HS Listing ID-71479

Fully built-out, freestanding restaurant opportunity located in Maryland, directly bordering Southeast Washington, D.C. The business sits in a highly visible, high-traffic corridor just minutes from Commanders Stadium and within one of the most densely populated trade areas in the region.

The concept was founded as a family legacy restaurant and quickly gained strong traction in the local market, generating approximately $24,000 to $25,000 per week in gross sales within its first six months of operation, despite having no delivery integration or third-party marketing systems in place.

The business features a substantial parking lot accommodating approximately 20 to 25 vehicles, a rare advantage in the immediate market. The location is freestanding and positioned only two signal lights from Southeast D.C., creating strong accessibility and visibility.

History & Circumstances of Sale

The restaurant officially opened in early 2025 following an investment exceeding $400,000 into the buildout, equipment, infrastructure, and systems. All major components were newly installed, including:

* HVAC systems

* Walk-in cooler

* Commercial kitchen equipment

* Restaurant fixtures and furnishings

* Plumbing and electrical upgrades

* POS and operational systems

Shortly after opening, the owner became ill. Due to the unforeseen medical circumstances and eventual passing of the founder, day-to-day operations became difficult to manage. The business continued operating temporarily through employees and management staff, but ownership was unable to remain fully active in the operation.

The business ultimately ceased operations in March 2026, not due to lack of demand or poor market performance.

Market Opportunity

This opportunity is ideally suited for:

* Experienced restaurant operators

* Franchise groups

* Multi-unit food operators

* Ghost kitchen operators

* Investors seeking a second-generation restaurant location

* Buyers looking for a prime D.C. metro food-service location with minimal startup buildout costs

The business demonstrated strong early demand with minimal marketing efforts and no participation in delivery platforms such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub. Ownership believes significant upside remains available through:

* Delivery integration

* Expanded operating systems

* Digital marketing

* Catering services

* Extended branding opportunities

* Franchise or multi-unit expansion

Real Estate & Lease

The property operates under a long-term lease structure with approximately 15 years remaining. Current rent is approximately $7,300 per month, significantly below replacement market rates for comparable freestanding restaurant properties in the area.

Ownership believes a new operator may potentially negotiate favorable introductory lease terms with the landlord to assist during ramp-up operations.

Competitive Advantages

* Prime Washington D.C. border location

* Freestanding building with dedicated parking

* Near major traffic generators and stadium corridor

* Fully equipped commercial kitchen

* Over $400,000 invested into infrastructure and buildout

* Strong historical opening sales performance

* Rare turnkey restaurant opportunity

* Established local brand recognition

* Significant growth upside through delivery and modern marketing systems

Transaction Structure

This is being offered primarily as an asset sale. Ownership is realistic regarding valuation and understands the business is currently non-operational. The goal is to transition the location and assets to a qualified operator capable of maximizing the location’s full potential.

Additional financials, equipment details, photos, lease information, and operational data will be provided to qualified buyers upon request and execution of confidentiality documentation.
