Key points
Business description
Established Deli | Long Island City, Queens A neighborhood deli institution with over 30 years of continuous operation and the same ownership for more than two decades. This is a high-volume, no-frills operation that has built a loyal, repeat customer base of local workers, residents, and tradespeople — the kind of regulars that show up every day. The Numbers: Gross Sales: $1,950,000 Owner Benefit: ~$360,000 Asking Price: $795,000 Square Footage: 2,000 sq ft Lease: 9 years remaining Employees: 13 Seller Financing: Available The business occupies a 2,000 sq ft space under a long-term lease with 9 years remaining — significant runway for a new owner to step in and run with an established operation. With 13 employees already in place, day-to-day operations are well-structured. Revenue is strong and consistent. This isn't a concept or a startup — it's a proven deli that has survived recessions, a pandemic, and three decades of change in New York City by simply doing what it does well: feeding the neighborhood. The seller is motivated and open to financing for a qualified buyer, which lowers the barrier to entry for an owner-operator looking to acquire a real cash-flowing business rather than build one from scratch. Ideal for: An owner-operator with food service or deli experience looking for a stable, cash-flowing business with an established customer base and a long lease in place. Listed by Ben Jerrom.
