Market Competition and Expansion:
Normal local competition for a high volume area. With the major hit to the restaurant industry due to the COVID19 pandemic, the industry saw a lot of turnover. However, according to reporting from Bloomberg Businessweek, which uses data from consulting firms Technomic Inc. and Pentallect Inc. Furthermore, Yelp Inc. did an independent review of full-service restaurants using its own internal data found that Americans are increasingly preferring independent restaurants over chain enterprises. The central location of this business along with it's ease of access and breakfast/lunch only schedule gives it clear advantages in a changing industry.
Room to extend hours to dinner service as restaurant is currently only open from 8AM-2PM. The restaurant's advertising is also minimal and could also be expanded to attract more diners.
Reason for Selling:
Retirement.
