(831) 818-1069 DRE# 00357826 Location: Watsonville, California Year Established: 1982 Number of Employees: 3 Real Estate: Leased Lease Expiration: 8/15/2029 Website: www.chuckallenproperties.com Market Outlook/ Competition: Great opportunity for somebody who is eager to work and continue to build on a successful business. There are other caterers in the region, but they do not have a brick-and-mortar restaurant to bolster their business and the restaurant component of the business is what is driving it. The deli has not only remained strong, but is actually doing better than before the pandemic, partly due to the outdoor dining area. We enjoy great support from the community, as we have supported the community as well. Growth & Expansion: Monterey Bay Caterers has great social and corporate support from the local community. The business has enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with many local nonprofits, giving help where it can and receiving support back. Home delivery service is one avenue that could be especially expanded on and there is still a market for catered events, but in a different setting. I foresee the catering market expanding as Covid declines, but it will require some changes.
