If you've dreamed of owning your own restaurant without the overwhelming cost, risk, and uncertainty of starting from scratch, this is an exceptional opportunity.
This established fast-casual restaurant is located in one of the fastest-growing communities in Northeast Florida and offers a fully turnkey operation with a modern buildout, professional kitchen, experienced staff, established systems, and the support of a nationally recognized franchise concept. The current owners invested more than $716,000 in leasehold improvements, equipment, and buildout, allowing a new owner to step into a fully operational business from day one.
This opportunity is ideally suited for an owner-operator looking to build equity in their own business while benefiting from an established operation and proven systems. A hands-on owner has the opportunity to improve profitability by actively managing the restaurant and continuing to build on the positive momentum already underway. Sales have shown improvement as nearby road construction has concluded and a new grocery anchor has opened in the shopping center, increasing customer traffic.
The business operates from a prime retail location in affluent St. Johns County with a long-term lease extending through September 2034. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, kitchen equipment, POS system, signage, inventory, and other operating assets needed to continue business immediately.
The current owners are committed to a successful transition and will provide comprehensive hands-on training after closing. In addition, the franchisor provides extensive onboarding, operational training, and a grand reopening marketing program to help the new owner launch successfully.
Whether you're purchasing your first business or expanding your portfolio, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, professionally built restaurant with substantial infrastructure already in place, strong franchise support, and meaningful opportunities for future growth through local marketing, catering, delivery, and continued population growth in one of Florida's most desirable markets.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in one of the fastest-growing communities in Northeast Florida, serving the affluent and expanding St. Johns County market. The area continues to experience strong residential and commercial growth, creating long-term demand for convenient, high-quality dining options. While the restaurant competes with other fast-casual and quick-service concepts, it benefits from a nationally recognized franchise brand, a loyal customer base, and a prime location in a busy retail corridor with excellent visibility and traffic. Continued population growth, nearby residential development, and increasing daytime employment provide significant opportunities to expand sales through local marketing, catering, delivery, and community engagement.

Additional opportunities include expanding local marketing efforts, increasing catering and delivery sales, strengthening community partnerships, enhancing digital marketing and loyalty programs, and optimizing labor and operating efficiencies. A hands-on owner can also reduce management costs while leveraging the established franchise systems, brand recognition, and long-term lease to continue growing profitability.
