The sale comes complete with a liquor license, a bar, a full kitchen, as well as a patio that alcohol can be served on. The venue is ideally located to cater the large number of nearby state and county employees, the student population, as well as the number of young professionals in the immediate area including attorneys, accountants and various types of consultants. The 1,500 square foot venue plus patio leases for $3,098 per month on a lease until August 31, 2028 with options to be negotiated. It is estimated that the venue can seat up to 30 patrons inside, with an additional 26 on the covered patio. The business’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and Type 47 Liquor License will be included in the sale. As a limited number of restaurants and entertainment venues exist in the highly popular area, competition is considered to be medium. The venue’s location lends itself to cater to a business lunch hour and happy hour crowd, as well as separate evening and night crowd, while its versatile layout lends itself to indoor and outdoor dining as well as take-out and delivery service. This restaurant and bar benefits from a proven concept with attractively low overhead. As a result, new management may wish to maintain the concept and operation ‘as is’ with modifications as they deep appropriate, or new management may wish to capitalize on the prime location, versatile layout, liquor license and outdoor patio to capitalize on the area’s popularity by implementing an alternate concept. Liquor could historically be served on the patio until 12 am on Friday and Saturday and 11 pm Sunday to Thursday. Liquor can be served inside until 2 am daily. These times, together with the space’s dimensions covered by the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and on file with the state Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) should be confirmed during diligence.

Established Franchise Food Prep Business
$ 50,000
This is a meal prep franchise specializing in quick and easy dinners designed with families in mind. This location is in an affluent part of the South Bay Area, California. Families get meals in three different ways. They can order online, selecting from a monthly menu of entrees. The team will prep, portion, and bag the meals, ready for the family to refrigerate or freeze. Alternatively, people can come into the store, and prep the meals themselves onsite, which allows for greater customization. Lastly, they can order meals to be delivered. Dream Dinners is a great place to gather and prep meals with neighborhood friends. The recipes are wide-ranging, with options that cook in under 30 minutes and no-mess pan meals that go straight in the oven. Each recipe includes easy-to-follow cooking instructions to make things simple. The owners each have full-time jobs and have been running this as a side business since day one. The efforts of both have finally become too much, and they are looking for a buyer who can invest their full time and energy into the business. A growth-minded buyer can take an active approach and build the business: advertise to local families and community groups, promote through social media, offer food prep classes, host creative parties and social events, and even rent out the space to other meal prep businesses to increase revenue. Alternatively, the space would work well for other well-established concepts that do not need to cook, as the facility has no grease traps or hoods. This is an opportunity waiting for a buyer to grow. The seller’s split attention is a buyer’s gain: they’ll get a $200k+ buildout for $50k, without the hassle of construction and permitting. If meal prep is your dream business, this could be the opportunity for you. Call the agent today!
