Step Back In Time - Own This Classic Diner For Sale Just $70,000!

Business Overview:

Own a Classic Diner for Sale in Virginia's Historic Blue Ridge Region - Priced to Move at Just $70,000! Step into a piece of Americana with this charming Diner for Sale, located on the walkable Main Street of downtown Buchanan, Virginia. This turnkey operation is a rare gem—offering a nostalgic, drugstore-style fountain and grill experience that blends small-town charm with real income potential.
Offered exclusively by We Sell Restaurants, this Diner for Sale has been lovingly operated as a true mom-and-pop business. With 1,700 square feet of space and seating for 60 guests, the layout is both cozy and functional, with room to grow. Rent is incredibly low at just $500 per month plus half the utilities, leaving plenty of room for profit.
This is more than just a restaurant—it's a destination. Located among historic buildings from the 1800s to mid-1900s, the business benefits from year-round traffic drawn by festivals, antique events, paddling trips along the Upper James River Blueway, and regular tourism to one of the country's top antiquing towns. With limited dining options nearby, this Diner for Sale has positioned itself as a community staple.
The current menu includes customer favorites like burgers, pizza, and subs, but there's high demand for expanded offerings—especially ice cream, a high-margin item that could further boost revenue. Even better, the diner operates only 30 hours a week, giving a new owner ample opportunity to grow by expanding service hours.
You'll also benefit from a landlord who maintains part of the kitchen equipment, reducing your capital outlay and ongoing maintenance expenses. This is a perfect opportunity for a first-time buyer, single operator, or couple looking for a lifestyle business with upside.
Financing is available for qualified buyers through We Sell Restaurants' trusted lending partners.
Don't miss your chance to own a beloved neighborhood staple with strong community support and room to grow. Contact We Sell Restaurants today to learn more!
