Turnkey Café & Retail Opportunity in Charleston's Highest-Traffic
Business Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out café and retail business in one of Charleston’s most desirable and high-traffic locations. Positioned in the heart of a thriving commercial district, this business benefits from exceptional visibility, strong foot traffic, and an attractive long-term lease that is significantly below current market rates for comparable spaces in the area.
The current operation combines a café and specialty grocery concept, generating established revenue with a loyal customer base already in place. For an entrepreneur looking to enter the food and beverage industry, this is a true turnkey opportunity with substantial value in the existing infrastructure alone. For an experienced operator, the location and buildout provide a unique platform to introduce a new café, bakery, coffee concept, wine bar, specialty retail business, or other hospitality venture.
Over $200,000 has been invested into the space, including approximately $100,000+ in equipment, furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), along with an additional $100,000+ in leasehold improvements and buildout costs. The space is fully operational and ready for immediate ownership.
Highlights:
Prime Charleston location with some of the highest foot traffic in the county
Long-term lease in place at below-market rental rates
Established café and retail operation with existing revenue and customer base
Over $200,000 invested in equipment, FF&E, and leasehold improvements
Fully built-out and turnkey operation
Attractive opportunity for owner-operators or investors
Flexible concept potential—continue existing operations or introduce your own vision
Strong visibility, accessibility, and surrounding demographics
Seller relocating internationally, creating a motivated sale opportunity
Seller financing may be available for qualified buyers
Whether you're looking to operate the existing business or leverage an incredible location and buildout for a new concept, opportunities like this rarely come to market. The combination of a premium location, favorable lease terms, established revenue, and substantial infrastructure investment creates significant value for the next owner.
The seller is committed to a smooth transition.
