Business Description

Asking Price: $1,200,000
Revenue: $1,900,000

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.

The current owner operates the business on a semi-absentee basis with an experienced management team and staff handling most day-to-day operations.  This creates an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator seeking to become more involved an implement revenue generating activities.

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 to build-out 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.
