Full-Service bistro-style restaurant including real estate for sale
Business Description
Picture yourself as the owner of this thriving bistro that's become the neighborhood's favorite gathering spot since 2020. You'll step into a business where regulars greet you by name and every day brings the satisfaction of serving your community.
This isn't just another restaurant - it's a proven success story. The current owners built something special here, creating a craft food & beverage destination that draws both loyal locals and seasonal tourists. Now they're ready to retire and pass this gem to someone who shares their passion for great food and hospitality.
Let's talk numbers that matter to you. You're looking at normalized 2025 revenues exceeding $825,000 with approximately $309,000 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings. But here's the real advantage - you're buying the entire 1.2-acre property too. No landlord worries, no surprise rent increases, just complete control of your investment.
You'll love the facility itself. Picture 1,800+ square feet of beautifully renovated space seating 37 guests inside, plus an expansive patio accommodating 50+ more. The owners have taken care of everything - new HVAC system, newer roof, improved parking for over 50 cars. Walk in and you're ready to serve customers immediately.
The equipment package is impressive. High-end espresso systems and a custom 7-tap kegerator are just the beginning. Everything's been maintained to professional standards, so you can focus on growing the business instead of fixing problems.
Location couldn't be better. You're positioned on a main artery between major regional hubs, perfectly placed to capture both affluent local customers and steady tourist traffic from nearby state parks. The Village Commercial zoning gives you flexibility for future expansion too.
What really impresses us? This business launched during COVID-19 and still thrived. That resilience proves the strong community connection and solid business model you're inheriting.
Growth opportunities are everywhere. You could boost revenue immediately by opening Sundays and Mondays - that's two additional revenue days right there. Add catering services, expand digital ordering, or introduce delivery. The infrastructure's ready; you just need to execute.
This represents more than buying a restaurant. You're joining a community tradition while building real wealth through both business income and property ownership.

- The immediate market area is characterized by dispersed residential development and limited competing foodservice alternatives, resulting in a predominantly drive-based rather than walk-in restaurant model. The county as a whole exhibits’ median household in-come levels substantially above state and national averages, supporting discretionary spending on specialty beverages and craft food offerings.
In this environment, dependable demand is driven by habitual daily and weekly consumption, local commuting patterns, and community loyalty.
The county reflects above-average median household income and a substantial upper-middle-income homeowner base, which supports specialty pricing. A tertiary radius of approximately twelve to twenty-five miles provides intermittent destination and tourism traffic as-sociated with outdoor recreation, and leisure activities, including visitors, day-trippers, and vacationers. - Opportunities for Growth
