Description
A compelling turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, fully equipped fried chicken restaurant — completed in 2024 at a total investment of $600,000 — available at a fraction of replacement cost and ready to operate under your concept immediately.
The Opportunity
This space was purpose-built for fried chicken production and operated as a fried chicken restaurant before closing. The kitchen has been proven in real service conditions — the hood, grease trap, fryer configuration, and equipment layout were designed and used for exactly what you intend to do with it. The previous franchise agreement has been fully terminated — no brand encumbrances, no royalty obligations, no concept restrictions. A buyer steps in completely clean.
What makes this location uniquely compelling beyond the buildout is the lease structure. The building is owned by a principal in this transaction, meaning the lease is directly negotiable with the decision-maker — no third-party landlord approval process, no assignment risk, no uncertainty. A qualified buyer can negotiate terms directly and move to close faster than any traditional lease assumption scenario.
For an independent operator, emerging franchise, or established multi-unit franchisee looking to expand in the Twin Cities, this is an exceptional opportunity to bypass 6–12 months of permitting, construction, and buildout at $500,000–$600,000 in capital outlay. This space is built, equipped, and ready.
The Space
1,750 square feet of purpose-built quick-service restaurant space located at 9043 Broderick Blvd in Inver Grove Heights — a stable suburban market with a median household income exceeding $104,000 and a 5-mile trade area population approaching 95,000 residents with continued growth projected through 2029. The dining room seats 26 guests with a clean, modern finish. Minnesota Demographicsloopnet
