With an 18% profit margin, consistent foot traffic, and a loyal customer base, this business is ideally positioned for a motivated buyer ready to take advantage of a high-performing, low-frills operation with immediate upside.

Opportunity
There is strong potential to grow the business through simple, cost-effective strategies. Establishing a direct online ordering system could reduce reliance on third-party platforms and improve customer retention through loyalty offers and promotions. Expanding into corporate catering may also create a valuable new revenue stream, given the number of nearby offices and commercial activity. A major opportunity exists in building a social media presence from the ground up—platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok can drive awareness, attract a younger audience, and promote key menu items or specials. In-store promotions and a loyalty program could also help increase repeat visits and average spend.
