We are offering a proven, fast-casual Italian (pizza & pasta) concept with an established brand, strong unit-level economics, and early but accelerating franchise traction. $2.8M combined revenue (1 corporate, 1 licensed location) 10 franchises sold (4 open/active or near-term, 6 additional committed) Built on a 30+ year local brand legacy in Boca Raton Positioned for regional and multi-unit expansion This is not a turnaround. This is a scaling opportunity at an inflection point. Why This Is Interesting Most franchise opportunities fall into two buckets: Early concept risk (no proof) Fully priced mature systems (limited upside) This sits in the middle: ? Proof of concept established (decades-long brand + profitable units) ? Franchise model validated (units sold, pipeline building) ? Still early enough for outsized equity upside Current Footprint 1 Corporate Store (operating ~8 years) 1 Licensed Store 4 Franchisees in progress 2 recently opened 2 currently in buildout +6 additional franchises sold (pipeline beyond current openings) Growth Engine There is strong inbound interest from experienced multi-unit operators, including groups connected to Dunkin' franchise networks. These operators are: Actively seeking diversification Capitalized Experienced in scaling multi-location systems This creates a non-obvious growth lever: 👉 Expansion via existing franchise operator networks, not cold-start franchise sales. Infrastructure Already Built This is not just a brand. It’s a functional franchising platform: Dedicated President + VP overseeing franchise operations Established training systems + onboarding processes Long-tenured store-level staff (10–20 years) Additional built-out location (Coral Gables) ready for activation 👉 This significantly reduces execution risk for a new owner. Owner Situation - Why Now? The current owners: Successfully built and stabilized the concept Are now focused on a separate high-growth concept (Greek fast casual) Do not have bandwidth to scale both Translation: They’ve done the hard part. They’re not distressed. They’re reallocating focus. Ideal Buyer Profile This is best suited for: Searchers / Operators looking to scale a platform, not run a single store Multi-unit franchisees seeking a new growth vehicle Investors with operating partners targeting franchise roll-ups Franchise expansion (existing demand + pipeline) Multi-unit deals with experienced operators Corporate store optimization + replication Activation of additional built locations (e.g., Coral Gables) This is a franchise system at the “early institutional” stage: Brand: Proven Units: Emerging Systems: Built Demand: Increasing 👉 The next owner is not buying EBITDA alone 👉 They are buying the right to scale the system Next Steps Happy to share: Unit economics Franchise terms Growth pipeline details Financials and expansion assumptions Please reach out via DM or comment below.
