This is an established Rocco's Italian Sausages & Cheese Steaks location in Lawnside, NJ, situated on the property of a Home Depot, a site type known for consistent, built-in customer traffic from both retail shoppers and trade professionals. Rocco's traces its roots to 2000 and has grown into a respected regional name with a proven, replicable format operating across multiple states.

This particular location has been open for several years under the same ownership group. Over the past year, the owners stepped back from day-to-day involvement, and performance has slipped as a result. Ahead of transfer, the sellers are restoring the business to full Rocco's brand standards, including its approved menu and supplier program, with the franchisor's knowledge and sign-off, so an incoming buyer takes over a fully compliant, ready-to-run location rather than one requiring cleanup.

That gap between recent performance and what Rocco's broader system of established locations reports is the real opportunity here. Comparable, mature Rocco's locations report meaningfully higher average annual sales, and there is a credible path to closing that gap under attentive, present ownership. This is a fit for a first-time franchisee or an existing operator willing to be hands-on, not a passive investment.

The buyer also inherits favorable, already-secured terms going forward: a renegotiated lease below what the current owners have been paying, and a flat monthly royalty that does not scale with sales, so revenue growth flows to the bottom line rather than being shared with the franchisor. Building a comparable Rocco's location new currently costs $348,000 to $617,500 per the franchisor's disclosure document; this offers an established, operating Home Depot location at a significant discount to that replacement cost.
