Summary:

The Opportunity
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a completely rebuilt, turnkey restaurant & bar in the heart of affluent Seminole County.

Originally developed as the flagship location for an award-winning hospitality group, this stunning facility opened in Apr 2026 following a complete 2025-26 demolition and rebuild with over $1.1 million invested in leasehold improvements and equipment.

This is an asset sale, making it the perfect opportunity for an experienced operator, chef, restaurateur, franchise group or hospitality entrepreneur looking to bypass the lengthy and expensive permitting and construction process. An extraordinary chance to acquire a premium, new restaurant facility for a fraction of its replacement cost.

Incredible Turnkey Space
The restaurant encompasses approximately 5,150 sqft, thoughtfully designed with an ideal balance of front-of-house and back-of-house operations. The inviting dining room and bar area seats 139 guests indoors, complemented by a spacious outdoor patio featuring 6 picnic tables and seating for an additional 36 guests, for a total capacity of 175 seats.

Guests are welcomed by an expansive open-concept dining room, a beautiful 35-foot granite-topped full-service bar, modern finishes throughout and an atmosphere that can easily be adapted to virtually any food and beverage concept.

Over $1.1 Million Invested – Everything Is New
The current ownership spared no expense in creating a first-class hospitality venue. Virtually every major building system and component is brand new and remains under warrant, including:
• Complete demolition & new construction completed in 2025-26
• All new plumbing infrastructure & dedicated grease trap
• All new electrical service & lighting systems
• Brand-new natural gas service & gas lines
• Five new 5-ton rooftop HVAC units w/zoned climate control
• New 30ft commercial hood & Ansul fire suppression system
• New fire monitoring & sprinkler systems
• New audio/visual surveillance system w/18 security cameras & alarm
• Brand-new 20' x 12' walk-in cooler w/new compressor
• Brand-new 12' x 7' walk-in freezer w/new compressor
• Spacious commercial kitchen w/separate commissary & prep area
• Large dry storage area & dedicated dish/chemical storage room
• ADA-compliant multi-stall restrooms & private office

The kitchen layout was professionally designed to support high-volume production and can efficiently accommodate a wide range of restaurant concepts. While the space is currently configured for barbecue service, the layout and infrastructure are adaptable for virtually any full-service operation. Existing smokers are negotiable for a buyer pursuing a barbecue concept.

Excellent Lease Available
In today's market, opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. The restaurant benefits from an exceptionally attractive gross lease with real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and even trash service included.

Valuable Florida Liquor License Advantage
The restaurant has been designed and approved to qualify for Florida's desirable 4COP-SFS (Special Food Service Establishment) liquor license. Because food service is required whenever alcohol is served, this license carries an annual cost of less than $2,000, representing a substantial savings compared to traditional quota liquor licenses which can exceed $100,000 in Seminole County. All required seating and square footage thresholds have already been satisfied, making it straightforward for a qualified buyer to obtain their own license.

Endless Possibilities
This offering presents a unique chance to acquire a virtually brand-new hospitality facility without the delays, permitting challenges and 7-figure capital investment required to build from scratch. Bring your concept or franchise conversion here, this location provides the infrastructure to launch immediately.
