- Market Outlook / Competition
- Hime Sushi Bar and Grill is established as a true local staple with a dedicated, recurring customer base. The business holds a commanding position in the local market due to a scarcity of high-quality Asian cuisine in the immediate vicinity. With few comparable dining options nearby, residents typically must travel outside the area to find similar offerings. This lack of direct competition allows the restaurant to dominate the local trade area and maintain consistent year-round volume from loyal patrons.
- Opportunities for Growth
- This business is primed for massive growth. The restaurant is equipped with six Teppanyaki grills with full vents that are currently underutilized. There is a high demand for this dining experience in the area. A buyer with the ability to implement a Teppanyaki program can immediately capitalize on this "sleeping asset". By simply staffing and opening these stations, a new owner can transform the revenue model, substantially increasing daily sales and driving the business toward million-dollar annual performance.
