Market overview

Why California is worth prospecting right now

  • California is the largest restaurant market in the US — and its long permitting timelines create an extended pre-opening window for vendors.
  • ABC liquor license applications are public and searchable, providing months of advance notice on many openings.
  • Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and San Diego each behave as distinct markets with their own opening cycles.
