This is a rare, turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, fully equipped fried chicken restaurant at a fraction of replacement cost — ready to operate under your concept in weeks, not months.
The Opportunity
The space was completed just six months ago at a total investment of $600,000. Every system, surface, and piece of equipment is essentially new. The previous franchise agreement has been terminated, leaving no brand encumbrances, no royalty obligations, and no restrictions on concept — a buyer steps in completely clean and builds their own vision in a space that's already done.
For an independent operator, emerging franchise, or established multi-unit franchisee looking to expand, this represents an exceptional shortcut. A comparable buildout in today's market would take 6–12 months to permit, construct, and equip, at a cost of $500,000–$600,000 or more. This space is done. The kitchen is built. The infrastructure is in place. You're buying time and capital.
The Space
1,950 square feet of purpose-built quick-service restaurant space located in Woodbury City Center on Donegal Drive — a bustling, high-traffic retail corridor in one of the Twin Cities' most affluent and fastest-growing suburbs. The dining room seats 46 guests with a clean, modern finish.
The Kitchen
Built specifically for high-volume fried chicken production:

Two (2) Henny Penny double-bay pressure fryers — the gold standard for commercial fried chicken operations, essentially new
10-foot hood with Ansul fire suppression system, fully intact and current
8x8 walk-in cooler
Three-door reach-in freezer
In-floor grease trap
Full smallwares package included

Henny Penny double-bay pressure fryers alone represent $30,000–$50,000 in equipment value at current replacement cost. This kitchen is ready to produce on day one.
Technology & Infrastructure

Toast POS system included
Complete network infrastructure in place
DVR security system intact
All cabling and back-of-house systems operational

The Market
Woodbury is one of Minnesota's fastest-growing cities with a population approaching 80,000 and a median household income well above state and national averages. The Donegal Drive corridor is an established retail destination anchored by national tenants including a 24-hour Walgreens directly across the street. Nearly 40% of Woodbury households have children under 18 — the core demographic for QSR fried chicken concepts. This is a market that supports and sustains food and beverage operators.
The Lease
The existing lease has a 10-year term with significant time remaining. Lease assumption is available to qualified buyers subject to landlord approval. Rent details are available to serious, qualified buyers under NDA. This is not a month-to-month or short-term situation — a buyer secures long-term occupancy in an established retail center from day one.
No Franchise Obligations
The previous franchise agreement is fully terminated. There are no royalties, no marketing fees, no brand standards, and no franchisor approvals required. The buyer operates entirely under their own concept, brand, and business model.
Additional Locations Available
Two additional turnkey fried chicken restaurants with identical specifications are available in Edina and Inver Grove Heights for operators seeking a multi-unit opportunity in the Twin Cities market. Each location is independently available or available as a portfolio.
Summary
$600,000 buildout. Six months old. No franchise obligations. 10-year lease. Ready to operate.
If you are a fried chicken franchise looking for a turnkey entry into the Twin Cities, an independent operator ready to launch, or a multi-unit franchisee looking to expand efficiently — this opportunity deserves your immediate attention.
Signage excluded. Lease assumption subject to landlord approval. Additional details and financials available to qualified buyers under NDA.
