Description
Turnkey Poke Restaurant in High-Traffic OC Location – Ideal for Experienced Owner-Operator
This is an unusual and compelling opportunity to take over a fully built, absentee-owned poke restaurant with huge upside potential.
The seller is a highly successful operator with over 20 thriving poke restaurants in Los Angeles under a popular, trademarked brand. This Orange County location was built as part of an expansion with a multi-unit partner who unfortunately walked away during construction – no fault of the owner. Now complete and operating, the store is ready for an experienced buyer to step in and grow the business.
Key Highlights:
Easy to Operate: Poke concept means no ovens, no grease traps, and no heavy cooking – just fresh ingredients, minimal equipment, and a smooth operational model.
Strategic Location: Located in a busy commercial hub with excellent visibility, surrounded by businesses, hotels, and near the airport. Ample parking and high foot traffic.
Strong Catering & Takeout Potential: A large percentage of current sales come from takeout and catering to nearby businesses, hotels, and airport travelers. There’s significant untapped opportunity to expand local marketing and grow catering accounts.
Built-Out & Ready: Brand new build-out with modern finishes, health department approved, and fully equipped – turnkey and ready to operate from day one.
Absentee-Run with Room for Growth: Business is currently operating at a loss due to absentee ownership. A hands-on owner-operator with local marketing and catering experience could quickly turn this around, just as the other LA-area stores have succeeded.
Flexible Deal Terms: Seller is open to creative financing or a low down payment for the right operator with experience and a solid plan.
This is a great fit for a restaurant owner or manager looking to leverage an existing build-out and brand to scale quickly without starting from scratch. The groundwork has been laid – bring your expertise and drive this concept to profitability.
