Semi-Absentee Multi-Unit Franchise – $254K SDE, Manager in Place
Asking Price
$590,000
Revenue
$1,204,356
Down
Call/Email
Cash Flow
$233,763
Description
Established two-unit franchise portfolio of a nationally recognized, made-to-order specialty donut brand, located in two affluent coastal Orange County, California trade areas. Combined trailing revenue of approximately $1.2M, a two-year average Adjusted SDE of ~$254K, and ~$202K Adjusted EBITDA on an absentee basis.
A single full-time General Manager runs both stores and has committed to staying post-close — a rare true semi-absentee opportunity at this price point where a passive investor does not need to work in the business. Manager compensation is fully reflected in operating expenses, so there is no replacement cost to the buyer.
Both units operate well above the franchise's national average unit volume per the current FDD. Direct landlord leases at competitive rates with options extending control into the early 2030s. The franchisor has agreed to assign the existing franchise agreements and waive renewal fees. Asset sale, no transferred liabilities, eight-plus years of operating history. Not a distressed sale — owner is reallocating capital to other businesses.
Financing — please read before inquiring: Offered on a cash or seller-financed basis and is NOT an SBA transaction. Buyers requiring SBA or bank financing are not a fit. For a qualified buyer, the seller will carry 25% with a 75% buyer down payment at close; all-cash welcome and may receive preference.
Buyer Qualification Requirements:
Cash to close: minimum 75% down (~$442,500); plan ~$525K–$545K total including closing costs and working capital.
Net worth: minimum $150,000 per the franchisor's current FDD; liquidity sufficient to close without bank financing.
Experience & approvals: buyer must qualify with the franchisor and both landlords (each requires net worth/liquidity at least equal to the current tenant, plus restaurant/retail operating capability) and provide a personal guaranty on the leases. Food-service/QSR experience preferred.
To move forward: signed personal financial statement and proof of funds required before any confidential details, financials, or site visits.
Brand, locations, equipment list, and store-level financials disclosed to prequalified buyers after NDA. All inquiries through the broker.
