Profitable Cafe For Sale! Drive-Thru $195K SDE, Rapid-Growth Area!

Business Overview:

This is your chance at owning a profitable Cafe for Sale that offers the perfect blend of operational efficiency, consistent cash flow, and long-term market upside. Generating nearly $800,000 in annual sales and $195,000 in verified seller earnings, it stands out as a high-performing daytime concept in one of Charleston's fastest-growing submarkets.
This Cafe for Sale occupies a prominent end-cap along a busy commuter route surrounded by expanding residential communities, new retail, and medical development. A convenient drive-thru, inviting indoor dining room, and comfortable patio give it a steady mix of takeout and dine-in business that produces strong repeat traffic across both breakfast and lunch. The location enjoys constant exposure and excellent visibility, ensuring reliable volume and broad customer reach year-round.
Operationally, this business, offered by We Sell Restaurants, is designed for profitability. Labor requirements are lean, systems are well established, and the space itself is immaculately maintained - from the spotless kitchen and modern equipment to the clean, well-appointed dining areas. Occupancy costs remain low compared to sales, creating an excellent rent-to-revenue ratio that supports healthy margins and steady cash flow. The current owner operates primarily in an administrative and supervisory capacity, with a skilled team in place that can continue day-to-day operations with minimal oversight.
An included mobile food unit expands the business's reach through catering, events, and community activations, generating additional revenue while promoting the brand across the region. Local awareness and brand recognition are already strong, supported by word-of-mouth loyalty and consistent sales patterns across multiple years of operation. A comprehensive training and transition period will ensure new ownership inherits the same structure, staff, and systems that have made the café a proven performer, with growth potential still ahead in this expanding trade area.
With durable systems, strong margins, and a location positioned for continued expansion, this café represents one of the most balanced, profitable, and growth-ready opportunities in the Charleston market today.
