Innovative Self-Pour Taproom & New American Restaurant Franchise
Business Description
Asking Price: $1,200,000
Revenue: $1,900,000
3-year Average SDE: $210,000
This unique opportunity offers the acquisition of a highly differentiated experiential restaurant and bar concept combining innovative self-pour beverage technology with a full-service New American restaurant and premium bar program. This growing franchise is listed in Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500 rankings. This is the original flagship location in a sought after, high traffic downtown suburban location with management staff in place.
This location along with other establishments in the area were negatively impacted by the main street in the downtown under construction that lasted almost 2-years. Prior to the construction project, revenue was $2.9 million and SDE was $390,000. To replicate this restaurant concept today, it would cost between $1.2 million and $1.4 million before opening the doors.
The business features an interactive self-pour wall offering a curated selection of craft beers, wines and sangrias, complemented by a full bar serving handcrafted cocktails and a chef-driven New American menu. The concept blends hospitality, entertainment and technology, creating a destination venue with broad consumer appeal and strong repeat patronage.
The Company has established a recognized brand in its market by capitalizing on growing consumer demand for experiential dining, craft beverage offerings and social entertainment venues. Its diversified revenue model includes food sales, beverage sales, private events and ancillary growth opportunities.
Investment Highlights
Differentiated Market Position – Unique, technology-enabled hospitality concept with limited direct competition.
Diversified Revenue Streams – Revenue generated from food service, self-pour beverage sales, full bar operations, private events and catering opportunities.
Attractive Industry Fundamentals – Positioned to benefit from favorable trends in experiential dining, craft beverages and social entertainment.
Operational Efficiencies – Self-pour system may support labor efficiencies, inventory control and margin enhancement.
Strong Customer Loyalty & Brand Equity – Destination-style concept with repeat clientele and community presence.
Multiple Growth Levers – Upside through expanded marketing, event programming, catering, additional locations and off-premise channels.
Growth Opportunities
Significant opportunities exist to accelerate growth through:
Expanded private event and corporate bookings
Enhanced digital marketing and loyalty initiatives
Additional beverage programming and seasonal offerings
Ideal Buyer
This opportunity is well suited for:
Strategic buyers in the restaurant or hospitality sector
Private investors or independent sponsors
Owner-operators seeking a differentiated concept
Multi-unit operators seeking an expansion platform
$250,000 Liquidity and $1,000,000 Net Worth required by franchisor for potential buyer (can be a combination of all partners)
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a scalable and highly differentiated hospitality business positioned at the intersection of dining, entertainment and technology.
