Turnkey fast casual Mediterranean and Persian café opportunity in Jacksonville, FL. This operational Halal restaurant is located in a standalone building with dedicated parking and approximately 1,682 SF of space. The restaurant features a fully built-out kitchen, dining area with seating for approximately 35 guests, and an established customer base with repeat business already in place.

The business currently generates approximately $348,000 in annualized gross sales (approximately $29,000 monthly in 2025). Current ownership is focused on other business ventures, creating an opportunity for a hands-on operator or experienced restaurateur to improve efficiencies and grow the business further.

The sale includes the existing buildout, furniture, fixtures, equipment, recipes, and operational infrastructure, all offered at a price significantly below replacement cost. Major assets include a walk-in cooler/freezer, commercial hood and fire suppression system, 6-burner gas stove, sandwich prep cooler, refrigerated bakery display cases, fryer, salamander, dough equipment, gyro broiler, ice maker, security system, tables, chairs, and additional kitchen equipment.

The property also includes an existing drive-thru component that is currently boarded up but may offer future upside potential for a qualified operator.

Current rent is approximately $3,750 per month, with the landlord potentially willing to provide a new long-term lease at approximately $3,500 per month including NNN charges, subject to terms and approval. Seller states the landlord has been cooperative and supportive of the business.

Growth opportunities may include expanded operating hours, breakfast service, reactivation of the drive-thru, operational efficiencies, marketing improvements, and potential beer and wine sales subject to landlord and licensing approvals. Current operating hours are limited, providing additional upside for an active operator.

The restaurant operates in a niche segment with limited direct Persian cuisine competition in the immediate market area. Seller states the previous restaurant at this location performed successfully before relocating to a larger space.

Growth & Expension:
- Reactivate existing drive-thru component
- Extend operating hours and add breakfast service
- Increase operational efficiencies under experienced restaurant ownership
- Expand marketing and delivery presence
- Potential beer and wine sales subject to approvals
- Current owners operate multiple businesses and have limited ability to focus on day-to-day restaurant operations
- Current operations are near break-even after seller compensation, allowing a new operator to build from an existing customer base rather than starting from zero
