🔥 Distressed LI Deli | Nassau County | Renovated | Huge Upside | Motivated Seller | Turnaround Opportunity

Broken Operations. Not a Broken Business. Make Offers!

This is a classic turnaround opportunity in a prime Nassau County location.

Just a few years ago, this deli was a strong neighborhood performer generating approximately $500K in annual sales and ~$100K in net income.

Since the current owners took over, they invested in renovations and new equipment—but due to operating the business absentee while managing another location, the deli has lost traction.

Today, the business is performing at under $300K in annual sales with approximately $30K in net income.

The result:
Declining performance driven by mismanagement—not lack of demand.

What You’re Really Buying

You’re not buying the current performance—you’re buying:

• A proven location that historically produced ~$500K in revenue
• A fully built-out deli with updated equipment
• A recognized neighborhood presence with recoverable clientele
• A motivated seller ready to exit

Why This Opportunity Exists

The current owners are overextended running another deli.

This location has been:

• Under-managed
• Lacking consistency
• Missing the owner presence that originally drove success

This is an execution problem—not a market problem.

The Opportunity (Where the Money Is Made)

For the right operator, the path is clear:

Immediate Impact Moves

• Hands-on owner presence
• Restore product quality and consistency
• Rebuild relationships with local customers
• Extend operating hours

Next-Level Growth

• Add delivery platforms (Uber Eats / DoorDash)
• Launch catering for local businesses and events
• Implement basic digital marketing and social presence
• Refresh branding and signage

The Real Play

• Prior performance: ~$500K revenue / ~$100K net
• Current performance: $255K revenue / ~$30K net

➡️ The gap represents significant recoverable income
➡️ With proper execution, sales and profitability can be restored—and exceeded

This is where experienced operators create outsized returns.

Business Highlights

• Prime Nassau County strip center location
• Renovated space with updated equipment
• Long-standing community presence
• Fully operational and ready for takeover
• Transferable homemade recipes

Who This Is Perfect For

• Hands-on owner-operator
• Deli, bagel, or QSR operator looking to expand
• Entrepreneur seeking a value-add acquisition with clear upside

This is not passive.
This is for someone who understands:
👉 Turnarounds create the biggest returns.

Bottom Line

You’re buying a business that:

• Already proved it can perform at a higher level
• Has been under-managed—not rejected by the market
• Can rebound quickly with the right operator

Motivated seller. Opportunity priced to move.
