Hot Listing
Turnkey Restaurant | Rebrand or Relocate | Prime Knoxville Locale
Business Description
Turnkey restaurant offering dine-in, takeout, delivery, and catering services in a high-traffic West Knoxville location surrounded by popular shopping and retail. Currently operating as a recognized BBQ concept with a varied menu, large dining area, and strong potential for growth under hands-on ownership. Keep the concept or bring your own. This doesn't have to stay as a BBQ restaurant, the area supports higher-end casual dining, and there is a gap for unique local concepts.
Key features include:
Prime location in a vibrant shopping district
Option to add beer sales (license/permits permitting)
Fully equipped with quality furniture, fixtures, and equipment (valued over list price)
Long-term lease available to qualified buyers
Currently run as absentee with Manager and part-time staff who desire to stay on
Recent operational improvements have driven profitability (shift to efficient staffing model)
Buyers have excellent flexibility: continue the established BBQ brand (leveraging recognition, systems, and customer base) or rebrand by converting to your own concept—ideal for an independent restaurant, fast-casual, burgers and beer, pizza, or specialty food operation (subject to lease approval). Seller is highly motivated—having sold one location already, the owner seeks to focus on other ventures and is open to seller financing for qualified buyers with a solid down payment. Serious, reasonable offers encouraged.
Ideal Buyers:
Experienced restaurant operators or ambitious owner-operators
Food enthusiasts or culinary professionals
Multi-unit owners expanding their portfolio
Local entrepreneurs or investor groups seeking a turnkey opportunity
This is a priced-to-move asset with immediate usability, proven infrastructure, and clear upside for an engaged buyer ready to drive results.
