Business Description
Excellent opportunity to acquire an established and fully equipped poke restaurant in the highly desirable Palm Desert / Coachella Valley market.
The restaurant generated approximately $554,000 in gross sales in 2025 and approximately $577,000 in 2024. While sales were modestly lower in 2025, gross profit increased and operating profitability improved significantly, demonstrating the underlying strength of the operation.
One of the most important aspects of this opportunity is its significant upside potential. Due to the Seller's serious health condition, the Seller has been unable to actively operate, manage, or develop the business to its full potential. The restaurant is currently operated primarily by employees, making this particularly attractive for an energetic owner-operator who can become actively involved in the business.
A hands-on new owner could potentially improve sales and profitability through stronger local marketing, catering, delivery, community outreach, cost controls, and active day-to-day management.
The restaurant features a spacious kitchen with a walk-in cooler, providing excellent infrastructure for the current operation as well as potential menu expansion, catering, or higher-volume production.
The business also holds an ABC Type 41 Beer & Wine license and is offered as a fully equipped, turnkey restaurant.

The Seller's health condition has limited the Seller's ability to actively manage and grow the restaurant. Despite this, the business has continued operating with employees and generated more than $550,000 in annual sales in 2025.
An active owner-operator may have opportunities to increase profitability through:
-More active day-to-day management
-Local and digital marketing
-Catering and corporate accounts
-Community and event-related business
-Increased third-party delivery sales
-Labor and food-cost management
-Expanded use of the beer & wine license
-Menu expansion utilizing the large kitchen and walk-in cooler
The existing infrastructure provides a strong foundation for a buyer who wants to take the business to the next level.

***Unique Two-Location Opportunity***
For buyers interested in building a larger restaurant operation, there is an additional and unusual opportunity.
Another established restaurant operating under the same brand and same menu is located only approximately 5.5 miles away in La Quinta and may also be available for acquisition.
A qualified buyer interested in acquiring both locations may have an opportunity to negotiate exceptionally attractive package pricing and terms with the Seller.
Because the two restaurants are located only approximately 5.5 miles apart, they can be conveniently managed as a two-unit restaurant operation.
Acquiring both locations may provide several operational advantages, including shared management, flexible staffing, coordinated purchasing, inventory transfers, common vendors, centralized marketing, and increased brand recognition throughout the Coachella Valley.
The existing two-location platform may also provide an excellent foundation for a buyer interested in opening additional locations, developing a regional restaurant concept, or potentially creating a future franchise system.
Purchase of the Palm Desert location separately is welcome. Acquisition of both locations is optional.
