Turnkey Restaurant & Bar Opportunity in South Austin's Circle C Ranch
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, turnkey restaurant and bar in one of South Austin's most desirable trade areas. Located in the highly sought-after Circle C Ranch community, this established location has been serving the area since 2008 and generated more than $1.4 million in gross sales during 2025.
This approximately 3,550-square-foot facility features a welcoming dining room, full-service bar, covered patio with fireplace, fully equipped commercial kitchen, Type I hood and fire suppression system, walk-in cooler and freezer, prep areas, storage, and all infrastructure necessary to begin operating immediately. Approximately $125,000 in owned furniture, fixtures, and equipment are included in the sale (excluding leased dishwashers).
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced independent operator, restaurant group, franchisee, or hospitality entrepreneur looking to avoid the significant cost, permitting, and lengthy timeline associated with developing a new restaurant from the ground up. The existing buildout provides a substantially faster and more cost-effective path to opening and is well suited for a wide variety of concepts, including upscale casual, neighborhood dining, sports bar, pizza, barbecue, Mexican, Italian, breakfast/brunch, chef-driven concepts, or other hospitality uses.
The sale includes the business, owned furniture, fixtures and equipment, recipes, operating systems, vendor relationships, goodwill, and trade name (if desired). Inventory will be valued separately at closing. Buyer will have the opportunity to interview and retain existing employees, and the seller is willing to provide transition assistance to help ensure a smooth and successful handoff.
Ownership is actively pursuing a transition to a new operator and is prepared to move quickly with qualified buyers. Multiple transaction structures may be considered for the right buyer, including an asset purchase, business acquisition, or other mutually beneficial arrangement. Lease assignment is subject to landlord approval.
To protect the confidentiality of the business, additional financial information, lease details, supporting documentation, and site visits will be provided only to qualified buyers following an initial discussion and execution of a confidentiality agreement.
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an established restaurant location with nearly two decades of operating history, over $1.4 million in recent annual sales, and the ability to open significantly faster and at a fraction of the cost of developing a comparable restaurant today.

Buyer will have the opportunity to interview and retain existing employees, subj - Facilities & Assets
- This turnkey opportunity includes a fully built-out, full-service restaurant and bar with approximately 3,550 square feet of interior space plus a covered patio. Assets include approximately $128,500 in owned furniture, fixtures, and equipment (excluding leased dishwashers), a fully equipped commercial kitchen, Type I hood and fire suppression system, walk-in cooler and freezer, cooking line, prep equipment, bar equipment, tables, chairs, booths, patio furniture, POS infrastructure, and all other owned operating equipment necessary to continue restaurant operations.
The sale includes the existing business, trade name, goodwill, recipes, operating systems, and transferable assets, subject to buyer preference and transaction structure. Inventory will be valued separately at closing. Lease assignment is subject to landlord approval. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in the highly desirable Circle C Ranch area of Southwest Austin, the restaurant benefits from a strong residential customer base, excellent visibility, and convenient access to surrounding neighborhoods. The area continues to experience residential growth and attracts a mix of families, professionals, and nearby businesses.
The location is well suited for a wide variety of restaurant concepts, including upscale casual, neighborhood dining, sports bar, pizza, barbecue, Mexican, Italian, breakfast/brunch, and chef-driven concepts. While the area includes national and local restaurant competitors, the established customer base and limited availability of second-generation restaurant space create a unique opportunity for an experienced operator to establish or expand their presence in one of Austin's most desirable trade areas. - Opportunities for Growth
- The business offers significant upside for an experienced owner-operator or restaurant group seeking to leverage an established location with existing infrastructure. Opportunities include introducing a new concept, refining the menu and operating model, expanding catering and private events, increasing off-premise sales, enhancing marketing and community engagement, and optimizing labor and purchasing practices. The existing buildout provides a substantially faster and more cost-effective path to market than developing a new restaurant from the ground up, making it well suited for both independent operators and expanding multi-unit groups.
