State-of-the-Art South Shore Deli – $25K/Week Sales | Turnkey | 75% Absentee - netting $285K Prime Nassau County Location | Exclusive Plaza Rights | $600K+ Build-Out | Long Lease Seller relocating out of state and ready to make a deal. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-end, fully built-out deli located in one of Nassau County’s most desirable South Shore communities . Opened just two years ago, the current owner invested over $600,000 into a complete floor-to-ceiling custom build-out featuring premium equipment, modern technology systems, and a highly efficient kitchen designed for high-volume production. The business is currently averaging $25,000+ per week in sales and is operating under a semi-absentee ownership structure , creating an opportunity for a more involved operator to further increase revenue and profitability. Current owner operates this about 75% absentee. The deli benefits from exclusive rights within the shopping center , meaning no other deli, bagel, or breakfast competitor is permitted in the plaza , providing strong long-term protection for the business. The location also offers excellent visibility, strong foot traffic, and a loyal customer base. A long-term lease in place through 2037 provides stability for future growth.
