300 brokers. 203 closed transactions. I read every word and translated it for Atlanta and Savannah restaurant sellers.
Here is what the data is telling us right now:
โ 68% of restaurant sellers had zero exit planning before going to market. That number is costing owners real money at the closing table.
โ Sellers in the $500K to $1M range achieved 100% of benchmark price in Q1 2026. The strongest performance in three years.
โ SDE multiples ticked up in the ranges that matter most for independent restaurant sales.
โ 62% of your buyers are within 20 miles of your front door right now.
โ The market is active, well-capitalized, and selective. Prepared sellers are winning. Unprepared sellers are not.
I posted the full report in the comments.
If you own a restaurant in Atlanta or Savannah and are thinking about what comes next - it was written for you.
