Turn Key Recently Remodeled Restaurant with Drive Thru,
Business Description
Imagine walking into your own turnkey restaurant opportunity - fully remodeled and ready for your vision. This free-standing quick-serve establishment with drive-thru sits on one of Santa Ana's busiest streets, where foot traffic and visibility work in your favor every day.
You'll appreciate the incredible foundation already built here. The current owner invested over $500,000 in a complete renovation that opened in April 2025 - everything from the full commercial kitchen to new dining room furniture, attractive monument signage, and welcoming patio space. It's 100% employee-operated, so you can focus on growing the business rather than daily operations.
The location couldn't be better positioned for success. You're surrounded by a college campus, residential neighborhoods, and commercial districts - creating multiple revenue streams including solid catering opportunities. Whether you envision a family diner, ethnic cuisine, or fast-casual concept, this space adapts to your culinary dreams with no menu restrictions.
What makes this especially appealing? The seller is motivated due to personal circumstances following a partner's passing, creating a rare opportunity for you to acquire a premium location at an attractive price point.
You'll love the flexibility this offers - bring your own brand, menu, and vision to a space that's already proven successful. The infrastructure, location advantages, and established operational systems are all in place. You just need to add your personal touch and watch your restaurant business flourish in this thriving Santa Ana location.
