Market Competition and Expansion:

Known for its substantial specialty beverage program, fresh made-from-scratch cuisine and inviting atmosphere, drawing guests for espresso drinks, breakfast and brunch, casual lunches and dinners, desserts, cocktails and social gatherings. Few area competitors offer coffee, food, bar, catering and gaming under one roof, making it a true local destination. Roughly $300,000 originally invested in the build-out, plus $100,000+ in cosmetic renovations and upgrades in recent years.

Significant upside for a motivated owner through more active involvement in daily operations, marketing, cost controls and business development. Opportunities include expanding catering and corporate accounts, group dining and private parties, digital and social media marketing, online ordering and 3rd-party delivery, and further promoting weekend breakfast and brunch. Additional growth from seasonal menu promotions, specialty beverage sales, increased patio utilization and cross-promoting the restaurant, bar and gaming to boost visit frequency and average spend. Extended hours and added management systems could further maximize revenue.
