Virginia Restaurants for Sale
Virginia is for Lovers (and restaurant owners!)
There are more than 16,000 restaurant and foodservice locations in the Commonwealth of Virginia according to the National Restaurant Association. In 2025, Virginia's restaurant industry generated more than $27 billion in annual sales and employed approximately 372,000 people, making it one of the largest private-sector employers in the Commonwealth.
Virginia restaurants for sale are something many buyers explore due to the Commonwealth's strong economy, strategic East Coast location, and highly educated workforce. Virginia's Gross Domestic Product exceeded $650 billion in 2025, placing it among the largest state economies in the nation. The Commonwealth's economy is driven by technology, defense, healthcare, professional services, and tourism, creating strong demand for restaurants across the state.
It's no wonder those buying a business flock to Virginia restaurants for sale offered by Restaurant Brokers. Restaurants are an influential part of Virginia's economy, serving residents and the millions of visitors who travel to the Commonwealth each year. National Restaurant Association research shows that the restaurant industry remains the nation's second-largest private-sector employer and is projected to reach $1.55 trillion in sales nationwide in 2026.
Virginia offers a competitive business climate and access to major East Coast markets. While the Commonwealth does have a state income tax, its top individual income tax rate is 5.75%. Combined with strong household incomes, a diverse economy, and continued population growth, these factors make Virginia an attractive market for restaurant ownership and investment.
