Emerging Fast-Casual Franchise Platform | $2.8M Revenue | Strong Unit Economics | South Florida Beachhead
April 14, 2026
by an intermediary from Pace University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA
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
