Business description
Established Long Island Deli with Strong Base Revenue & Clear Growth Path Asking Price: $229,000 Seller Motivated – Entertaining All Reasonable Offers This is an opportunity to acquire a well-established Long Island deli generating approximately $15,000 per week in sales , located in a high-traffic Suffolk County shopping center. Owned and operated for over 12 years, this business has built a loyal customer base and strong community presence, while leaving significant upside untapped due to minimal operational focus on growth. A new operator can step in and immediately increase revenue through basic modernization and expanded operations. Business Highlights • ~$15,000/week in sales with strong baseline volume • Seller motivated – all reasonable offers considered • Prime location in a busy, dense residential strip center • 12+ years of consistent owner operation • Loyal, repeat customer base with long-standing community presence • Existing equipment in place – deli cases, compressors, and infrastructure • All homemade recipes included in sale Operational Upside (Key Opportunity) This business is currently underutilized, creating a clear value-add opportunity: • No online presence – no website or digital ordering • No third-party delivery (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.) • No marketing or advertising in place • Limited operating hours A qualified operator can unlock immediate growth by implementing standard industry practices. Lease & Landlord Position • Approximately 3 years remaining on current lease • Landlord is open to working with a qualified buyer and is focused on elevating the overall shopping center • Experienced, proven operators preferred for lease approval This creates a strong fit for an established operator looking to expand into a proven location. Growth Opportunities With proper execution, there is a realistic path to $25K–$30K+ weekly sales through: • Extended hours • Third-party delivery and online ordering • Catering to local businesses and events • Branding, signage, and interior refresh Why This Deal Works • Immediate cash flow with clear upside levers • Proven location with long-standing customer base • Below-market entry point for the volume • Ideal “add-on” location for an experienced operator • Opportunity to align with a landlord actively improving the center Ideal Buyer • Experienced deli, bagel, or QSR operator • Hands-on buyer ready to implement growth systems • Operator looking to scale an existing concept into a proven location
