Stark County Pizzeria, 37 Years.
$337,123 Annual Revenue at a 21.4% SDE Margin from a Carry-Out and Catering Operation with a $750 Monthly Lease

Business Description
The $750 monthly lease is the structural foundation of this operation. Food service space across Northeast Ohio trades at rates that are multiples of that figure. The gap between this location's occupancy cost and market-rate alternatives flows directly to the bottom line, producing $72,039 in SDE on $337,123 in annual revenue. That cost advantage is not replicable by a new entrant to the Stark County market today.

Pizza drives the majority of daily production. Wings, fried chicken, jojos, cold beverages, and locally sourced snack items complete a consistent menu that serves individual carry-out customers alongside institutional accounts. Schools, churches, and civic organizations place recurring catering orders that generate volume beyond the walk-in base. Customers from surrounding townships travel specifically to this location, a geographic draw built across 37 years of consistent production.

Four employees handle daily kitchen operations and service. The facility is fully equipped with no deferred maintenance waiting for an incoming owner. $25,000 in FF&E and $5,000 in inventory transfer at the $99,900 asking price. Thirty days of hands-on training covers production procedures, supplier contacts, and daily operational systems from the first week of ownership.

Business History
Pizza production at this Stark County location began in 1989. The menu expanded from its original core over the following decades as customer preferences evolved, adding wings, fried chicken, jojos, and locally sourced snack items to the production lineup. Catering relationships with schools, churches, and civic organizations developed through consistent community presence and now generate recurring volume independent of walk-in traffic.

The $750 monthly lease has anchored the cost structure across the full operating history. That figure reflects a facility arrangement that cannot be replicated by a new market entrant at current Northeast Ohio commercial lease rates. All required Ohio food service licenses and permits are current and in good standing entering 2026.

Potential Growth and Expansion
Delivery service is not currently offered. Third-party platform activation adds a revenue channel without kitchen modifications or staffing additions at current production volume.
Direct online ordering is not active. A digital ordering system captures app and web customers and reduces inbound phone volume during peak service hours.
Catering currently serves schools, churches, and civic organizations. Corporate accounts, sports leagues, and private event venues in Stark County represent an adjacent segment the existing kitchen supports without added equipment.
A dedicated lunch special targets the midday carry-out segment. No equipment changes or staffing additions are required at current volume levels.
Targeted local digital advertising reaches younger demographics in surrounding townships at minimal cost, extending the existing geographic draw without facility changes.
