We Sell Restaurants is a franchise that focuses exclusively on brokering restaurant business sales. Launched in 2004 by industry veterans Robin and Eric Gagnon, the brand is backed by over 20 years of specialized experience, which shaped a franchise system tailored entirely to the needs of the foodservice industry.
With its headquarters located in Palm Coast, Florida, the company started franchising in 2011 to bring its restaurant-centric approach and structured methods to a broader national market.
It quickly established a reputation for delivering reliable solutions to clients buying or selling restaurants—whether independent establishments or part of larger franchise systems.
What sets We Sell Restaurants apart is its dedicated focus on restaurant transactions. This niche strategy enables the brand to develop deep expertise and maintain strong connections with major restaurant chains across the country.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
The franchise offered by We Sell Restaurants includes a comprehensive training structure to prepare franchisees and their staff for operating a Restaurant Brokerage Business:
We Sell Restaurants grants franchisees an exclusive territory with at least 500 restaurants, defined by geographic or political boundaries. Franchisees must limit all marketing and operations to this territory, though they may serve unsolicited clients from outside it.
Territory rights remain fixed but depend on meeting minimum annual quotas.
Failure to meet these can lead to reduction or loss of the territory. While no other franchisees are licensed within the territory, the franchisor may still operate or provide certain services there.
