"Over $1M In Annual Sales - 15 Years Of Brand Recognition - Loyal Regional Following - Impressive 6,000 SqFt Fully Built-Out Facility"
Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, award-winning restaurant and entertainment concept with 15 years of brand recognition, a loyal regional following, over $1 million in annual sales and an impressive 6,000 sqft fully built-out facility in a strong trade area of McHenry County.
This is not your typical asset sale! The sale includes an established restaurant brand and menu that has developed a passionate following since 2011, along with an extensive restaurant build-out, FF&E and tremendous infrastructure. Continue the existing concept and capitalize on its established customer base, or take advantage of the versatile facility for your own restaurant, bar & grill, sports bar or entertainment concept.
The Current Operation
Known for its creative, over-the-top menu featuring 50+ specialty sandwiches, subs, paninis, burgers, chimichangas, appetizers and house-made desserts, along with dedicated vegan and keto selections, rotating specials and signature creations customers travel to experience.
The brand has been repeatedly recognized by McHenry County and has received significant local television and media exposure.
And has an exceptional following for an independent restaurant: ~43,700 Facebook followers and a 4.4-star Google rating from 2,400+ reviews. This established audience gives a new owner a marketing platform that would take years to recreate.
Impressive 6,000 SqFt Restaurant & Entertainment Build-Out
The spacious facility offers 124 interior seats plus room for 100 guests on the outdoor patio. The restaurant features a large dining room with booths and tables; separate deli/service counter; multiple televisions; raised performance stage; projection screen; dedicated gaming lounge; 20ft bar; 2nd beverage/bar area; and expansive outdoor patio.
Plus, its extensive commercial kitchen includes a 16ft hood, 5ft gas range with griddle & double ovens, 3 fryers, multiple refrigerated prep tables, walk-in coolers, reach-in refrigeration/freezer, conveyor toaster, panini grill, steam table, commercial meat slicer, mixer, food processor and more.
Separate Gaming Lounge + Bar = Significant Upside
A major differentiator is the newer dedicated video gaming lounge with its own 20ft bar, back-bar display, refrigeration, seating and ATM. 5 gaming terminals are currently installed, with a license for 6.
The gaming lounge was added by the current owners and has not yet been fully marketed or maximized, presenting immediate upside for an engaged owner/operator. Potential opportunities include expanded gaming promotion, later bar hours, watch parties, trivia, live entertainment and other events.
Plus, the business also holds a City Class A liquor license with catering endorsement and video gaming establishment license, providing multiple revenue opportunities beyond food sales.
