A premier opportunity to acquire a high-performing, 40-seater outlet of one of South Africa’s most popular and well-known Mexican-themed franchises. This turnkey operation is situated in a high-traffic location, boasting a loyal customer base and a reputation for quality flame-grilled meals.
The business is being sold as a "Going Concern," allowing for a seamless transition with an existing, trained team and fully optimized operational systems.
Financial & Lease Highlights

  • Average Monthly Turnover: R771,405 (Excl. VAT)
  • Average Monthly Net Profit: R53,000
  • Asset Value: Comprehensive kitchen setup, specialized grilling equipment, and a 40-seater interior fit-out.
  • Long-Term Security: The current lease is secured until March 2030, providing the new owner with long-term stability and peace of mind.
  • Reduced Entry Costs: As a going concern, the franchisor joining fee is reduced; significantly lower than the cost of a new "unopened" franchise store.

Landlord Requirements
Prospective buyers should note that the landlord requires a 6-month rental deposit to secure the lease transfer. This is a standard requirement for high-traffic retail locations and ensures the longevity of the site.

Financial Qualification (Proof of Funds)
To maintain a professional and efficient sale process, the Seller requires all interested parties to provide Proof of Funds (in the form of a bank letter or redacted financial statement) as a pre-requisite for the release of the full financial information pack. This ensures that only serious, qualified candidates are vetted for the acquisition.
Confidentiality & Terms
Specific details, including the brand name and exact location, will be disclosed only to pre-qualified buyers upon the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). All sales are subject to final approval by the Franchisor.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Lease Terms:

lease expires in March 2030

Location:

Prime position within the high-traffic food court of a major, well-established regional shopping centre in Northern Johannesburg. The site benefits from consistent seven-day footfall, anchored by national retailers and a high-density surrounding residential area.

Premises Details:

Prime ±170m² food court unit boasting exceptional visibility and a high-volume layout. The premises are fully fitted to premium franchise standards, featuring a professional-grade kitchen, ample prep areas, and dedicated storage. Ideally configured for high-capacity output in a top-tier retail environment.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Loyalty & Retention Marketing: Leverage the existing (but underutilized) customer database to launch targeted SMS and email campaigns. There is significant "low-hanging fruit" to increase repeat-purchase frequency and lifetime customer value.

Direct-to-Consumer Delivery: Transition from third-party apps to an in-house delivery model to recapture commission margins and own the end-to-end customer experience.

Hyper-Local Brand Awareness: Implement a structured local marketing strategy (SEO, social media advertising, and community partnerships) to capture untapped market share in the immediate vicinity.

Competition / Market:

While located in a vibrant and diverse food court, the business holds a unique market niche as the only provider of Mexican-style flame-grilled chicken. Unlike traditional burger or pizza outlets, this franchise attracts a loyal customer base seeking a specific flavor profile, ensuring a distinct competitive advantage with no direct 'like-for-like' rivals in the immediate vicinity.

Reasons for selling:

The owner is relocating to focus on a separate, large-scale venture. This creates a turnkey opportunity for a dedicated operator to take over a proven model with established momentum.
