Rare opportunity to acquire a well-established deli located in an affluent South Shore Suffolk County community. Operating successfully for more than 15 years, this neighborhood staple has built a loyal customer base and enjoys strong repeat business from local residents, commuters, tradespeople, and seasonal visitors.

The business is currently operated 100% absentee, with an experienced manager in place earning approximately $62,000 annually. The current owner maintains a largely hands-off role and is generating approximately $125,000 in annual cash flow. A hands-on owner-operator can immediately increase earnings to approximately $190,000+ annually by assuming management responsibilities and eliminating the manager's salary, while also benefiting from the operational efficiencies and growth opportunities available within the business.

Strategically positioned near major transportation routes to Fire Island, local schools, first responders, and surrounding residential neighborhoods, the deli benefits from consistent year-round traffic and a unique market position with limited direct competition.

Recent improvements include approximately $150,000 in upgrades, including:

• Brand-new deli display cases
• New flooring
• New ceiling
• Updated equipment package
• Turnkey operational setup

The business offers a clean, modern appearance while retaining its long-standing reputation within the community.
