A well-established, independent BBQ restaurant and full-service catering business located in Lakewood, Colorado, has been operating continuously at the same site for 20 years. It occupies a distinctive standalone farm-style building with approximately 1,110 sq ft of indoor space, plus an additional 600 sq ft dedicated storage facility. A large standout patio supports family dining, group gatherings, and events, complemented by ample parking and convenient proximity to Red Rocks.

The real estate encompasses 0.67 acres and is offered for $1.3M. The property is zoned Mixed Use - Neighborhood - Suburban (M-N-S), allowing a new owner to either continue the existing operation or pursue various alternative uses and developments.

The business operates absentee-style, with the owner contributing roughly 10 hours per week for oversight and catering coordination. Daily operations are managed by a team of three managers and a stable, low-turnover staff, including seasonal student hires refreshed each spring.
Revenue distribution is approximately 65% from counter-service dine-in and take-out, 30% from catering (including online orders, delivery, weddings, and large events), and 5% from currently underutilized liquor sales.

The $1.3M asking price includes the established brand, logo, social media presence, website, proprietary recipes, rubs, smoking techniques, catering systems, key vendor and venue relationships, goodwill, strong reviews, awards, and a recently acquired $120,000 food truck (currently unused).

Opportunities for growth include activating the food truck for events and off-site catering, developing a full bar setup on the patio to increase summer liquor revenue, and expanding winter catering outreach to local businesses, schools, and organizations to help mitigate seasonal dips. Solid distributor partnerships and deep community recognition provide a competitive advantage over national chains.
