Absentee-Run Drive-Through Coffee Shop | Strong Growth | Long-Lease
Business Description
Turnkey Drive-Through Coffee Shop with Immediate Upside for an Owner-Operator
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing drive-through coffee shop with consistent year-over-year revenue growth and a secure long-term lease, currently operated absentee.
Financial Performance (Growing Every Year)
• 2023 Revenue: $418,794
• 2024 Revenue: $454,063
• 2025 Revenue: $522,330
Sales momentum is strong, showing clear demand and operational stability.
Operations
• Currently absentee-operated
• Well-trained staff in place
• Streamlined drive-through model with minimal footprint
• Ideal for semi-passive ownership or hands-on optimization
Major Upside for an Owner-Operator
This business is an excellent owner-operator opportunity with significant margin improvement potential:
• Food Cost: ~40%
o Industry benchmark for coffee shops is 25%–30%, leaving room to optimize purchasing, waste, and menu mix.
• Labor Cost: ~33% of revenue
o Industry average is 25%–28%, creating immediate savings potential for an engaged owner.
An owner-operator can meaningfully increase cash flow by tightening controls and reducing reliance on management labor.
Lease Highlights (Extremely Secure)
• Current Rent: $3,410/month
• Lease Term Remaining: Over 21 years including options
• Options: Four (4) additional 5-year options
Scheduled Rent Increases:
• 1st Option: $3,751/month
• 2nd Option: $4,126/month
• 3rd & 4th Options: Fair Market Value (not less than Lease Years 16–20)
This long runway provides stability rarely found in food & beverage businesses.
Why This Business Stands Out
• Proven and growing revenue stream
• Absentee operation already in place
• Drive-through model with strong demand
• Long-term lease security
• Clear path to higher profitability for owner-operators
Perfect for a first-time buyer, hands-on operator, or investor looking for a business with both stability and upside.
