A compelling turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, fully equipped fried chicken restaurant — completed in April 2025 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 1,100 square foot space was purpose-built as a takeout-focused fried chicken operation — a format that is perfectly aligned with today's QSR market trends in delivery, ghost kitchen, and off-premise dining growth. The kitchen was designed and operated for maximum production efficiency in a compact, high-output footprint. The previous franchise agreement has been fully terminated — no brand encumbrances, no royalty obligations, no concept restrictions. A buyer steps in completely clean.
For an operator looking to launch or expand a takeout or delivery-forward concept, this space eliminates 6–12 months of permitting, construction, and buildout at $500,000–$600,000 in capital investment. The infrastructure is in place. The kitchen is proven. Walk in and operate.
The Space
1,100 square feet of purpose-built quick-service restaurant space located at 5125 Edina Industrial Blvd — situated in the Southdale trade area, just off Highway 100 at the heavily trafficked intersection of Edina Industrial Boulevard and 77th Street. Takeout-only format with no dining room — purpose-built for delivery, pickup, and off-premise volume. Edina is one of the Twin Cities' most affluent markets with a median household income of $128,767 and a per capita income of $93,210 — more than double the national average. LoopNet + 2
The Kitchen
Built for high-volume fried chicken production with an exceptional equipment package:

Two (2) Henny Penny double-bay, high-capacity 90 lb vat pressure fryers — commercial fried chicken's gold standard, lightly used
Double-sided make line — purpose-built for high-volume order assembly and speed of service
10-foot hood with fire suppression system, fully intact and current
6x6 walk-in cooler
In-floor grease trap
Full smallwares package included

The two Henny Penny 90 lb vat fryers alone represent $60,000–$80,000 in equipment value at current replacement cost. This is a production kitchen built to handle serious volume.
Technology & Infrastructure

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

The Lease
Nine years remaining on a 10-year lease — one of the strongest lease positions available in the Twin Cities market. A buyer secures nearly a full decade of occupancy in an established, high-income Edina trade area from day one. Lease assumption available to qualified buyers with landlord approval. Terms available under NDA.
No Franchise Obligations
The previous franchise agreement is fully terminated. No royalties, no marketing fees, no brand standards, no franchisor approvals. The buyer operates entirely under their own concept and business model from day one.
Additional Locations Available
Two additional turnkey fried chicken restaurants are available in Woodbury and Inver Grove Heights for operators seeking multi-unit presence across the Twin Cities market. Each location is available independently or as part of a portfolio acquisition.
Summary
$600,000 buildout. One year old. 9 years remaining on lease. Takeout-forward format. Henny Penny 90 lb vat fryers. No franchise obligations. Ready to operate.
