The team dives into a listing for eight Scooter’s Coffee drive-thru franchises in the Louisville, KY metro, generating $7.5M in revenue and $1.09M in NOI—a 15% margin. Offered either as a bundle or individually, the portfolio boasts high-traffic locations, compact footprints, and turn-key staffing. However, the listing omits critical details on lease terms and real estate ownership.

Key Highlights:
- $7.5M asking price, $1.09M NOI (~7x multiple)
- 8 Scooter’s Coffee franchises in Louisville, KY
- No real estate included; possible long-term ground leases
- Units average 664 sq. ft. with drive-thru-only formats
- Offered individually or as a portfolio—raising questions about quality spread
