Highly-Rated Hostel & Vegan Restaurant with Expansion Potential
Business Description
Turnkey boutique hotel & vegan café in Hawaii’s fastest-growing district. Consistent sales, strong reviews, loyal following & major expansion potential. Fee-simple real estate available.
Gross Revenue: $168,000
Real Estate: $450,000 (optional)
Restaurant: ~$10K/mo (dinner only; potential $25K–30K/mo)
Lodging: ~$4K/mo (peaks $7K; potential $8K+)
Exceptional opportunity to acquire two established businesses: a boutique lodging operation (3 private rooms, legal short-term rental zone) and a vibrant plant-based café (vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free options). Both are housed in a historic 2,000 sq ft building in a downtown location with high community engagement.
The café generates ~$10K monthly on limited hours (5 nights/week). Community demand for daytime service is strong, with realistic potential to grow to $25K–30K monthly by adding coffee, breakfast, lunch, catering, liquor license, or events. Fully permitted commercial kitchen includes convection oven, induction burners, hot bar, fridges/freezers, salad bar, blenders, and more. The space features colorful murals, indoor/outdoor seating, fast Wi-Fi, and draws steady traffic with live music nights.
The boutique lodging averages ~$4K per month (peaks $7K) with minimal staffing (one part-time cleaner). Operations are automated with smart locks and booking systems. Location advantage: legal STR zoning—a rarity—offering security as enforcement increases on un-permitted rentals.
Sale includes all equipment, custom furniture/artwork, original award-winning recipes, websites, POS, systems, and trained staff. Current owner offers full transitional support.
Optional fee-simple purchase. Approx. 2,000 sq ft building on 2,445 sq ft lot, zoned Commercial Village. Upgraded systems: new septic, plumbing, electrical, propane, county water, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Features two kitchens (one commercial, one residential), two bathrooms, lanai, fenced yard, laundry, and tropical landscaping. Over $100K in improvements including new roofs, reinforced foundation, paint, and flooring.
Located in the heart of a revitalized downtown district with shopping, dining, music, parks, and transit. Anchored by long-standing local businesses and accessible to community events (art shows, block parties, concerts). Strong synergy and steady tourist + local traffic.
