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 Calgary. A Unique, Well Established Specialty Café & Coffee House For Sale in Calgary
Here is an opportunity to acquire a well established, independently operated café and coffee house with a loyal following and a reputation that has been built around great food, welcoming service and a truly unique atmosphere.
The business offers a predominantly plant based menu with a strong emphasis on fresh, thoughtfully prepared food, including soups, sandwiches, bowls, specialty drinks, smoothies, coffee and desserts. The menu also appeals to customers looking for gluten free and other dietary friendly options, helping the business reach a much broader customer base than a traditional café.
What really sets this business apart is the experience it has created. Customers consistently comment on the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, friendly service, creative décor and the feeling that this is somewhere you can come in, slow down and stay awhile. It has developed into much more than simply a place to grab something to eat, becoming a gathering place for regular customers, community groups and special events.
The business has built an excellent online reputation with hundreds of customer reviews and has also received recognition from Calgary media and local food publications. That exposure, combined with repeat clientele and word of mouth, provides a new owner with an established foundation that would take years to recreate from scratch.
The space has personality without being overly formal and lends itself well to the existing operation while also providing opportunities for a purchaser to introduce their own ideas, expand the menu, increase operating hours, add additional events, catering or programming, and continue building on the community that has already been established.
This would be an excellent opportunity for an owner operator who wants something different from the typical franchise or restaurant offering. There is an established business, recognizable presence, existing customer base and a concept that has proven it can create loyal customers.
A unique Calgary hospitality business with plenty of personality and room for the next owner to put their own stamp on it.

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 320 Railway AVENUE in Granum.
Turnkey Restaurant Opportunity – Granum, Alberta
Step into a magical space - a space that’s ready for a chef who’s looking to make their mark.
This completely redecorated and updated building has incredible touches of both hominess and whimsy. With funky nooks for dining and visiting – exposed brick walls, timber beams and hardwood floors, tin ceilings, and leather benches – it’s designed for the comfort and entertainment of visitors.
There’s even an elevated level for private gatherings that features unique décor and exceptional bench seating. From equipment to dishes, everything you need to open your own restaurant is already here and comes with the building.
To make things even more affordable and convenient – there is a back area currently used as a baking kitchen filled with sunshine … perfect for ice cream sales in the summer. With a bathroom and washer/dryer, this space could be easily doored off as a private suite.
Downstairs has a ton of room for storage and houses the newer furnace and hot water heater.
While the artwork and the clocks are part of the owner’s private collection, everything is negotiable.
Making things even more appealing is an adorable, attached 600 plus square foot two-bedroom, one bath, fully-renovated and furnished suite. It comes with washer dryer, dishwasher, tv, sofa and chair, fridge, stove and microwave. This space is currently rented and generating income.
The original building has been completely re-done. All windows and doors have been replaced, the roof has been insulted to R-40 standards and the roof covering has been replaced.
This is truly a unique, turnkey opportunity to walk in and start cooking. It’s a location that’s waiting for a creative chef, someone with a vision and the ability to market this special place and find out what it could really be. A destination dining experience… in a rural setting, in the hamlet of Granum, Alberta.
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary. 4 QSR Locations in Alberta For Sale - Keep The Concept Or Convert To Your Own Business Model The location sizes vary between 473 sq. ft. and 1,176 sq. ft. and are all storefront locations with parking and street access. Rents and length of term are also varied with each location. A rare opportunity to acquire a four-location restaurant portfolio operating under an established quick-service food concept. This offering includes multiple professionally built-out stores with existing infrastructure, leaseholds, equipment, and operating systems already in place. For a buyer looking to step into an existing platform, the current concept can be continued, subject to any required approvals and assignment of the applicable agreements. For an experienced operator, franchise group, emerging brand, or entrepreneur with their own food service model, these locations also offer excellent conversion potential. Each store is already designed for quick-service restaurant use, making them well suited for a buyer who wants to bring in their own concept, menu, branding, and operating style, subject to landlord approval of the proposed tenancy and use. This is an attractive opportunity for a buyer seeking scale without starting from scratch. The existing restaurant improvements may significantly reduce the time, cost, and uncertainty normally associated with opening new food service locations. The stores may be acquired as part of a continued operating concept or repositioned into a new brand, provided the buyer obtains all necessary landlord, licensing, and regulatory approvals. Business name, exact locations, financial details, and further operating information will only be released to qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement has been received. |
