About This Opportunity
The Business
This established bagel and deli shop has operated from the same freestanding, 3,000-square-foot building for nearly two decades, generating approximately $1.3 million in 2025 gross revenue. In-house baking, a lean and experienced staff, and a well-rated presence on DoorDash, Uber Eats (including a Top Eats designation), and Grubhub make this a genuinely turn-key operation for a new owner.
The Market
The business sits directly on a major state highway corridor in Central New Jersey, within a dense, high-income trade area of well over 100,000 residents inside a 5-mile radius. Over $500 million in mixed-use redevelopment — combining new retail and hundreds of residential units — is currently under construction along the same corridor, adding significant new customer density within walking distance.
The Opportunity
The site has room for a future drive-through addition, and current hours leave the afternoon and evening dayparts largely untapped. The landlord has proactively offered a new five-year lease with a first right of refusal, giving a buyer long-term control of this high-visibility location. The seller prefers a cash transaction and will provide full financials to qualified buyers under NDA.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Freestanding building with 25 dedicated parking spaces on a major highway corridor, 1.5 miles from a New Jersey Turnpike interchange.
• Nearly 20 years of operating history with long-term staff retention and a loyal customer base.
• Strong digital ordering footprint: Top Eats designation on Uber Eats, highly rated on DoorDash and Grubhub.
• Hundreds of new apartments and townhomes, plus a major mall redevelopment, underway in the immediate corridor.
• Physical potential for a drive-through addition and untapped afternoon/evening dayparts.
