Urban European Open Market Bakery
Great opportunity for a great baker. Buyer assumes award winning recipes. High traffic location great for sale of everyday goods, and great visibility for special occasion cakes and pastries. Able to sell coffee and beverages and use shared seating.
Southern Cuisine in Downtown Atlanta
This well known Atlanta Landmark Cafe has been serving freshly made homestyle cooking for more than 50 years. Known as the premier Southern Homestyle Restaurant and Southern Cafe Concept in the Atlanta area. This spot is located in an historic building nestled between many high rise office and commercial buildings. Nestled in a unique historic building, there are details such as wood paneling, multi levels and more than 40 feet of glass frontage on a busy Atlanta street. The lease is a great value, and would cost much more elsewhere in this city block surrounded by office towers. There are plenty of buildings nearby being renovated into condos, office space and retail shops. Lots of foot traffic all day long make this a great place to have a breakfast/lunch place that will make money for a good owner operator. With more than 3500 sf, there is plenty of room to grow. A wood paneled dining room and a bar area with wood plank floors are great assets which need some TLC to restore the beauty of this diamond in the rough. Most equipment in this chef's kitchen has been updated recently. This spot is known by generations of folks who grew up in the area. Convenient to MARTA and walking distance from many office buildings, a quick dining experience will bring people walking for blocks since many in offices have limited time for lunch today.

Small Town Upscale Italian
Small Town Upscale Italian, situated in a magnificent columned and porticoed Greek revival mansion in the center of town. You can own the nicest restaurant in a gracious small southern city for only $175,000 with $85,000 down and liberal Owner Financing on the balance. There is no other upscale sit down dining competition for 10 miles in any direction. The large 4,800 sq. ft. building contains 5 nicely appointed dining rooms on the first floor and a fully equipped kitchen. At present the owner uses only the first floor area (98 seats). However, the restaurant’s size can be literally doubled by using the second floor with very little up-fitting or expense. Second floor area contains 5 more large rooms for use as dinning areas. The building contains 4 large attractive restrooms. The owner is currently averaging $20,000 per month. This restaurant has not yet achieved its full potential. The restaurant is open 6 days for lunch and dinner, with a Sunday lunch schedule. This landmark business will transfer with its name and established customer base intact. The owner will stay to assist with the transition. The sellers have prospered in this location. They intend to move and join family members in business overseas.

It is a great opportunity for a family owned and operated business. It is a gathering place for those who seek a fine dinning experience in this historic charming community. “The New Owner has opportunity to become a small town hero!
Brazilian Grill
This unique South American grill has great potential for increasing sales in its already thriving breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings. It could be converted to another ethnic concept if the buyer did not want to keep the Brazilian theme. It has been successful Ethnic Restaurant for several years. The present owner is unable to give the business the day to day oversight necessary to maximize the operation’s potential. With just under 50 seats in a 1500 Sq. Ft. space leasing for $4500.00 / mo. the restaurant is a perfect fit for the husband and wife management team. The cooking/kitchen facilities are set up for the unique grilled cuisine inspired by its Brazilian heritage. Located in a small but very busy strip center, it has the potential to double its business if it were marketed correctly and enjoyed the oversight of an Owner Manager. Here is a nice restaurant/grill with a good rent in a busy part of town waiting for the right operator. Priced right at $80,000 with a modest initial investment!
But I don't have experience!
We have opportunities for you! Some Franchises offer complete training packages and every type of instruction manual that you might need!
