Dominant 3-Unit Madison Portfolio & Strategic Growth Opportunity
Business Description
High-Barrier Entry with Prime Regional Development Potential
Acquire a dominant footprint in the Madison MSA with this turnkey 3-unit American restaurant portfolio offering rare high-barrier entry opportunity in a sold-out franchise territory.
BUILT FOR SUCCESS:
Established in 2022, these strategically positioned locations capture high-density retail traffic and the University of Wisconsin-Madison market. The streamlined no-fryer/no-hood operational model reduces insurance costs, simplifies labor management, and preserves long-term asset value.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
• Annual Sales: $2,004,906
• EBITDA: $228,325
• Modern 2022 builds with turnkey equipment
• Strong upward momentum in top-tier market
STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES:
• Sold-out territory creates high barriers to entry
• Prime positioning near Epic Systems and UW-Madison
• Established customer base in health-conscious market
• Full franchise support from brand (now Blackstone-backed)
• Health-conscious better-for-you menu model
• No heavy cooking infrastructure required
OWNER MOTIVATION:
Current owner operates remotely (2.5 hours away), creating operational inefficiencies. This presents an ideal opportunity for a local or hands-on operator to maximize EBITDA through tighter management oversight.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITY:
Positioned in Wisconsin's fastest-growing economic engine with continued market maturation potential for the newly built locations. The franchise territory exclusivity provides protected market position.
This represents more than a cash flow acquisition - it's a strategic platform in Wisconsin's premier economic market with modern infrastructure already in place and structured leadership transition support included.
