Premier Old Town San Diego Restaurant Opportunity
Business Description
Restaurant opportunities like this rarely become available.
Located in the heart of Old Town San Diego, this fully renovated turnkey restaurant sits along one of the area's busiest pedestrian corridors, benefiting from millions of visitors each year. Old Town is one of Southern California's most recognized tourist destinations, attracting both locals and visitors year-round with its unique blend of history, shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The restaurant features approximately 2,000 square feet of beautifully designed interior dining and an exceptional 1,000 square foot outdoor patio, creating one of the most inviting dining environments in Old Town. The patio includes permanent natural gas fire pits, providing an outstanding guest experience without the maintenance and expense of propane systems.
The sale includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, quality furniture, fixtures, equipment, décor, a Beer & Wine License, and approximately $10,000 in inventory. Every major component is already in place, allowing a new owner to begin operations immediately without the time, expense, permitting process, and uncertainty of building a restaurant from scratch.
The business operates under a highly favorable long-term lease with four years remaining plus a five-year renewal option, providing long-term stability in one of San Diego's most sought-after restaurant markets.
This location offers tremendous flexibility for an owner-operator, experienced restaurateur, or hospitality group. Continue the current concept or introduce your own vision while taking advantage of exceptional visibility, consistent pedestrian traffic, and one of the most desirable restaurant locations in the city.
Current ownership pursued this location for several years before securing it. Opportunities to acquire a fully built restaurant of this caliber in Old Town are exceptionally rare.
The owner is pursuing other business interests and will provide transition assistance to ensure a smooth transfer.
