Understand Buy & Sell Restaurant – Advice on Buy Sell Restaurant

Top 10 Restaurants for Sale in December of 2018

Written by Robin Gagnon | Dec 28, 2018 7:32:42 PM

The year has ended with a bang and lots of activity on restaurants for sale online at We Sell Restaurants.  The market was extremely busy despite the holiday time period with overall web traffic nearly doubling over the prior year.  That makes our top ten restaurants for sale even more impressive.  These rose to the top of hundreds of listings making them the most popular of all those for sale. 

How do we measure the best of the best?  We look at the signed confidentiality agreements online as well as outreach to our Certified Restaurant Brokers from texts, phone calls and emails. 

The most activity was generated on two pizza franchises for sale in Alabama that are selling for literally, pennies on the dollar.  The build out for these two stores was close to a million dollars but the sellers hit a snag in their partnership and they are ready to sell at just $99,000 for two open and operating locations.  We have a number of buyers looking at this deal and doubt it will stay in play much longer.
