Business Description
Established two-unit franchise portfolio in Irvine and Huntington Beach, California. Combined trailing revenue of $1.2M and two-year average Adjusted SDE of $253,823 with $202K Adjusted EBITDA on an absentee basis.
A single full-time General Manager runs both stores and has committed to staying post-close — making this one of the rare semi-absentee opportunities at this price point where a passive investor genuinely does not need to work in the business. Manager compensation is fully reflected in operating expenses, so no replacement cost to the buyer.
Both units operate at $622K average unit volume, approximately 24% above the franchise's national AUV per current FDD. Direct landlord leases at competitive rates with five-year options extending control through 2032–2033. Franchisor has agreed to assign existing franchise agreements and waive renewal fees — a meaningful concession given the remaining lease term.
SBA 7(a) eligible. Seller is open to a 15% seller note on full standby for 24 months to support lender underwriting. Asset sale with no transferred liabilities. Equipment list and store-level P&Ls available under NDA.
Reason for sale: Owner reallocating capital to other operating businesses. Not a distressed sale; both locations have eight-plus years of operating history
