Description
Prime Location & Growth Potential
Positioned on a highly visible corner unit with inviting outdoor seating, this location benefits from steady daily traffic and excellent co-tenancy. Even more compelling, it sits adjacent to Wildlight, a massive master-planned community currently in the early stages of development. As Wildlight expands, it will bring thousands of new residents, creating a substantial and growing customer base right at the doorstep.
A second territory (a 20,000-dollar value) encompassing Fernandina Beach's Historic Areas is included
The opportunity includes a second franchise territory that encompasses the charming and historic area of Fernandina Beach — a popular destination for both locals and tourists. This expansion potential adds a valuable long-term growth dimension to the acquisition. Attractive Asset Value The store comes equipped with approximately $284,526 in leasehold improvements $110,351 in equipment, and $12,000 of inventory, offering a modern, fully built-out operation without the time and expense of starting from scratch.
NEARBY FERNANDINA BEACH HISTORIC DISTRICT TERRITORY IS INDLUDED:
The current offering also includes the rights to the nearby Fernandina Beach Historic District.
Fernandina Beach’s walkable, historic downtown is one of Northeast Florida’s most vibrant destinations, known for its Victorian architecture, boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and year-round festivals. The district attracts steady foot traffic from both locals and tourists, creating an ideal environment for a treat-focused, impulse-driven concept like Rita’s.
The area’s pedestrian-friendly layout and high visitor density naturally lend themselves to quick-service dessert stops, and a Rita’s location would integrate seamlessly into the lively downtown experience. Launching a second shop in this market would allow a new owner to capture a built-in customer base, expand regional brand visibility, and create powerful cross-location marketing opportunities alongside the existing Yulee store.
