Fast-Casual Sushi Restaurant - $787K Avg Sales (3-Year Average) ~$90K Net (2024)

Here’s a rare, straightforward opportunity to take over a high-performing fast-casual sushi restaurant in a busy, high-traffic college area near USD.
This business averages $787K in sales over the past 3 years—all from a lean, efficient 1,197 sq. ft. footprint.

Operating in the same location for 15 years, it’s built a loyal following among students, locals, and nearby businesses—thriving purely on repeat customers and steady foot traffic.
Rebranding is required—but don’t worry, what keeps people coming back isn’t the name on the sign—it’s the location, the routine, and the food. You’ll walk into a steady flow of regulars from day one.

Currently absentee-owned, the business still produced approx. $90K net income in 2024. With hands-on ownership, there’s real potential to increase profitability even further.

You’re not buying a franchise. No royalties. No restrictions. No build-out headaches. Just a proven, well-equipped operation that’s ready to run or rebrand.
Save $300K+ in build-out costs and months of setup time—everything’s done.

The simple fast-casual model is built around sushi rolls, burritos, and bowls—easy to operate and staff. Want to grow? Add nigiri, sashimi, specialty rolls, grab-and-go options, or catering. Tap into marketing (none currently being done).
You have full freedom to evolve the concept.
