Established Fast Casual Franchise, Northeast Wisconsin

Business Overview:

This well-established fast casual restaurant has operated for over four years as part of a growing national franchise system. Two managers run day-to-day operations, and the owner has stepped back from the floor, currently handling only bookkeeping and ordering. That makes this a strong fit for a semi-absentee owner or a multi-unit operator looking to add a location.

Revenue is diversified across dine-in, online ordering, third-party delivery, and catering. Catering and delivery together account for roughly 30% of sales, supported by recurring catering relationships with local organizations and a profitable presence at a large annual regional event.

The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, leasehold improvements from a full 2022 buildout, normal operating inventory, signage, online ordering and delivery accounts, catering customer lists, and dedicated event and catering equipment. The restaurant operates from leased premises.

The seller will provide eight weeks of transition training at no additional cost, in addition to the franchisor's comprehensive training program. Transfer is subject to franchisor approval and landlord consent; the buyer is responsible for the franchisor's transfer fee.

Property Features and Assets:

The restaurant occupies approximately 1,594 square feet in a multi-tenant building with shared on-site parking. The space was fully built out in 2022 and includes a dining room with tables, booths, and counter seating, plus a complete commercial kitchen with an exhaust hood and fire suppression system, walk-in cooler, reach-in freezer, broiler, fryers, refrigerated prep stations, and ice machine. The lease runs through April 2032 and renews automatically for an additional five years through April 2037, subject to landlord consent to assignment.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The business competes in the fast casual segment, which includes national chains, regional franchises, and independent restaurants. Its main advantages come from being part of an established national franchise system: a recognized brand, a defined menu, approved supplier pricing, ongoing marketing fund support, and proven technology including a modern point-of-sale system, branded online ordering, and integration with all major delivery platforms.

The business is also less dependent on walk-in traffic than many competitors. Sales are spread across dine-in, online ordering, third-party delivery, and catering, with catering and delivery making up roughly 30% of revenue. Few comparable restaurants in the market have both the catering relationships and the dedicated event equipment to serve large-scale events, which gives this location a revenue source most competitors cannot easily match.

This year the business participated in a major annual regional event, generating roughly $20,000 in profit in a single week, and already owns the tent, equipment, and supplies needed for event service. The business also has established catering relationships with minor league and college sports organizations and a university, and is a listed vendor for a professional sports franchise. With the current owner in a limited role, catering has grown without a dedicated sales effort, giving a hands-on owner a clear opportunity to expand event and catering revenue.
