Pacific Edge Partners is pleased to present the confidential sale of an established fast-casual poke restaurant operating in a dense and highly desirable West Los Angeles trade area near a major university, surrounding residential neighborhoods, offices, and strong delivery demand.
The restaurant has operated as part of a recognized local poke brand for more than 10 years and serves fresh, made-to-order poke bowls with a highly customizable menu of proteins, toppings, bases, and signature sauces. The concept attracts students, professionals, local residents, fitness-minded customers, and guests seeking a convenient alternative to traditional fast food.
This is a profitable, manager-run operation supported by established recipes, operating procedures, vendor relationships, inventory controls, POS systems, and digital ordering infrastructure. The location generates revenue through dine-in, takeout, online ordering, and major third-party delivery platforms, providing a diversified customer mix and a strong digital presence.
The store generated approximately $803,584 in 2025 revenue and $183,821 in reported net income. Based on January through April results, 2026 annualized performance is approximately $866,072 in revenue and $254,564 in reported net income. Annualized figures are presented for analytical purposes only and should not be viewed as a guarantee of full-year performance.
Approximately $60,000 was recently invested in remodeling the location, along with furniture upgrades completed in late 2025. A buyer steps into an operating restaurant with an established customer base, trained management, mature systems, and significant startup risk already removed.
The sale is well suited for an experienced restaurant operator, multi-unit group, or qualified owner-operator seeking a high-volume Los Angeles location with immediate cash flow and additional upside.
The unit is being offered separately from a broader multi-location portfolio. Continued use of the existing brand and related brand rights will be structured as part of the transaction with the seller. Detailed financial statements, tax returns, lease information, and operating materials are available to qualified buyers following execution of an NDA.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 10
- Facilities & Assets
- The restaurant occupies approximately 1,114 square feet and was improved through an approximately $60,000 remodel, along with furniture upgrades completed in late 2025. The location is fully built out and equipped for continued fast-casual restaurant operations.
The sale is expected to include the location’s furniture, fixtures, kitchen equipment, refrigeration, smallwares, POS system, signage, leasehold improvements, recipes, operating procedures, training materials, and related goodwill. Estimated inventory of approximately $5,000 is expected to be included, subject to final count and purchase-agreement terms. There is no leased equipment and no beer or wine license.
Current monthly base rent is approximately $5,204, plus approximately $406 in CAM charges. The current lease expires April 28, 2028. Lease assignment or a new lease will be subject to landlord approval. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The restaurant operates in a dense West Los Angeles trade area supported by a major university, residential neighborhoods, offices, students, professionals, and substantial takeout and delivery demand. Its customizable menu appeals to customers seeking fresh, protein-forward meals that can be ordered quickly and tailored to individual preferences.
Competition exists within poke and the broader healthy fast-casual category. However, this location benefits from more than a decade of operating history, an established customer base, recognizable branding, mature digital-ordering channels, and operating systems that a new concept would need significant time and capital to develop.
Its combination of university traffic, surrounding residents, digital ordering, delivery reach, and repeat customers provides several demand channels rather than reliance on a single customer segment. - Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner can pursue growth through expanded university, office, school, and event catering; stronger local outreach; increased direct online ordering; loyalty and repeat-purchase programs; and continued optimization of delivery pricing and platform economics.
The location’s proximity to a major university creates opportunities for campus organizations, faculty departments, student groups, athletic programs, and nearby employers. Direct ordering could also capture a greater portion of existing digital demand while reducing dependence on third-party platform commissions.
Additional opportunities include evaluating operating hours and dayparts, refining menu engineering, introducing complementary offerings, and using the restaurant’s established customer base and social presence for targeted promotions. The current owner has focused primarily on operating the existing business rather than aggressively pursuing these initiatives.
About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Personal Reasons
- Transition Support
- Seller will provide up to two weeks of hands-on training and transition assistance following closing, along with reasonable consultation during an agreed transition period.
Training is expected to cover recipes, food preparation, purchasing, inventory management, vendor introductions, employee scheduling, POS systems, quality control, customer-service standards, online ordering, third-party delivery platforms, and the store’s established operating procedures.
The restaurant currently operates with experienced on-site management, allowing a qualified buyer to transition into ownership without rebuilding the operating team or systems from the ground up. Continued employment of existing managers and employees will remain subject to the buyer’s arrangements with the staff.
