Established Diner with Real Estate Berkshire County
Business Description
Established 7½-year restaurant business with the real estate and equipment included.
This is an opportunity to purchase an established, fully operational train car diner together with its approximately 1,275-square-foot property and a full basement for storage and office space in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
The business has been operating successfully for 7½ years with a loyal customer base, established systems, experienced staff, and consistent annual sales of approximately $300,000.
The restaurant has been operating only four days per week, providing an incoming owner with significant opportunity to expand hours, catering, events, or other revenue streams.
Key Highlights
$324,000 price — business, equipment, furnishings, recipes, systems, suppliers and operating infrastructure and real estate included
Approximately $305,000 average annual sales over the past three years
Approximately $49,000 average normalized owner benefit/SDE
7½ years of continuous operation
Approximately 2,500-square-foot building
Real estate included in the sale
Established vegan/plant-based restaurant concept
Loyal, established customer base
Approximately 3,500 social-media followers
Experienced key employee has been with the business since opening
Owner has successfully operated the business while spending winters in Florida
Currently open only four days per week
Located adjacent to Minor League Baseball Park, an area undergoing redevelopment and investment
Proven Financial History
One of the most attractive features of this opportunity is the established operating structure.
The business has a small, experienced staff, including a key employee who has been with the restaurant for the entire 7½ years. The owner has successfully spent winters in Florida while the restaurant continued operating.
This provides a new owner with an established team and operating infrastructure rather than having to build a restaurant and workforce from the ground up.
The current owner has intentionally maintained a limited four-day operating schedule. A new owner could explore additional revenue through:
A fifth or additional operating day
Expanded lunch or dinner hours
Breakfast service
Catering
Private events
Takeout and delivery
Special events
Increased business associated with nearby park activities and redevelopment
Additional marketing and social-media initiatives
These opportunities have not been fully pursued under the current ownership model.
Starting a restaurant from scratch requires finding a property, negotiating a lease or purchasing real estate, obtaining equipment, developing a concept, building a customer base, hiring and training staff, establishing suppliers, developing operating procedures and spending years building a reputation.
That work has already been done here.
The buyer receives an established business with 7½ years of operating history, approximately $300,000 in annual sales, an experienced team, a loyal customer base and the underlying real estate.
Private sale by owner. No business broker.
Serious and financially qualified buyers are invited to inquire.
The purchaser will acquire a functioning restaurant operation together with the real estate, including, subject to the final purchase agreement:
Restaurant building and land
Restaurant equipment
Fixtures and furnishings
Established business and goodwill
Existing restaurant concept and branding
Recipes and operating systems
Supplier relationships
Website and applicable digital assets
Social-media accounts
Existing customer goodwill
Established staff and operating knowledge
Inventory, at closing
Detailed financial records, property information and additional business information will be made available to qualified prospective buyers after an initial conversation and confidentiality agreement.
