RESTAURANTS FOR SALE

A confidential Chamblee restaurant business for sale is generating over $1 million in verified annual revenue — fully built-out, digitally integrated, and offered at $289,000. This is not a startup. This is not a vacant shell. This is an operating going-concern sale with established systems, a trained team, five years of lease runway, and documented customer demand. Qualified buyers only. Proof of funds and NDA required.
