This established daytime concept operates Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 2 PM and has built a strong local following around breakfast, lunch, baked goods, soups, sandwiches, salads, and homemade specialties. The business also offers catering, private parties, luncheons, and carryout, creating multiple revenue streams beyond traditional dine in service.
The real estate is included in the purchase, giving a buyer the opportunity to acquire both the operating business and the underlying property. The approximately 2,970 square foot building is located in downtown Shelbyville and includes indoor dining, kitchen and bar areas, second floor storage, and outdoor patio seating. Ownership of the real estate provides long term control of the location and the opportunity to build equity while operating the business.
The restaurant offers seating for approximately 48 guests inside, with additional patio capacity for up to 70. The menu is broad enough to appeal to breakfast and lunch customers throughout the week, with offerings that include breakfast favorites, sandwiches, salads, soups, daily specials, lighter fare, desserts, and house made baked goods. The concept has also developed a reputation for homemade cinnamon rolls and rotating lunch specials.
A full liquor license adds flexibility for a new owner to expand into happy hour, private events, evening service, or additional dayparts. The kitchen is well equipped to support dine in service, catering, carryout, and private functions. The current limited hours provide meaningful upside for a buyer interested in growing revenue without immediately expanding the footprint.
A team of 12 is currently in place, helping provide continuity for a new owner. The operation includes established systems, recipes, vendors, and documented processes designed to support a smooth transition. Training is negotiable.
Qualified buyers may be able to take advantage of SBA financing with approximately 15 percent down, subject to lender approval and buyer qualifications. This provides an opportunity to preserve working capital while acquiring an established business with meaningful cash flow.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- A recognizable downtown location, established local traffic, and a community-oriented customer base that can support a well-run breakfast and lunch concept. The property also benefits from real estate ownership potential and relatively limited operating hours, which create room for growth.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include expanding beyond the current breakfast and lunch schedule into evening service, happy hour, private events, and additional weekend hours. The full liquor license, patio seating, catering capability, and established kitchen provide flexibility to add new revenue streams without a major buildout. A new owner could also grow delivery, special-event catering, local partnerships, and targeted marketing to increase sales from the existing footprint.
