Turnkey, Fully Equipped DineIn/Delivery/Catering/Event Hall Restaurant


Asking Price: $175,000

Asset Sale Description
A fully equipped, permitted and trading full-service Indian restaurant facility on the Quakerbridge Road corridor in Lawrence Township, Mercer County, offered as a business asset sale at $175,000 including the inventory and operating supplies on hand at settlement. The purchaser acquires a recently renovated ±3,325 SF restaurant in a Costco-adjacent neighborhood center, an assignable lease to August 31, 2029 with a five-year option to 2034, and the opportunity to operate it under its own name or under separately negotiated brand terms.
(1) A TRADE AREA FEW RESTAURANT SITES CAN MATCH — The center sits directly adjacent to Costco Wholesale, which drives weekend and evening traffic across the node, and an Indian grocery in the same center acts as a demand co-anchor that pre-qualifies the customer walking past the door. Quakerbridge Road carries 27,501 vehicles a day and U.S. Route 1, under a mile away, 117,734. Roughly 33,000 Asian-Indian residents live in the immediate ring, led by West Windsor and Plainsboro three to seven miles northeast.
(2) A RENOVATED, PERMITTED, TRADING FACILITY — Feature-gable storefront; recently renovated front of house — faux-marble pedestal tables, upholstered seating, signature rattan-disc pendant lighting, two self-order kiosks, digital menu boards, Square POS and a curved-glass refrigerated bakery and sweets display. Full cooking line with tandoor, hooded ventilation, walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer. Sanitary inspection Satisfactory (March 2026); fire certificates current. Back-of-house deferred maintenance is disclosed so a purchaser can price it. Seating ±30–36 against a maximum-occupancy placard of 71; 235 parking spaces.
(3) SIGNIFICANT LATENT CAPACITY — THE ±50-SEAT REAR ROOM — Roughly half the floor plate is not earning. A rear room of about fifty seats is out of service and used for storage; it is delivered vacant at closing unless the purchaser elects otherwise. A new owner can restore it to banquet, party and catering use in a trade area with growing event demand, or sublet it on documented arm's-length terms to offset occupancy cost. This is an identified, unrealized opportunity — not present earnings. Neither path is in operation or reflected in any figure here, and neither is represented, projected or guaranteed; realization depends on landlord consent, permitted use, occupancy and health approvals, and the purchaser's execution.
(4) WHAT CONVEYS — AND WHAT DOES NOT — A leasehold asset sale, not the sale of a going-concern business or of a brand. FF&E, leasehold improvements, inventory at settlement, the lease (subject to landlord consent) and transferable phone numbers, domains and delivery-platform listings convey, and the purchaser may offer employment to the at-will staff. The trade name and brand systems are owned by an affiliated licensor and do not convey — a purchaser may negotiate a franchise or licence directly with the licensor or rebrand with the landlord's sign-off. No liquor licence. Cash, receivables and debt stay with the Seller; no continuation of revenue, earnings or traffic is represented.
(5) DEAL ECONOMICS — Asset Sale (debt-free, cash-free). Asking $175,000 including inventory at settlement. Lease to 8/31/2029 plus a five-year option to 8/31/2034, assignment subject to landlord consent. The Seller has indicated a willingness to consider seller financing on commercially reasonable terms, at its sole discretion; SBA 7(a) financing may be available to qualified purchasers subject to lender requirements and the remaining lease term. A hands-on transition is negotiated in the purchase agreement. Confidential sale — do not contact ownership or staff.

About the Sale
Transition Support
The owners will provide a hands-on transition covering daily operations, recipes and prep methods, vendor relationships and staff introductions, with the length and scope agreed in the purchase agreement. The experienced kitchen and front-of-house team may be retained by the buyer. Transferable phone numbers, domains, delivery-platform listings with their review history, permits and health-department standing convey to the extent transferable. Lease assignment is handled directly with the landlord, with CRE Resources supporting the consent package at no charge. The restaurant currently operates under a licensed brand owned by an affiliate: a buyer may continue under that brand by arrangement with the licensor (introduction provided) or operate under its own name with landlord sign-off. After NDA, qualified buyers receive the Confidential Information Memorandum, financial package, lease abstract, equipment schedule and staffing details through our secure buyer portal.
Seller Motivation
Ownership is pursuing other business interests.
