Equipment and fixtures included.
The business includes an extensive selection of fixtures, furnishings, and equipment.
This allows a purchaser to gain an established operation without having to begin by sourcing all the major equipment required for a convenience store, commercial kitchen, and food-service business.
A detailed schedule of included chattels and equipment is available for review. The seller will calculate inventory, which is additional to the purchase price, at closing.
New long-term commercial lease
This offering is for the operating business and does not include ownership of the land or building.
The buyer will sign a new, long-term, triple-net commercial lease for the property. The leased unit has separately metered utilities, allowing the tenant to pay directly for the services used by the business.
Under the triple-net lease arrangement, the tenant will also be responsible for its proportionate share of property taxes, building insurance, and common-area maintenance expenses.
This arrangement provides the purchaser with a defined business location while avoiding the substantially higher cost of purchasing the entire commercial property.
