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.^^

Glendale, California
Top Rated Stylish European Restaurant
$ 1,900,000
CF : $ 815,221
The Business is an Italian fine casual restaurant known for its elevated European inspired cuisine and exceptional clientele. Since opening just over a year ago, it has quickly become one of the area’s most sought after dining destinations, earning a loyal and steadily growing customer base. Built with intention and executed with excellence, this concept has already proven itself. The restaurant features proprietary menus crafted with authenticity and creativity, a highly trained and dedicated staff, and strong community branding that has positioned it as a standout in the local dining scene. For an entrepreneur looking to step into a thriving operation without the challenges of building from the ground up, this is a rare opportunity. The current owner—an accomplished entrepreneur who has successfully launched two other businesses—recently welcomed a new addition to his family. With expanding personal commitments, he is ready to pass the baton to a motivated buyer who can continue the restaurant’s momentum and unlock its next stage of growth. This is a turnkey operation with all the foundations in place: a refined concept, a strong reputation, and a clientele that already loves what the restaurant delivers. The next owner will inherit not just a business, but a brand with genuine potential for long term success. The restaurant features a stunning French European interior design that has become its most powerful brand asset — consistently praised by guests as “the most beautiful restaurant in town.” It serves Italian fine-casual cuisine with a curated low-ABV craft cocktail program, specializing in celebrations, date nights, and private events. The restaurant seats approximately 85 guests (60 indoors, 25 patio) and currently operates at approximately a $2.5MM annual revenue run rate. The guest demographic skews approximately 70% women ages 22–40, making it the default destination for birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, and girls’ nights out in the Glendale market. The restaurant has cultivated approximately 25,000 Instagram followers with high organic engagement driven by user-generated content. THE MARKET The Business operates in the full-service restaurant industry, a resilient and growing sector driven by consumer demand for experiential dining. The restaurant is situated in Glendale, CA — a densely populated, affluent urban market within the greater Los Angeles metro area with a population exceeding 200,000 and significant surrounding daytime traffic. A significant macro-trend underpinning the business is the sober-curious movement. Per IWSR data, the low- and no-ABV beverage market exceeds $11 billion and has grown 30%+ over the past four years, with 41% of Americans actively trying to drink less. This Business is uniquely positioned as the only restaurant in its competitive set to offer a dedicated low-ABV craft cocktail program, directly serving this fast-growing consumer segment. DIFFERENTIATION The Business is the ONLY restaurant in the area that combines all five of the following attributes: (1) French-European interior design, (2) Italian fine-casual cuisine, (3) a low-ABV craft cocktail program, (4) a women-focused celebration culture, and (5) intimate 85-seat scale. No single competitor offers all five, making the positioning defensible and difficult to replicate. 1. Iconic Interior Design. The only European-designed Italian restaurant in Glendale. The interior is a true brand asset — Instagram-worthy and photogenic from every angle. The design generates significant organic social media exposure and is not replicable by competitors without substantial capital investment. 2. Unique Low-ABV Craft Cocktail Program. It is the only restaurant in its competitive set specializing in low-ABV cocktails, aligning with the booming sober-curious market ($11B+ and growing 30%+ over four years per IWSR). 3. Women-Focused Celebration Culture. Approximately 90% of clientele is women ages 22–40. It has become the default venue for bridal showers, birthdays, baby showers, and girls’ nights — a defensible niche requiring an authentic combination of design, menu, service, and ambiance. 4. Intimate Scale as a Premium Feature. At 85 seats, It offers an exclusive experience that larger competitors (Veranda at 200+ seats, Raffi’s at 250+) cannot match, commanding premium pricing for private events. 5. Prime Location & Social Media Presence. Approximately 25,000 Instagram followers with high engagement driven by user-generated content. ACQUISITION BENEFITS A buyer will acquire a turnkey, operational restaurant with an established brand, loyal customer base, and proven revenue stream (~$2.5MM annual run rate). Specific assets included in the acquisition are as follows: • A highly Instagrammable physical space — the European interior design is fully built out and is the restaurant’s #1 marketing asset • Established reservation pipeline through OpenTable and Yelp with strong review scores • Trained kitchen and front-of-house staff (16–19 total employees) • A private events business with repeat clientele for celebrations • All equipment, furniture, fixtures, and custom decor — including commercial kitchen equipment, bar setup, and design elements • Established vendor and supplier relationships for food, beverage, and operations • A curated menu and cocktail program developed and refined over the first year of operations • 25,000+ Instagram followers and an established social media brand • Existing 10-year lease with approximately 8 years remaining (~1,904 sq ft) • Option to include additional space ( ~1,210 sq ft) — a second location currently under construction across from the original, planned as a casual live-oven pizza concept under the same brand umbrella, with the same lease period. OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH The business has significant untapped revenue potential. Total addressable growth is estimated by the Owner at $1.8M–$2.3M in additional annual revenue, Key opportunities include: 1. Menu Repricing: Independent analysis shows that the menu is priced 15–30% below comparable competitors on key items. 2. Sunday Brunch Launch: No Italian/European brunch concept exists in Glendale at the same aesthetic tier. 3. Aperitivo Hour, 4–6 PM Daily: Currently a dead zone in operations. An Italian aperitivo concept fills this gap. 4. Private Events Expansion: Current pricing of ~$75/pp is significantly below market (competitors range $100–$185/pp). 5. Corporate Catering: Glendale and Burbank are home to DreamWorks, Netflix, Warner Bros., and Disney-adjacent offices. 6. Pizza Expansion: A second location is currently under construction across from the current restaurant, planned as a casual live-oven pizza concept. 7. Increased Weekday Occupancy: Current average occupancy is ~55%. Targeted marketing, events programming, and recurring weekly events could push occupancy to 70%+.
