Presented by We Sell Restaurants, bring your concept, your menu, and your vision to this impressive second-generation restaurant for sale opportunity in sought-after Howard County, Maryland. With approximately 3,000 square feet, seating for 75, a fully built-out commercial kitchen, and a lease extending through December 2033 at approximately $9,300 per month, this opportunity gives an experienced operator a significant head start over building a restaurant from the ground up.

Imagine opening your doors without taking on the time, expense, and uncertainty of a major restaurant buildout. The infrastructure is already here—including a double hood system, in-ground grease trap, twin fryers, commercial cooking equipment, walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, under-counter refrigeration, sandwich prep coolers, ice machine, and extensive smallwares. The result is a space designed for efficient service and ready to be transformed into your next restaurant concept.

The approximately 3,000-square-foot restaurant for sale layout provides the flexibility today's operators are looking for. With a dining room accommodating approximately 75 guests, a service counter, and a well-equipped kitchen, the space could work for a variety of concepts—from full-service dining and fast casual to takeout, delivery, or a hybrid model. Surface parking provides convenience for dine-in customers, employees, delivery drivers, and pickup orders.

The real opportunity? You are not buying someone else's vision—you are gaining the infrastructure to build your own. Rebrand the space, introduce your own cuisine, develop your own menu, and create an experience designed around today's customer. The existing restaurant infrastructure can potentially save months of construction and permitting while allowing you to direct more of your capital toward branding, marketing, staffing, and launching your concept.

The location benefits from the broader Howard County market, known for strong household incomes, established residential communities, a diverse customer base, and a robust dining culture. This is an opportunity to position a fresh concept within an established commercial environment rather than starting from zero in an unproven market.

There are also multiple avenues to expand the business model. Depending on the concept and applicable approvals, a new owner could explore beer and wine service, catering, delivery, online ordering, corporate accounts, loyalty programs, and targeted digital marketing. The flexibility of the space allows the next operator to build a business model around the customer segments and revenue channels that best fit the new concept.

A staff of approximately eight may be available to convey, and training is negotiable to help facilitate a smooth transition. Current operating hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday until 9:30 PM, leaving room for a new owner to evaluate hours and operations based on their concept.

Lease terms offer long-term stability, with the current lease extending through December 2033 and options available for additional longevity. The lease is subject to landlord approval and qualification of the proposed buyer.

Priced at $300,000, this is a compelling opportunity for an experienced restaurateur, chef, franchisee, or entrepreneur who wants to avoid the expense and lengthy timeline of a ground-up restaurant buildout. Whether you're expanding an existing brand, launching your first concept, or looking for a strategic second location, this space gives you the foundation—now bring the vision.

Qualified buyers may also inquire about unsecured lending of up to $500,000, potentially allowing you to preserve working capital while launching or expanding your business.
