Got an email this morning from my buddy Rob Hilditch of the Joey's Only group of companies, telling me he is growing a moustache (Texas handlebar with a soul patch I was later informed) to raise money for Prostate Cancer research. So after I stopped shaking with laughter and found my Blackberry on the floorboard of my truck, (all the while trying not to drive off the road) I fired up the laptop and donated $50 bucks to this physically impossible, yet very good cause on behalf of Rob's efforts.

On Saturday night I met some friends at 1600 World Bier Haus, in the Glenmore Landing Shopping Centre at 90th Ave and 14thStreet SW, to celebrate a birthday. Now, it was a short notice kinda thing, so when it was put together, I got a call asking if there was anyway I might be able to help out with getting us a table. (I know a couple of people in the restaurant and pub biz I guess was the rationale for the call, LOL)
Well... I sheepishly called my good friend George Haralabakos to...

Well my trip to Edmonton was very positive for a number of different reasons, but one of which is VERY interesting.
I stopped into West Edmonton Mall after a meeting to grab a bite. As I walked down Bourbon Street, feeling like I was back in Vegas, I decided to park myself at a table in Hudson's. Now this is not my first time at Hudson's, but it was at this location, and it's beautiful! Lot's of TV's, a warm inviting atmosphere and very friendly service proved that I made the right choice. I looked...

Well.. needless to say it was another rockin evening in Calgary's Pumphill district, as the 11th Annual Red Meat Party surged into the night. Countless friends, colleagues and client's of Kahane Law enjoyed the Studio 54 themed festivities with bell bottom jeans, Afro's of every color and description and the best collection of platform shoes I have seen since watching re-runs of Starsky and Hutch.
The food was once again indescribable, as every type of red meat you can think of was BBQ'd, smoked and...

Suggested Blog Articles Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 402 Centre STREET SE in High River. Here is an opportunity to take over a well established bar and grill in the growing community of High River. Sally’s Bar & Grill has built its business around a comfortable, casual atmosphere, traditional pub style food, cold drinks and regular entertainment that keeps customers coming back.
Located on Centre Street SE, the business benefits from a visible and easily accessible location and serves a mix of local regulars, surrounding rural customers and visitors to the High River area.
The restaurant and bar offers an established food and beverage operation with a familiar neighbourhood pub atmosphere. Regular entertainment including karaoke, live music and special event nights gives the business additional reasons to bring customers through the doors beyond the traditional lunch and dinner business.
A significant feature of this operation is its 14 VLTs, which provide an additional and established revenue stream to the business. The VLT operation generates strong cash flow and complements the food, beverage and entertainment sides of the business, giving a purchaser multiple sources of revenue within one established operation.
This is the type of business that gives a new owner several directions to take it. Continue operating Sally’s and build on the existing customer base, local recognition and established revenue streams, or bring your own ideas, marketing and operating style to the location.
For an owner/operator looking for an established restaurant and bar outside Calgary, this is a solid opportunity to step into an existing operation in a strong Southern Alberta community.
High River recorded a population of more than 14,300 in the 2021 Census and also serves as an important commercial and service centre for the surrounding Foothills region. Foothills County recorded a population of more than 23,000 and includes a large rural trading area made up of nearby communities, acreages, agricultural operations and country residential properties.
High River’s location approximately 30 minutes south of Calgary’s southern city limits also gives the community strong regional access, while continued residential, commercial and employment growth throughout the Foothills area supports the long term potential of the local market.
A solid opportunity to acquire an established hospitality business with an existing customer base, recognizable local presence, multiple revenue streams and access to a trading area that extends well beyond the Town of High River itself.
Contact your agent for additional information and details on the business. 
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Sherwood Park. A rare opportunity is available to acquire an existing restaurant location in a well-established Greater Edmonton area market with an attractive monthly rent structure. This location may be ideal for an owner operator, expanding restaurant group, or buyer seeking a lower overhead entry point into an existing food service space.
The premises are already set up for restaurant use, offering a buyer the potential to reduce the time and expense normally associated with developing a new location. The space could suit a variety of quick service or fast casual food concepts, depending on the buyer’s business plan, operational requirements, and landlord approval.
A purchaser may have the option to continue with the current concept, subject to the required approvals and agreements, or use the existing infrastructure as a foundation for their own restaurant model. Any change to the business concept, use, assignment, or tenancy would require landlord approval, along with all applicable licensing and regulatory approvals. 
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary. Here’s a great opportunity to acquire a Calgary commercial property offering a versatile combination of warehouse with upper mezzanine office space. This type of property can appeal to a wide range of owner users, investors, service companies, distribution businesses, contractors, light industrial users, storage based operations, or businesses needing both functional floor area and dedicated office space under one roof.
The building provides practical warehouse space that can support inventory, equipment, supplies, vehicle related needs, light assembly, storage, fulfilment, dispatch, or general business operations. The upper mezzanine office area adds valuable separation between administrative functions and day-to-day operations, creating a more efficient layout for businesses that require private offices, staff areas, meeting space, or management oversight above the main work area.
For an owner/user, this property offers the ability to control occupancy costs, build long term equity, and customize the space around the needs of the business. For an investor, the property offers flexibility due to its functional layout and broad appeal to users who need a combination of warehouse space, office space, and operational flexibility.
The property may be well suited for a variety of commercial uses, including warehousing, distribution, service based businesses, e-commerce fulfilment, construction related operations, specialty retail with storage needs, light industrial users, equipment based businesses, or companies simply looking for a practical Calgary base of operations.
Properties that offer this mix of warehouse functionality and mezzanine office space can be difficult to find, particularly for buyers looking for a property that can serve multiple purposes without being limited to one specific business type.
There may also be an opportunity to purchase certain HVAC business assets & equipment and/or the client list in a separate transaction, subject to negotiation and seller approval. |
