Unique Café Space Available for Lease – Featuring Sankofa Café Franchise!
Location: Washington, D.C. – A Unique Opportunity to Join a Community-Centered Café Franchise
Are you an entrepreneur passionate about culture, community, and the food industry? We have a unique opportunity for you to lease a prime café space in the heart of Washington, D.C. as part of the Sankofa Café franchise!
🌍 About Sankofa Café:
Sankofa Café is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s a cultural hub. Rooted in the spirit of Pan-African culture, our café infuses the rich history and traditions of Black people locally and globally into everything we do. We celebrate diversity, creativity, and community through our food, events, and ambiance. This is a family-friendly space that fosters learning, connection, and inclusivity.
Franchise Highlights:
Family-Friendly Environment:
Sankofa Café is a welcoming space for people of all ages. Our café is designed to be an inviting, safe place where families, children, and people from all walks of life can enjoy delicious, nutritious food together.
Continuing the Legacy of the Sankofa Menu:
We maintain the signature menu of Sankofa Café, but encourage creativity! The existing menu features healthy, flavorful, and culturally rich dishes inspired by African, Caribbean, and African-American culinary traditions. However, we are excited to offer flexibility for new owners to introduce creative and healthy menu designs that align with the café’s mission.
Event Hosting in Collaboration with Sankofa Video and Bookstore:
The café will host regular events, often in partnership with the Sankofa Video and Bookstore, one of D.C.’s most respected cultural institutions. These events will range from live performances, author readings, community discussions, and workshops centered around African heritage, arts, and culture.
Pan-African Theme:
As part of the Sankofa franchise, you’ll embrace and showcase the Pan-African theme throughout the café. From decor to music, food to special programming, the café will celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of Black communities both locally and worldwide.
What We’re Looking for in a Tenant:
A passionate, community-oriented entrepreneur or team with a love for cultural food and arts.
A commitment to the Sankofa mission of cultural celebration and education.
Experience in managing or working within a café or restaurant environment (experience with franchises is a plus!).
A creative flair to design and introduce new, healthy menu options while honoring the franchise’s heritage.
A vision to host dynamic, family-friendly events that bring people together and promote cultural awareness.
Property Features:
Beautifully renovated, family-friendly space with modern amenities.
A high-traffic location in Washington, D.C. with excellent foot traffic and visibility.
Ample space for event hosting, including seating for large gatherings and outdoor space for community events.
A welcoming atmosphere perfect for both casual dining and special events.
This is Your Chance to Be Part of a Cultural Legacy!
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to bring the Sankofa Café franchise to life in Washington, D.C. With a strong community focus, an exciting menu, and a platform for engaging events, this café will quickly become a beloved local spot.
For more information or to schedule a tour of the space, contact helpful listing agent, Alleyah Miner.
Join us in continuing the legacy of Sankofa Café and be a part of something truly special!
