Profitable Beach Market Bar & Grill | SC Coast | $1.56M Rev |
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established full-service restaurant and bar operating in one of the Southeast's most sought-after beach tourism markets on the South Carolina coast. The business holds three combined commercial units in a high-traffic, tourism-anchored retail destination — a location that would be virtually impossible to replicate at today's market rates.

Description
Financial Highlights:Asking Price: $1,600,0002024 Revenue (Peak Year): $1,562,338 | Recasted SDE: $628,7932023 Revenue: $1,740,5373-Year Average Revenue: $1,557,330Gross Margins: 73%–77% — well above the national full-service restaurant average of ~65%At $1.5M revenue, owner-operator SDE exceeds $411,000In 2024, the business generated $628,793 in recasted SDE on $1.56M in revenue.A Below-Market Lease Worth $135K–$407K. The business holds a long-term lease through October 2032 with two 5-year renewal options at $7,024/month — approximately $21/SF. Comparable beach-market restaurant space currently trades at $35–42/SF. The present value of that rent savings ranges from $135,000 to $407,000 and is not reflected in any SDE multiple. This is a distinct, quantifiable asset that transfers to the buyer.Exclusive Rights Competitors Can't Touch. The lease grants the only pizza exclusivity in the property — no competitor can move in next door and undercut the core concept. This is a protected market position in a premium coastal tourism destination.Business Strengths:Proven location with consistent foot traffic driven by beach tourism — multiple economic cycles survivedFull liquor license (beer, wine, and hard liquor) in place6+ years remaining on lease plus two 5-year renewal options; auto-renews unless 90-day notice givenAssignment clause explicitly protects buyer transfer — landlord consent cannot be unreasonably withheldCore operational KPIs — food cost, liquor cost, labor ratios — held consistent across all three years despite revenue volatilityBalance sheet liquidity: $193,524 in cash as of year-end 2025Seller financing available — demonstrates seller confidence in forward performanceOn 2025 Revenue: 2025 revenue of $1.37M was below the business's historical band, driven by documented macro headwinds that compressed discretionary tourism spending across the coastal Southeast. Gross margins held at 73.4%, operational KPIs remained stable, and the business averaged $1.56M in the prior year. This is a revenue challenge, not an operational one — and the path back to $1.5M adds over $95,000 in SDE.What's Included: Business goodwill and going concern, full liquor license, all vendor and supplier relationships, lease assignment with exclusive pizza rights, existing FF&E (including walk-in freezer, bar coolers, and dish machine), customer relationships, and branding.
Additional Information
Growth & Expansion
The business has operated at $1.56M–$1.74M in revenue in prior years, establishing a proven top-line ceiling. Growth opportunities for a new owner include: (1) revenue recovery to the $1.5M–$1.6M historical band — at $1.5M, owner-operator SDE exceeds $411,000; at $1.6M, it exceeds $484,000; (2) owner-operator consolidation — the current two-owner structure carries combined compensation exceeding $422,000/year; a single owner-operator captures the full benefit; (3) marketing expansion — the current digital and social marketing footprint has room to grow, particularly targeting advance reservation traffic from drive-market visitors; and (4) catering and events — beach-market locations with full bars are well-positioned to capture private event revenue during shoulder seasons.
Facilities & Assets
Three combined commercial units in a premier beach-market retail destination on the South Carolina coast. The space houses a full-service dining room, bar, and kitchen with a complete equipment package including walk-in freezer, bar coolers, and commercial dish machine — all purchased in 2025. The long-term lease runs through October 2032 at $7,024/month, with two 5-year renewal options and no security deposit. Exclusive pizza rights for the property are granted by the lease. All tenant-owned equipment and fixtures transfer with the business. HVAC maintenance is tenant responsibility — buyer should inspect and confirm current condition prior to closing.
Market & Competition
One of the Southeast's premier beach tourism destinations, drawing millions of visitors annually with strong seasonal and year-round hospitality demand. The business operates inside a high-traffic beach retail property with consistent foot traffic driven by coastal tourism. The exclusive pizza rights granted by the lease prevent direct concept competition within the property. Independent full-service restaurants compete with chain concepts and seasonal operators, but established locations with long-term leases, full liquor licenses, and proven operating histories represent a significant barrier to entry in this market.
Reason for Selling
The seller will provide 60–90 days of transition support — essential given a two-owner operation with institutional knowledge around vendor relationships, seasonal staffing, and beach-market operational rhythms. Seller will facilitate introductions to all suppliers, vendors, and service providers. Training terms to be negotiated as part of the purchase agreement. Lease assignment requires landlord consent, which per the lease cannot be unreasonably withheld from a qualified buyer — seller will cooperate fully with the assignment process.
