Upscale Specialty Cheese Shop & Bar Lounge – Prime Ontario Location
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, dual-concept business that combines the timeless charm of a boutique specialty cheese shop with the allure of a hidden speakeasy-style lounge. The business has become a local gem, attracting a loyal customer base with its curated selection of artisanal cheeses, gourmet accompaniments, and exclusive lounge experience.
The shop offers a thoughtfully sourced selection of domestic and imported cheeses, complemented by gourmet products and curated pairings that appeal to both casual shoppers and discerning food enthusiasts. Beyond the retail space, the adjoining speakeasy-style lounge provides an intimate and stylish atmosphere where patrons enjoy premium wine, craft cocktails, and elevated charcuterie boards. The dual-concept design maximizes foot traffic during the day and transforms into a destination nightlife spot in the evenings.
With a strong brand presence, consistent year-over-year revenue, and multiple streams of income from retail sales, on-premise food and beverage service, and private events, this business is well-positioned for continued growth. Opportunities exist to expand e-commerce offerings, introduce branded products, or scale the speakeasy concept to additional locations.
This is an ideal acquisition for an entrepreneur with a passion for food and hospitality or for an existing operator looking to add a high-margin, experience-driven concept to their portfolio.
We have a buyer's package prepared for those who sign an NDA.
Thank you for your interest.
