Investment Overview
BUSINESS FOR SALE | Turnkey Coffee Shop Opportunity
A rare turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built-out and equipped specialty coffee concept in one of St. Petersburg's most dynamic corridors. This offering includes the complete build-out, a full commercial equipment package, and an assignment of a below-market lease with favorable remaining terms, allowing a buyer to open essentially immediately, without the cost, delay, and risk of ground-up construction and permitting in a space with no prior food & beverage use.
Located in the Edge District, on the western edge of downtown St. Petersburg, this site sits amid over 15,000 housing units (new, under construction and proposed), a lively nightlife and dining scene, and one of DTSP's highest Walk Scores. The St. Pete Pier, top museums, and Central Avenue's dining corridor are all within easy reach. This is a prime setting for the right hospitality concept.
• 1,257 SF on Central Avenue's high-traffic retail corridor
• Custom high-end build-out including sintered stone counters and service bar, illuminated feature walls, custom millwork, transparent LED display screens, and branded interior/exterior signage
• Full commercial kitchen and beverage equipment package: refrigeration and freezer units, reach-in units, open display case, cube ice machine, high-speed oven, prep sinks, and complete smallware/service inventory
• Move-in ready: no build-out, permitting, or equipment procurement required
• Assignable lease at rent meaningfully below current market rates for comparable Central Avenue space, with approximately 3.5 years remaining on the term
• Below-market rent represents a real, quantifiable economic advantage to the assuming tenant, subject to Landlord's consent to assignment
• Avoid 9–14 months of design, permitting, and construction typically required to convert a non-F&B shell into a licensed food service space in St. Petersburg
• Real, vendor-invoiced equipment package (not a rough estimate)
• High-end finish level well above typical QSR/café build-outs
• Prime, high-visibility, high-walkability corridor location in one of Tampa Bay's fastest-growing downtown districts
Asking $390,000, reflecting build-out and equipment value plus the leasehold advantage. (Full supporting valuation - build-out costs, itemized equipment list, and lease economics - available upon request under NDA.)
