Turnkey Commissary Kitchen + Catering Business w/ Real Estate
Business Description
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This offering presents a rare turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built, city-certified industrial commissary kitchen with an established catering business and owned real estate in Glendale, Arizona. The property and business are offered together, allowing a buyer to step into immediate operations without the cost, time, or risk associated with new construction, permitting, or equipment procurement.
The package includes AZBarbeque Catering, a long-standing food service brand established in 2006, operating from a professionally equipped 2,521 SF commissary kitchen with additional mezzanine and yard space. The business has generated approximately $400,000–$570,000 in annual gross revenue over the past several years and provides a proven operating platform for catering, food production, ghost kitchen, or mobile food concepts.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
AZBarbeque Catering is a well-established catering operation with nearly two decades of operating history in the Phoenix metro area. Revenue has remained consistent, with performance influenced by staffing levels, pricing strategy, and the owner’s discretionary discounting to first responders, local charities, and community events.
The business currently operates with a lean, flexible labor model utilizing part-time 1099 contractors. A new owner may continue the existing catering operations, scale higher-margin events, or repurpose the kitchen as a commissary or ghost kitchen hub.
FACILITIES & ASSETS
Operations are centered in a fully built industrial commissary kitchen (Suite #101) featuring:
• 2,521 SF main floor with approximately 600 SF of mezzanine space
• 12-foot ANSUL hood system
• Walk-in cooler
• Garland convection ovens and oven/range
• Cookshack smokers
• Prep tables, sinks, racks, and extensive supporting equipment
• Fenced yard and roll-up door access
A comprehensive FF&E package is included, enabling immediate use for catering, food truck support, food production, or ghost kitchen operations.
REAL ESTATE
The real estate is owned and included in the offering. The property consists of two industrial flex condominium units totaling approximately 4,429 SF. Suite #102 provides additional office and warehouse space and may be leased, occupied by the buyer, or repurposed depending on operational needs. The location offers strong freeway access and proximity to major West Valley employment centers, event venues, and population growth. Suite #102 is currently leased with a month-to-month tenant.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
A buyer can unlock additional value by focusing on higher-margin corporate and private catering, reducing discretionary discounting, improving labor efficiency, or expanding commissary, ghost kitchen, or mobile food operations. With licensing, equipment, and infrastructure already in place, the opportunity allows for immediate scale without development delays.
This offering is best suited for an owner-operator, catering group, food truck operator, ghost kitchen concept, or food service company seeking a turnkey, real estate-backed operating platform.
