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...

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...

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 75 White AVENUE in Bragg Creek.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly multifaceted commercial property in Bragg Creek, Alberta. The offering includes a fully functioning, fully staffed, high quality restaurant operation with an outstanding reputation, along with exceptional long term redevelopment potential. Down the road, the site could lend itself to a larger commercial use such as a boutique hotel or other destination oriented project. Its future upside is especially compelling given its close proximity to the approved Gateway Village Development, a 12.6 acre master planned mixed use resort style project.
Bragg Creek has long been a sought after escape for those looking to enjoy the outdoors, great dining, and the charm of a vibrant hamlet just outside the city. The area is well known for hiking, biking, camping, horseback riding, and its collection of unique shops and restaurants. Tourism in the region has always been strong and continues to grow, with more and more visitors making the trip to Bragg Creek each year. Located just a short drive from the world famous Kananaskis Country recreation area and set against the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, the Bavarian Inn Restaurant is a legendary fixture in the Southern Alberta dining scene.
Known by many as the BAV TAV, the Bavarian Inn Restaurant has been serving guests since the 1970's and has built a long standing reputation for quality, consistency, and warm hospitality. It has been a trusted destination for casual family dinners, celebrations, and private gatherings, with owners who have carefully maintained its strong standing in the community over the years.
The building and property themselves are equally impressive. This well maintained, purpose built restaurant offers approximately 3,000 square feet on the main floor, featuring a welcoming dining room along with a separate, freshly renovated lounge and bar area. A beautiful wrap around patio services both spaces, adding to the guest experience and expanding seasonal seating potential. The kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with ample prep space, a large walk in cooler, and equipment that has been kept in excellent condition, with a new commercial flooring just installed. Inside, the dining room offers a warm and comfortable atmosphere, with a great mix of well spaced seating, abundant natural light during the day, and a wood burning fireplace that adds to the ambiance on cooler evenings.
What makes this opportunity even more exciting is the additional upside still to be realized. The full basement presents a range of possibilities, whether built out as an event space, another complementary business use, or even owner’s quarters. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, combining an established and respected business with a beautiful real estate asset and strong future development potential. This is a property that must be seen in person to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. Please call to arrange a private tour. 
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Airdrie.
Are you looking to acquire a well established, locally recognized quick service Mediterranean restaurant specializing in Donair’s, Shawarma, Rice Bowls, Poutine, Fries, Salads, Falafel, kids’ meals, and dessert items. The business benefits from a strong reputation, loyal repeat customers, and a proven menu that is well suited for dine in, takeout, and delivery platforms.
This shop has earned its customers loyalty over the last 22 years with public reviews consistently highlighting fresh food, generous portions, friendly service, and a “you’re family here” style of customer service. Customer feedback consistently talks about “made from scratch” style food, homemade sauces, quality meat, fast service, and a warm owner/operator presence. Reviewers also describe the restaurant as a “must try,” a favourite repeat stop, and one of the “best Donair options in town”.
The business also has an established online and social media presence, including a Facebook page with approximately 898 likes and a 100% recommendation score from 54 reviews, providing a new owner with a valuable base of brand awareness and customer engagement. The Instagram profile further supports the business’s public facing identity and food focused marketing, giving a buyer a foundation to continue building local visibility through social media.
In addition to walk in and repeat local traffic, the restaurant is active on third party delivery/takeout platforms, with menu categories that lend themselves well to online ordering. This gives a new operator multiple revenue streams and the ability to grow through improved digital marketing, catering, delivery optimization, local promotions, and expanded community engagement.
For an owner/operator or family looking to run a business, this is a strong opportunity to step into a recognizable food service business with an established customer base, proven menu appeal, and clear upside for a motivated operator. The concept is approachable, the product has broad appeal, and the existing customer goodwill provides a solid platform for continued success. |
