Business Description
Take advantage of an exciting opportunity to own a piece of West Yellowstone history. The business has operated in its original location since the 1960s and run with the same commitment to quality and service since. Rarely during Summer park season do you find the establishment without a wait during prime breakfast hours, lined with patrons and families, many returning year after year, on their visits to Yellowstone National Park—one of the country’s most visited national parks. Over 4.7 million annual visitors, coupled with the decades long legacy of the establishment, provide a remarkably consistent customer base.

Currently operating with virtually no marketing or advertising spend and a focus on dine-in, a new owner could further grow the business by expanding the dining area with the available lot space or capitalizing on grab-and-go options for visitors heading to the park for the day. For the right owner, lot space on the current real estate could also be developed to include other retail projects like a small gift shop, coffee shop, ice cream parlor, or candy shop, all while using the existing brand as a platform.

Listing broker can provide CIM and Financial Overview available pending completed NDA and buyer questionnaires.

Business and real estate purchase total of $2.26m is SBA prequalified. Financing will depend on buyer qualification. Contact listing broker for lender information.

Market Outlook / Competition
Located in the high-traffic gateway of West Yellowstone, Running Bear Pancake House benefits from a steady stream of millions of annual Yellowstone National Park visitors. Commercial real estate in town is strictly limited, creating a strong barrier to entry for prospective competitors. While tourism drives heavy dining demand, few area restaurants focus specifically on traditional American breakfast. Running Bear leverages its iconic local reputation, consistent food quality, and top-ranked digital search presence to capture significant market share and frequent local referrals.
Opportunities for Growth
Immediate growth opportunity is expanding service hours and offerings to include lunch and casual dinner options. Other growth opportunity is promoting grab-and-go lunch and dinner.
