Absentee-Run 2-Unit Subway Portfolio – Strong Cash Flow
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire two absentee-run Subway franchise locations generating strong, reliable cash flow in high-traffic Orange County corridors. This is a true hands-off investment backed by one of the most recognizable food brands in the world.
Business Overview
This established 2-unit Subway portfolio operates inside busy shopping centers with consistent foot traffic and built-in brand demand. Both locations are fully staffed and run without day-to-day owner involvement, making this an ideal opportunity for an investor seeking predictable income rather than a job. However, an owner-operator could also enter the business and increase margins significantly.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: $829K
- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $110K
- Gross Margins: Strong and consistent, averaging ~75%
Operations Overview
These locations are designed for simplicity and scale. The current owner is not involved in daily operations, and the business continues to run smoothly even when the owner is completely unavailable. Staffing is in place, systems are standardized through the Subway franchise model, and inventory is current and salable. No special licensing is required to acquire the business.
The restaurants benefit from:
- Proven Subway operating systems
- National brand recognition and built-in customer demand
- Shopping center locations with strong foot traffic
- Landlords open to working with a qualified buyer
Reason for Sale
The owner is shifting focus to other business interests and is ready to pass on a stable, cash-flowing asset to the next owner.
Growth Opportunities
- Catering expansion to nearby offices, schools, and community events
- Increased local outreach and store-level execution
- Hands-on owner-operator could further improve margins
Ideal Buyer Profile
This opportunity is perfect for an investor or portfolio buyer seeking dependable cash flow with minimal operational complexity, or a semi-absentee owner looking to step into a proven franchise system with scale already in place.
