How to Find a Restaurant for Sale
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvBs7NEZbZc If starting a restaurant from scratch seems too daunting and expensive, another great option is to take over an existing business. The hard part here is finding a restaurant for sale that fits your needs.
One of the best ways to do this is to find a broker. Although they charge a fee, they have insider knowledge on which restaurants may be willing to sell and when their leases expire.
Another option is to stakeout a neighborhood that you are interested in to see which restaurants are performing well and which are struggling.
"Notice which restaurants are always empty. I’m afraid it’s a pretty simple fact that if a restaurant’s never full, it’s not doing well."
This might give you a good idea of which spaces are going to be available soon.
If you are trying to break into the restaurant industry, it makes sense to talk to people who are already in the business. Begin to go out and talk to restaurant owners in your area and let them know that you are looking for a restaurant to take over. By tapping into this network of people, you'll be able to build up your industry relationships while acquiring valuable information.
