Profitable Korean BBQ Franchise - Owner Absentee -
This fast-casual restaurant concept operating under a national franchise, located in an inline retail suite in a Walgreens-anchored shopping center on a very busy road in Northwest Houston is now available. The concept serves “street-food style” Korean BBQ rice bowls featuring steamed rice topped with a choice of chicken, beef, pork, tofu or vegetables, plus Korean sides such as man doo and kimchi and Korean beverages. The franchise started in 2013 as a single food truck and has grown into a franchised chain after receiving brand investment from one of the Sharks on Shark Tank. As of 2025-2026 the franchise has 55-60 U.S. locations across Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas (plus a large, licensed presence in Indonesia), with system-wide revenue reported at approximately $64 million. Buyer will pay 6% royalty and a 1% advertising fee and a $10,000 transfer. Seller is totally absentee, but business will perform better with active owner. EBITDA shown is while paying a full-time manager. Listing #8392 is also for sale and seller will consider discounting both locations if buyer purchases them together. Please be discreet. Employees are unaware business is for sale. Seller's EBITDA: $118,490 Proforma
