Lakeside Restaurant and Bar

A long-running family-owned restaurant and bar on the Lake Michigan shoreline, sold with its 1.5-acre property, serving Certified Angus Beef and Great Lakes perch.

Business Highlights

  • Long-running family-owned restaurant on the Lake Michigan shoreline
  • A 1.5-acre property worth $750k to $1M is included in the sale but sits outside the asking price
  • Earnings have grown substantially over recent years
  • Menu features Certified Angus Beef, Great Lakes perch, seafood and a full bar

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • A lakeside restaurant in Michigan is seasonal. What does revenue look like month by month?
  • The property is included but outside the asking price. How is that structured?
  • What is the kitchen and front-of-house staffing, and how is it recruited seasonally?
  • What liquor licence is held and how does it transfer in Michigan?
  • What condition is the building in, and what capital spend is due?

Opportunities

  • Shoreline property with 1.5 acres is the kind of location that cannot be replicated nearby
  • Events and private hire suit a lakeside site and extend the usable season
  • Earnings have grown sharply without any change of ownership or concept
  • Owning the land gives a buyer financing and development options beyond the restaurant
