Italian Restaurent in business 13 years with a 7% Rent Factor!
Business Description
Imagine yourself as the proud owner of this beloved Italian restaurant that's been a San Mateo cornerstone for 13 successful years. You'll inherit a loyal customer base who genuinely loves the authentic Southern Italian menu - the kind of regulars who become like family.
Picture your typical day: greeting familiar faces while welcoming new guests to your charming dining room and inviting front patio. You're perfectly positioned on a busy street in affluent San Mateo, right in the heart of the SF Peninsula where foot traffic flows naturally to your door.
Here's what really sets this opportunity apart - the financials work beautifully in your favor. Your lease runs through September 2032 at just $4,230 monthly, creating an impressive 7.2% rent factor of gross sales. That's the kind of overhead structure that lets you focus on what you love instead of worrying about crushing rent payments.
You'll appreciate the thoughtfully designed space: a spacious kitchen that gives you room to create those signature Italian dishes your customers crave, plus a properly sized walk-in cooler for efficient inventory management. No more feeling cramped during busy dinner rushes.
After 13 years, this restaurant has proven its resilience in the competitive Peninsula market. The established reputation means you're not starting from scratch - you're stepping into a business with momentum, proven systems, and a community that already knows and trusts the brand.
Whether you want to maintain the current successful concept or add your personal touches, you'll have the foundation every restaurant owner dreams of: loyal customers, manageable overhead, and prime location in one of California's most desirable markets.
This is your chance to own a profitable, well-positioned restaurant business where you can truly make your mark.
