$1,900,000
This is a well-established, state-of-the-art, full-service small animal hospital in one of California’s most desirable coastal communities — the Monterey Peninsula. In operation since 2005, the practice has built a loyal client base on a strong general-practice and emergency-service foundation, supported by a trained, tenured team, and has become a trusted, integral part of the Monterey Peninsula community. The owner is retiring and, to ensure a smooth transition, is willing to stay on for a year or more to support continuity with clients and staff.

The hospital occupies a spacious, purpose-built facility of approximately 8,200 square feet, featuring modern, well-maintained infrastructure and fully equipped for emergency services, general practice, surgery, in-house diagnostics, and on-site boarding, with support from mobile specialty services. Day-to-day operations run on Cornerstone (IDEXX) practice management software, with clean, well-organized records that make diligence straightforward and give a new owner full visibility into production, clients, and service lines.

The practice is anchored by a recurring general-practice and emergency client base that has grown steadily, with general-practice revenue up approximately 25% over the past three years. This consistent growth reflects the practice’s standing as a trusted, long-term care provider for pet owners across the Peninsula.

A turn-key, established hospital of this size and quality on the Central Coast is a rare opportunity. The build-out, systems, and client base are in place and running. This is an outstanding opportunity for a qualified veterinary owner-operator or group to continue serving as an integral, trusted part of the Monterey Peninsula community for years to come.

An established pet business in Carmel-by-the-Sea offering professional grooming, specialty dog treats, and curated retail products.

08/20/2026

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to acquire a profitable and well-established cannabis trucking company serving over 700 clients. This turnkey operation is scalable and comes with a stable and dependable customer base. It stands out as a unique venture, the largest of its kind in the area, with few other companies operating in this niche of the market. The company holds a Type 13 cannabis transport only license, DOT & CA Numbers, and an MC Permit. The license may be amended to allow for the sale of this business to a new entity. Type 13 distributors can move cannabis and cannabis products between cultivation, manufacturing, or distribution premises. This business makes deliveries across California, providing extensive reach and countless possibilities to expand into other markets.

Key Assets Included in Sale
• 3 M2 106 Freightliner Trucks- Reliable, well-maintained, and ready to hit the road.
• Nursery Carts: 27 rectangular (22in x 53 in.) an 26 square (44 in. x 46 in.)carts for efficient transport of cannabis products.
• DOT Compliant HOS Module: Equipped with driver interface and vehicle camera systems for enhanced safety monitoring.
• Parts and Maintenance Equipment: Code readers and other essential tools for vehicle maintenance.

Financials
• Revenue: Approximately $830,000
• Cash Flow: Approximately $245,000

Growth Opportunities
In addition to growing the core market, there are other potential opportunities for a new owner:
• Transporting other loads. Picking up non-cannabis loads could maximize efficiency and provide additional revenue from the same business assets.
• Rescheduling/legalization of cannabis will enable interstate commerce, allowing you to expand to neighboring states.

This is an extraordinary chance to own an unrivaled business. As a fully operational business with a robust clientele, dependable equipment, and multiple avenues for growth, you can concentrate on scaling the business, rather than establishing it. The strong foundation and promising future make this a savvy investment.

08/17/2026

An approximately 2,000 sq. ft. retail showroom in a multi-anchor Monterey shopping center, offered as a near blank slate for the right operator.

The current owner invested approximately $635,000 in the buildout since 2023 — architectural design, permitting, flooring, lighting, signage, stone fabrication, and custom cabinetry displays. The space is finished to a first-class retail standard and ready for immediate occupancy.

This is a rare chance to step into a high-quality, fully built-out storefront in one of Monterey’s established retail centers without absorbing the cost, permitting timeline, or construction risk of a ground-up buildout.

Why the Location Works
•Multi-anchor shopping center with national retail tenants
•Established center drawing both local residents and Peninsula visitors
•Strong on-site parking and center-wide draw
•Well suited to home furnishings, design, specialty retail, or showroom-style concepts

Flexible Terms for the Buyer
Bring your own concept. The existing cabinetry displays and stonework are usable as fixtures, wall treatments, and casework for a range of retail uses. Current ownership will share sourcing contacts for the wood panel and stone materials for a qualified and approved buyer who wants to adapt or extend the existing displays,
Or continue the current product line. A buyer interested in operating as an exclusive dealer of the current cabinetry brand may be eligible for preferred dealer pricing, subject to a separate agreement with the manufacturer.

Lease
Approximately 2,000 rentable square feet in an existing long-term lease. The buyer has an opportunity to take assignment of the current lease or negotiate a new lease directly with the landlord. All lease arrangements are subject to landlord approval, including the landlord’s financial qualification requirements.

Rent and full lease terms available to qualified buyers.

Sale Includes
Leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E). This is an asset sale,
Not Included
Inventory, the business name/trade name, and real estate.

