Established Fast Casual Restaurant With Good Customer Base In St. Louis County

Description

Restaurant for sale in West County. The business has operated from the same location for more than 25 years.

Business profile

• More than 25 years at the same location
• Existing local customer base
• Simple menu and operating model
• All restaurant equipment included
• Seller reports equipment is in good working condition

Kitchen and production capacity

The existing equipment has enough capacity to support more than the current restaurant operation.

A buyer could potentially use the location as a central kitchen or commissary to supply additional restaurants, retail outlets or other food operations.

Proprietary products

The business also has proprietary food products that were previously sold through local grocery stores.

The owner stopped pursuing this part of the business several years ago because of age and health considerations. A new owner could review whether those grocery relationships or packaged-product sales can be restarted.

Growth

• Restart grocery distribution
• Use the kitchen as a commissary or central production facility
• Open additional locations using the existing menu
• Increase local marketing
• Develop wholesale or packaged-food accounts

Due diligence

Buyers should verify historical financials, equipment ownership and condition, lease terms, proprietary recipes and intellectual property, prior grocery relationships, production capacity, staffing and any food-manufacturing or labeling requirements before closing.
