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.

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.

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.
