Premium Subway End-Cap Location with Recovery Upside
Business Description
This premium Subway franchise occupies a highly visible end-cap location along a major retail corridor and is offered at a compelling value relative to its historical performance and real estate quality. Previously capable of generating substantially higher revenue, the business presents a clear recovery opportunity for an experienced, hands-on operator.
Ideal Buyer Profile
This business is a strong fit if one or more of the following describes you:
1. Owner-operator – Seeking a premium-location turnaround where direct daily involvement can restore execution, control labor, and recover revenue.
2. Experienced QSR or franchise operator – Looking to acquire a high-visibility end-cap location at a discounted valuation and apply proven systems to drive recovery.
3. E-2 Treaty Investor (Visa Buyer) – An active U.S. business with employees, physical location, and operational involvement suitable for an E-2 application, provided the buyer intends to work in the business and fund the recovery.
4. Family-operated buyer – Well-suited for a family-run structure where relatives can participate in operations to reduce labor pressure during the recovery phase.
Business Overview
The restaurant operates from a modern, full-size Subway buildout with excellent visibility, strong traffic patterns, and established brand recognition in the local market. While recent performance has been disrupted by operational inefficiencies, the location itself remains a strategic asset. With focused owner-operator management, the business is positioned to stabilize and recapture a portion of its historical volume.
Key Financial Highlights
Current Revenue: ~$235,000 annual run rate
Historical Peak Revenue: $590,000+
Owner-Operator SDE Potential: ~$35,000+
Replacement Cost: Estimated $120,000+ for equipment and buildout
Operational Details
This end-cap location benefits from maximum frontage, ample parking, and a full dine-in layout suitable for both walk-in traffic and catering. Staffing currently ranges from 8–12 employees, with an experienced core team in place. The business requires direct owner involvement to optimize labor, control costs, and restore consistent execution. All franchise systems, equipment, and infrastructure are in place, with a remodel not required until approximately 2032.
Reason for Sale
The seller is repositioning their portfolio and exiting this location to focus on other strategic priorities.
Growth & Recovery Opportunities

- Leverage premium visibility for local marketing and catering programs
- Optimize labor scheduling and food cost controls
