Selling or buying a restaurant is a major lifestyle and financial decision. It is more complex than selling a home, changing a job or starting a new career.
It may result in great financial rewards or large financial losses to buyer or seller. With stakes this huge, it is important that food service business buyers and sellers use professional restaurant brokers. Before we started our Network, restaurant brokerage was fragmented. Restaurant owners attempted to sell their own businesses and residential real estate agents and business brokers with no knowledge of food services listed and tried to market restaurants. That changed when National Restaurant Properties entered the market and began offering professional, one stop shopping to restaurant buyers and sellers. National Restaurant Properties has capitalized on a market and added professionalism and a solid business model to an industry with little professional competition.

We sold our first restaurant in 1968 and have been successfully selling restaurants ever since. Today, "The Restaurant Store" is the largest restaurant brokerage network in the United States - truly "America's Restaurant Brokers."
