Business Description:
The Opportunity
Acquire Red Rocks Barn, a premier, high-profit event destination situated in the heart of the coveted Colorado Springs market. Established in 2021, this venue has rapidly ascended to "Top Rated" status, boasting a near-perfect 4.9-star reputation. Located on the backside of Red Rock Canyon Open Space—minutes from Garden of the Gods and Old Colorado City—the venue offers a rare combination of rustic mountain aesthetics and modern urban accessibility.
Exceptional Financial Performance
This business is an operational masterpiece, generating $330,000 in Revenue with an astounding $215,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE).
- 65% Cash Flow Margin: Reflects a highly optimized business model with low fixed costs and premium pricing power.
- Asset-Backed: The sale includes a comprehensive FF&E package (DJ systems, photo booths, premium seating for 300, and custom "Bridal Loft" furnishings).
- Favorable Lease: Secured through October 2029 at a competitive $4,500/month, with a cooperative landowner willing to extend terms for the buyer.
Location & Operational Advantage
The venue spans 4,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor space. Its location provides a "moat" against competition—offering the dramatic natural beauty of the Rockies while remaining close to the hospitality infrastructure of downtown Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs.
- Turnkey Staffing: Operated by 15 trained part-time employees, allowing for a smooth ownership transition.
- Infrastructure: Features a massive private parking lot (a rarity in Old Colorado City) and dedicated bridal suites.
Immediate Growth Levers (The "Blue Sky")
While highly profitable today, the venue is currently operated with several untapped revenue streams:
- Liquor Licensing: The business currently does not hold a liquor license; adding a bar program would represent an immediate and significant jump in per-head revenue.
- Double Bookings: The layout allows for simultaneous indoor and outdoor events or high-margin daytime rentals (corporate retreats, yoga workshops, and professional photo shoots).
- Vertical Integration: Opportunity to launch in-house catering, décor rentals, or "all-inclusive" planning packages to capture a larger share of the wedding wallet.
Transition & Support
The sellers are pursuing other business interests and are committed to a sophisticated handoff. The deal includes three months of comprehensive training covering the Triple Seat booking software, digital marketing strategies, and established event protocols.
