Market Context
Understanding the Yonkers Market
Yonkers is the largest city in Westchester County and the fourth largest in New York State, with a population of over 200,000. The city's restaurant market is meaningfully more diverse and economically varied than the wealthier Westchester villages to the north, creating different concept fit profiles across submarkets.
Lease rates run meaningfully below White Plains and the most premium Westchester corridors. The waterfront and most affluent corridors reach $38 to $56 per square foot annually. Most of the city sits at $26 to $44. Asset sales start from $38,000 and business sales from $110,000, accessible relative to other Westchester markets.
Yonkers restaurant economics reward concepts that align with the specific submarket they enter. The waterfront supports higher end concepts. South Yonkers rewards authentic immigrant cuisines. The mall corridor rewards family driven and value oriented concepts. The diversity within a single city creates meaningful concept selection differences.

How to Buy a Restaurant in Yonkers
A step-by-step approach to acquiring your next location.
Browse Active Listings
Filter Yonkers listings by transaction type, size, price, and specific features like hood systems, grease traps, outdoor seating, and SLA alcohol licenses. Every listing includes the operational details that matter for restaurant acquisitions in New York.
Review the Transaction Structure
Understand whether you are acquiring a full business, assets only, or a property outright. Each structure carries different liabilities, transition timelines, and entry costs. Asset sales protect buyers from prior liabilities. Business sales require deeper due diligence on financials, staff, and SLA license transferability.
Contact the Seller Directly
Each listing displays the seller or broker's contact details. Reach out directly. Ask for three years of financial statements, lease documents, and SLA license details. For New York transactions, also confirm the status of any DOB Letter of No Objection, Place of Assembly certificate, and Department of Health permits.
Evaluate the Lease and SLA License
Yonkers lease rates range from $26 to $56 per square foot annually depending on submarket and location. Confirm the remaining lease term, renewal options, CAM charges, and SLA license type and transfer status. Personal guarantees and good guy guarantees are standard in New York commercial leases, particularly in NYC.
