Let's delve into the stories of three clients—Breno from Winfield Street Coffee, Zhi Li from Big View Diner, and Peter Steinweg from Firehouse Subs—who navigated their unique journeys with the help of our Certified Restaurant Brokers®.
This restaurant owner opened his concept 10 years ago. With dreams of licensing his stores and eventually franchising, he turned to We Sell Restaurants to sell his Winfield Street Coffee and Sandwiches.
Breno first opened his restaurant, Winfield Street Coffee and Sandwiches a decade ago in Norwalk, CT. Today, he owns more than half a dozen locations and has his eye on franchising the concept in the future.
Breno called Dave Whitcomb in Naples, FL to sell a the Winfield Street Coffee and Sandwich locations in this market. Dave found qualified buyers in Phil and Nick, who were looking for an opportunity to make their mark in Florida. In less than six months, this location sold!
The seller, Breno, said this of his experience with We Sell Restaurants:
"I have worked with Dave on buying locations and also on selling franchised locations. Dave was always professional. He handled most of the negotiations, keeping me updated when important developments happened and only really requesting a meeting when things were very serious, extremely respectful of my time. He was interested in the best match and not simply on the financial result… we have selected the best partners to work with. Dave always carried himself honestly, efficiently and has a lot of knowledge, with a no nonsense attitude. 10/10 recommend."
