximately $21,000. Rent is currently $2,528 Base Rent + $1,403 CAM with annual increases of 3%. Approximately 3.6 years remain on the current lease; however, the new buyer will need to negotiate and sign a new lease with the landlord. The security deposit is approximately equal to one month’s rent. Although the restaurant is relatively small, it has built a loyal local customer base thanks to its clean atmosphere and quality food. The restaurant also maintains a strong Uber Eats rating of 4.7 stars with excellent customer feedback regarding fresh fish, reasonable portions, and a clean, modern dining environment. Most importantly, the location is outstanding. The restaurant is situated on a major arterial road with strong street exposure and excellent signage visibility. It also benefits from heavy traffic generated by Disneyland visitors and Honda Center event traffic. The surrounding area features high population density, stable middle-to-upper income demographics, and strong tourism and entertainment demand. Additionally, the OC Vibe development project, scheduled to open in phases between 2026 and 2029, is expected to significantly increase future foot traffic and commercial activity in the area. The restaurant is currently operating as a sushi restaurant, but because this is an Asset Sale, the new buyer may bring in their own brand name, menu, and restaurant concept. If desired, the buyer may continue using the current business name, but it is not required. The kitchen already includes an installed grease trap, and the sale also includes an alcohol license, making this a highly flexible opportunity for many different restaurant concepts including sushi, Japanese cuisine, Korean food, cafés, fusion concepts, and more. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to save substantial build-out and kitchen construction costs while opening quickly in a strong Anaheim location. Financial Option: Full Cash Only
