Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Only pub/restaurant in Farmingdale. A unique local hub with no direct competition, drawing steady customers from Augusta, Hallowell, and Gardiner.
• Prime location with built-in traffic. Located in Habib’s Plaza on US-201, anchored by a busy laundromat and other retail businesses.
• Direct residential access. Across from a large neighborhood, with a dedicated crosswalk installed for safe walking access — creating a built-in base of regulars.
• Newly paved, fully lit parking lot. Expansive, convenient, and safe — a major advantage compared to Augusta, Hallowell, and Gardiner, where parking is limited.
• Outdoor balcony seating. Built within the last three years, adding charming seasonal dining space.
• $400,000+ in renovations. Completed within the past five years: new dining area, balcony, paved/illuminated lot, modern finishes, and state-of-the-art kitchen.
• Modern kitchen. Equipped with a brand-new hood system, propane line, and spotless commercial-grade appliances built for high-volume service.
• Comfort & atmosphere. Full mini-split HVAC throughout plus a propane fireplace centerpiece in the dining room.
• Event-ready dining room. Frequently reserved for wedding receptions, retirement parties, birthdays, and private gatherings — an established additional revenue stream.
• Turnkey package. Sale includes all tables, chairs, barstools, décor, POS system, draft system, refrigeration, kitchen line, cookware, utensils, and glassware — nothing is missing.
• Built-in loyalty. A successful Mug Club program provides annual recurring revenue and community connection.
• Comprehensive security. A 24-hour surveillance system with 20–25 cameras covers the entire property, inside and out.
• Unlimited upside. Current ownership has prioritized upkeep and cleanliness. A growth-minded operator can unlock significant potential through events, entertainment, and marketing.

Deal Structure
• Business only (no real estate): $250,000 for trade name, goodwill, and all FF&E (furniture, fixtures & equipment).
• Lease: $6,000/month, triple net.
• Term: Flexible, up to 10 years with modest annual escalations.

Summary: The Fat Toad’s Pub is a rare turnkey opportunity — the only pub in Farmingdale, fully renovated within five years, with balcony seating, a newly paved and fully lit parking lot, direct crosswalk access from a residential neighborhood, state-of-the-art kitchen, propane fireplace, full climate control, and 20+ camera surveillance. With all furniture, fixtures, equipment, and assets included, plus a flexible long-term lease, this spotless, growth-ready business is positioned for its next operator to succeed.
