Previously operated as a Sonic Drive-In, this 1617 sq. ft. building was completely renovated by the owners to create the area's go-to dessert destination, open seven days per week and offering walk-up counter service, outside seating for 72, and a drive-through window. The original hoods, grease trap and other equipment are still in place - should a new owner elect to expand the menu to include burgers, fries or similar fare, this can be readily accomplished. This We Sell Restaurants exclusive offering has been optimized for efficiency and streamlined operations, and runs with a staff of 7-10 part-time personnel in the winter months and 16-20 in high season. Many of the crew members attend the local high school or nearby colleges, historically the owners have enjoyed very low staff turnover as a result.
Rent for the business is currently $2,681 per month, and there is ample parking and easy in/out access to major roadways. The owners are willing to consider the sale of the real estate to a qualified, interested buyer. We have lenders standing by with options for secured and unsecured lending on this business.
