Greek Restaurant | 20+ Years | Retirement Sale | North Shore
Business Description
Description
After more than 20 years of successful ownership, the owner of this well-known neighborhood Greek restaurant is preparing for retirement, creating a rare opportunity to acquire an established business with deep roots in the community and significant upside for a new operator.
This restaurant has earned a loyal following by serving authentic Greek cuisine to generations of repeat customers. Positioned along a busy commercial corridor with outstanding visibility and accessibility, the business benefits from consistent neighborhood traffic and a reputation built over decades.
The business currently generates approximately $500,000 in annual sales, with approximately 80% of revenue coming from takeout, providing a strong foundation while leaving substantial room to expand dine-in service, catering, alcohol sales, and other higher-margin revenue streams. Prior to COVID, weekly sales reportedly reached $10,000 to $15,000 per week, demonstrating the business's historical earning potential under the right ownership and operating strategy.
The restaurant occupies an efficient approximately 1,200-square-foot space with attractive occupancy costs of approximately $4,100 per month, including base rent and taxes (subject to lease verification). To help ensure a smooth transition, the landlord has indicated a willingness to extend the lease for a qualified new owner, providing valuable long-term stability for the business.
The restaurant is fully equipped and operating, allowing a buyer to begin generating revenue immediately without the expense, delays, and uncertainty of building a restaurant from the ground up. A key long-term employee is expected to remain after the sale, helping provide continuity throughout the ownership transition.
Whether you're an experienced restaurateur looking to expand your portfolio or an owner-operator seeking an established business with built-in goodwill, this opportunity offers an exceptional foundation for continued success.
