Dominant Seafood Boil Restaurant at Potomac Mills
Business Description
Strong growth opportunity! Established in 2021, this modern turnkey seafood boil restaurant is strategically located in Woodbridge’s highly desirable Potomac Mills trade area with excellent visibility, strong traffic counts, and ample parking. The restaurant operates from approximately 4,000 SF and has recently experienced significant sales growth following the closure of a major competing seafood boil concept nearby, positioning the business as one of the area’s primary seafood boil destinations.
Recent sales trends indicate the business is currently operating at an annualized revenue pace potentially exceeding $2 million, following significant market consolidation in the immediate trade area.
The business features a professionally built-out full-service restaurant with a modern dining room, full commercial kitchen, 14-foot hood system, fryers, walk-in refrigeration, prep stations, and substantial FF&E already in place. Recreating a comparable restaurant in today’s market could easily exceed $1 million and require 18–24 months of construction, permitting, and stabilization time.
One of the strongest aspects of this opportunity is the below-market occupancy cost, with total rent currently approximately $8,300/month for the entire 4,000 SF facility, creating a major long-term competitive advantage in today’s restaurant environment.
The restaurant is currently operating under semi-absentee ownership with experienced staff in place. Seller reports recent substantial increases in revenue and customer traffic, with weekend sales becoming especially strong. Labor costs currently remain highly efficient relative to sales volume, while additional staffing capacity allows continued operational growth.
This opportunity may be ideal for an owner-operator, restaurant group, or investor seeking an established, scalable restaurant concept with strong upside potential in a growing Northern Virginia market. Seller financing available for qualified buyers.

- Facilities & Assets
- Turnkey 4,000 SF restaurant built in 2021 near Potomac Mills Mall. Modern dining area, full kitchen with 14’ hood, fryers, refrigeration, and prep stations. Excellent condition with contemporary build-out. Replacing this today could exceed $1M and take 18–24 months. Prime location, low rent, and ready for immediate operation. The original built out cost was over $700K
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Strategically located in the highly trafficked Potomac Mills trade area, surrounded by major national retailers, hotels, residential growth, and strong daily consumer traffic. The business has recently benefited from significant market consolidation following the closure of a major competing seafood boil restaurant in the immediate area, resulting in substantial increases in customer traffic and sales volume. Combined with its below-market occupancy cost, established customer base, and modern turnkey build-out, the restaurant is now positioned as one of the dominant seafood boil concepts serving the Woodbridge market.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business is currently operated under semi-absentee ownership with experienced staff already in place. A more hands-on owner-operator could potentially further improve operational efficiency, customer engagement, and profitability. Recent market changes and increased customer traffic have created substantial momentum for continued growth.
Additional upside opportunities include expanding catering services, strengthening third-party delivery channels, developing weekday lunch traffic, increasing social media marketing, and building local corporate and community partnerships. With its strong sales trajectory, modern infrastructure, favorable lease economics, and established market presence, this concept may also serve as an excellent platform for future multi-unit expansion throughout the Greater Washington, DC metropolitan area.
