Established Seattle Café in Prime Retail Corridor | $1M+ Sales Growth
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, retail-driven café concept located in a high-visibility Seattle trade corridor with strong foot traffic and consistent repeat clientele.
The business generates approximately $1M+ in annual revenue and has demonstrated stable top-line performance year-over-year. The concept benefits from diversified customer segments including students, professionals, and families, providing both weekday and weekend volume.
Operations are structured with defined front-of-house and back-of-house workflows, experienced staff in place, and manageable labor oversight. The current ownership is not fully hands-on, creating clear operational upside for a more engaged owner-operator.
Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) has historically supported attractive cash flow, with normalization adjustments available upon NDA execution. Variances in recent earnings relate primarily to financing structure and owner-related expenses rather than deterioration in sales performance.
Growth opportunities include:
• Expanding service hours into dinner
• Catering and event-driven revenue
• Margin optimization through menu engineering
• Digital ordering and loyalty enhancements
• Replication into additional high-traffic retail corridors
The business occupies a prime leased retail space within a strong neighborhood corridor and benefits from location-driven organic traffic supplemented by digital engagement.
Confidential offering.
Detailed financials, lease terms, and operational documentation will be provided to qualified buyers upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Serious inquiries only.