After nearly four decades of serving the community, this highly visible restaurant location is ready for its next chapter. Whether you envision an upscale bistro, contemporary American kitchen, vibrant seafood concept, neighborhood wine bar, artisan pizzeria, farm-to-table café, or an entirely new culinary experience, this established location provides the perfect canvas to bring your vision to life.

Situated within one of Carmel’s most recognized shopping destinations, this spacious restaurant enjoys exceptional visibility, abundant parking, and steady traffic from both locals and visitors. A nearby hotel further enhances the built-in customer base, creating year-round opportunities for success.

The approximately 2,672-square-foot interior and 489-square-foot heated outdoor patio accommodate approximately 100 guests, offering a flexible layout designed for everything from intimate dining experiences to lively celebrations, private events, and special occasions. Multiple service areas—including a dedicated wine bar—allow the space to adapt to a wide variety of restaurant concepts.

Licenses
•ABC Type 41 – On-Sale Beer & Wine (Eating Place)
•ABC Type 58 – Caterer Permit
Both licenses are active and in good standing.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
•Prime Carmel location with decades of established goodwill
•Exceptional opportunity to introduce your own restaurant concept
•Turnkey facility that reduces startup costs and opening timelines
•Flexible dining spaces ideal for events, private dining, and everyday service
•Attractive lease opportunity for qualified buyers
•Strong local and visitor traffic
•Significant upside for a creative owner or hospitality group

Whether you’re an experienced restaurateur, an ambitious chef, or a hospitality group seeking your next flagship location, opportunities like this rarely become available in Carmel. Bring your imagination, your menu, and your passion—and create the restaurant everyone will be talking about.

08/05/2026

Rare opportunity to acquire a landmark, high-revenue restaurant in a premier Monterey-area waterfront destination. This is an irreplaceable setting that benefits from constant tourist activity and strong local loyalty throughout the year.

The business generates approximately $3.8M in annual revenue with adjusted owner cash flow near $600K, reflecting consistent, reliable operating performance across multiple years. Pricing reflects both the earnings and the irreplaceable long-term lease asset. The listing is SBA pre-qualified, and we can make lender introductions for qualified buyers.

A major competitive advantage is the lease structure. The restaurant operates under a long-term legacy lease with roughly 15 years remaining, at occupancy costs of about three percent of revenue — well below typical market rates for comparable coastal restaurant locations. Terms like these are no longer offered and cannot be replicated. The savings versus market rent compound over the life of the lease, representing significant value beyond the operating cash flow alone.

This long-established full-service restaurant includes a Type 47 full liquor license, seating for 150+ guests indoors plus additional patio seating, and approximately 4,000 square feet of well-designed, turn-key space. A separate bar area complements the dining room, and the fully equipped commercial kitchen is built to support high-volume service. An experienced staff and management team are in place to support a smooth transition.

The owner is retiring after four decades of successful operation and is committed to providing training and support through the transition.

The restaurant is fully operational with established systems, a proven seafood and bar program, and a strong mix of visitor and repeat local clientele. Inventory is sold separately at cost.

Shown confidentially to qualified buyers. NDA and proof of funds required.

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own neighborhood liquor store? Imagine skipping the months (or even years) of permits, construction, delays, and endless decisions—and instead unlocking the door to your very own beautifully built store in just days.

This charming boutique liquor store is the rare opportunity every aspiring owner hopes to find: Fully established and ready for its next chapter. It offers all the advantages of a fresh start up without the growing pains—and for less than it would cost to build one from the ground up.

Designed with the neighborhood in mind, this inviting 921-square-foot store makes a big impression in a compact footprint. Every inch has been thoughtfully planned, featuring attractive custom shelving and seven spacious, virtually brand-new refrigerated display units. The current selection includes beer, wine, premium spirits, and an excellent assortment of craft beers, creating a welcoming shopping experience that keeps customers coming back.

Located in a busy shopping center, the store enjoys outstanding visibility, steady foot traffic, and abundant customer parking. Even better, an attractive assumable lease is offered.

One of the best features? This is a business that can comfortably be operated by a single owner, making it an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur seeking independence, flexibility, and room to grow.

Even more exciting, there are several easy opportunities to increase revenue, including:
+ Adding California Lottery sales
+ Offering fresh grab-and-go sandwiches and snacks
+ Expanding product offerings to meet neighborhood demand

The current owners are selling due to personal reasons, creating an exceptional opportunity for someone else to step in and continue building on this strong foundation.
Businesses like this rarely become available—especially ones that are beautifully designed and priced below replacement cost.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to own your own liquor store, this could be the one.

Family owned and operated for more than 15 years, this business has built a loyal customer base and generated strong revenue throughout its history. The sale includes the restaurant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment, and valuable ABC Type 47 liquor license. The equipment has been well maintained and is in excellent working condition, allowing a new owner to step in with minimal additional investment.

The landlord has been great to work with and is supportive of a smooth transition.

Business Highlights:

• Current restaurant concept available, if desired
• ABC Type 47 liquor license included
• Family owned and operated for 15+ years
• Strong historical revenue
• Over 5,000 square feet
