Overall, the best restaurants for sale this month were strongly focused on Florida.  That could be the focus in other markets on getting children through the school year and kicking off vacations.  There is a seasonality to the sales cycle depending on where the business is located.  Florida, with its strong second home and older residents, peaks differently than other markets.
