About the Business

- 10
- Employees

- Facilities & Assets
- Full commercial kitchen with stove, walk in cooler, freezer, SST tables, sinks, 30qt mixer, small appliances, pots, pans, measuring cups, etc. In addition, full service coffee, espresso and latte service. 99 seat capable restaurant, with assorted tables and comfortable open space. Street side window seating. In addition, our recipes and 25 year old sourdough starter comes with the sale price.
- Website
- https://thegranitegrind.com/
- Market Outlook / Competition
- We are in a prime location on Main Street right next to the Rialto Theatre in a small but beautiful downtown setting. There is green space next to the building with outdoor seating. We have great signage. Lancaster has angled parking on Main Street, with additional parking adjacent to the green space. There are two other day time eateries on Main Street, however while crossover is expected, it is minimal. We have won Best Coffee Shop in the Great Northwoods Region for 6 years in the state of New Hampshire.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include additional days open (currently Tues-Sat) especially Sunday, and additional hours (close by 2). We had envisioned expanding into coffee roasting (especially with the name The Granite Grind) and this would be truly unique in our area. We also make all our own bread and our Sourdough starter is 25 years old. This could turn into a revenue stream as our customers love our bread, but we primarily make for our use, with limited sales.
