About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 5
- Employees
- 2
- Facilities & Assets
- Fully equipped 2nd-gen restaurant with 24 ft hood, 3-hole wok, 4-burner stove, 2 double fryers, 3-burner grill, 2 stockpot burners, prep tables, lots of storage, built-in cabinets, shelving, two-door storage room, dishwasher, toppings table with under-counter fridges, office, and backdoor. Includes event stage with 9 TVs and production wiring. Great signage visibility from parking lot plus additional entrance and signage from the food court.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Hot pot cuisine is relatively underrepresented in Colorado Springs, presenting a strong opportunity to fill the niche. While dedicated establishments are limited, the rising popularity of interactive dining experiences suggests growing demand.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Strong opportunity to expand through marketing, delivery platforms, catering, and private event rentals. Hot pot is an underrepresented and growing dining trend in the area. The large event stage allows for entertainment, themed nights, or live performances to drive foot traffic. With dual entrances and high visibility, there's strong potential to capture both mall visitors and outside traffic. Great upside for an owner-operator to grow brand and revenue.
