This is an opportunity to acquire an established fast-casual franchise restaurant operating in Federal Way, Washington. The business is fully built out, staffed, and operational, offering a turnkey entry into a proven fast-casual concept with an existing customer base and established systems.

The restaurant operates under The Chopped Leaf, a well-known Canadian fast-casual brand that has experienced significant growth in recent years. At the time this location entered the franchise system, the brand operated approximately 15 locations in Canada. Since then, the brand has expanded rapidly, with approximately 150 opened and committed locations projected by late 2025 to early 2026, reflecting strong consumer demand and continued expansion in its core markets.

This location is currently the first and only U.S. store, positioning it as a unique entry point for the brand into the United States. Given its location in Western Washington, near the Canadian border, the restaurant benefits from regional familiarity with the brand and serves as a natural transition market between Canada and the U.S.

The restaurant specializes in fresh, customizable menu options that appeal to health-conscious consumers and support repeat customer traffic. Systems for daily operations, online ordering, and third-party delivery are already in place, allowing a new owner to step into an established operational framework rather than build from the ground up.

The location is fully equipped with all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) necessary to operate the business. The restaurant layout supports efficient service, streamlined preparation, and a consistent customer experience aligned with brand standards. The business operates from a leased space; real estate is not included in the sale.

As a franchised business, the buyer will receive standard franchise training and onboarding, subject to franchisor approval. Ongoing franchisor systems, brand resources, and support are available. The current owners are willing to provide a reasonable transition period to ensure continuity of operations and a smooth handoff.

There are opportunities for growth under engaged ownership, including increased local marketing, community partnerships, catering or group orders, and continued optimization of staffing, hours of operation, and delivery channels. A locally involved owner may be able to build on the existing foundation and improve performance through hands-on, day-to-day operational focus.

The owners relocated out of state and are no longer able to provide the level of local, hands-on involvement they believe is ideal for the business. They are seeking a qualified buyer who can build upon the existing foundation and continue operating the location with engaged, on-site ownership.

This offering is best suited for an owner-operator or experienced operator seeking a proven concept with established systems, brand momentum, and long-term growth potential. Financial details will be provided to qualified buyers upon completion of a confidentiality agreement.
