Someone spent $219K and a year building this. You can have it for $100K.
Franchised fast-casual restaurant in Las Cruces, NM, built new from a shell and opened in late 2025. First twelve months: $547K in sales, as reported. The launch did roughly $190K in eleven weeks and $46K–$54K a month through Q1 2026 with almost no paid marketing. Then the owner's attention moved to an out-of-state venture, marketing stopped, and sales settled into the low-to-mid $30Ks.
That is the whole story, and it's why the price is what it is. The store runs near break-even with a salaried general manager doing the daily work. It is priced on the build-out, the lease and the franchise, not on earnings. Buy it as a restart with the expensive part finished.
What you're getting:
• ~1,600 sq ft, 40 seats, full commercial kitchen, one year old
• 10-year lease with two 5-year options, no percentage rent, category exclusive in the center
• Franchise agreement through 2034 with a protected territory covering the whole metro
• Full-time GM plus 11 part-time staff, all expected to stay; owner is called rarely
• Modern POS, brand app with ~2,000 loyalty members, all major delivery platforms, corporate catering channel already set up
• Zero-violation health inspection; no debt, liens, disputes or back rent
Seller financing available for the right buyer. Two weeks of seller training plus the franchisor's program. Full P&Ls, POS reports, lease and franchise agreement under NDA.
Best fit: an owner-operator who takes the GM seat and turns the marketing back on, a franchisee adding a unit, or an investor who keeps the GM and funds the push.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- East-side Las Cruces retail corridor with mall traffic, hotel guests, NMSU students, families and White Sands commuters. No direct competitor in the category locally, and the lease bars the landlord from placing one in the center. Franchisor is a young, growing Southwest brand described by the owner as responsive and hands-on.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The store proved demand at opening and has had almost no marketing since. Immediate levers: an owner on site, a modest paid-social budget, NMSU and school fundraiser nights, corporate catering (already routed through Fooda, currently under 1% of sales), and shifting delivery orders from third-party apps to the commission-free house app. Protected territory supports a second location.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Owner relocating out of state for a business opportunity in another field.
- Transition Support
- Two weeks of hands-on training from the seller, followed by the franchisor's initial training program. Seller available by phone after closing. The general manager already handles scheduling, ordering, deliveries and staff, so a new owner can be manager-run from day one or step into the GM role and capture that salary.
- Financing Options
- Seller financing available for the right buyer.
