**This Seller is motivated to do a deal and move on with retirement.** This is one of the best opportunities I have had in a long while for a person to get started in the Pub business. Located on a very busy street in NW Calgary, this long established pub has all the things that you look for when buying a business. There is a strong core of regulars who view this place as their home and are there consistently. There are 3 VLT's to help with the rent, and the pizza is legendary in the area. The pickup and delivery business is very strong, but still has room for growth if you are an aggressive marketer. The kitchen is set up to handle increased volume for an operator who wants to take the food program to the next level. The lunch business is very strong in this location. The Pub is well maintained...
If you are looking for a business that will double as a great restaurant and a very nice little nightclub, then you can stop looking!! This very stylish room functions as a beautiful daytime lunch venue for the surrounding business crowd in the neighboring downtown office towers. Then it converts to a very trendy nightclub on the weekends.
Built very well and with a great sense of style, this room has huge potential for the right buyer. A full kitchen, complete sound system, nice furniture and decor make this a straight move in and operate kind of opportunity. There is TONS of parking across the street for the night time crowd and office towers completely surround the site for lunch business.
Call me for a private tour of this great facility.
This modern and wonderfully equipped European Deli and Grocery is one of a kind in South Calgary. The design is colorful and bright, with lots of shelving and cooler space. The Deli section is fully set up with cold case displays and warm food counter for take away snacks and meals. All the necessary equipment is here, scales, slicers, the works.
The back of the house is well set up for a much more complex operation if you have the skill set. There is a fully vented kitchen in the back for cooking take home meals and daily specials. There is a walk in cooler, as well as a large 10x8 delivery door. This is a great operation for a catering company.
Call me for a tour of this great store with unlimited growth potential.
Today’s business moves very quickly and is heavily impacted by the latest trends. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter not only give business owner’s access to ten’s of thousands of potential customers, and they are FREE.
If you think that these networks are Fad’s or “time wasters”, think again! Here are some amazing stat’s;
By 2010 Gen Y will out number Baby Boomers and 96% of them have joined a social network.
Facebook added 100 Million users in just 9 months, and if it were a country it would be the worlds 4th largest.
80% of Twitter usage is on Mobile devices, people update anywhere, anytime. Imagine what that means for BAD customer experiences?
Social Media is not a fad, it is a fundamental shift in how we communicate
We utilize this same technology to market our listings to a whole generation of young, vibrant, business minded...
We are very proud to announce today, the signing of a new location for Olivier Reynaud and Paul Rogalski, for their newest restaurant Bistro Rouge located in West Market Square on Sirocco Drive SW. This will be a fantastic addition to the Westside Area for people who love great food and great service, set in a contemporary French Brasserie.
The partnership of Olivier Reynaud and Executive Chef Paul Rogalski garnered critical acclaim when they opened Rouge in the iconic A.E. Cross House, located in the historic Inglewood area of Calgary. Since opening their doors 11 years ago, the accolades have poured in including making the prestigious San Pellegrino World’s Best Restaurants List (2010).
We want to thank Olivier & Paul for the opportunity to work with them on this exciting project and we wish them much success in this new venture.
The chance to get into a large facility with lots of seats and a fantastic kitchen are rare, but to do this in the South of the City with 9 VLT's is even rarer!
This is a well-known restaurant and lounge with a long history in the community. They have one of the best pizzas in town and there is lots of room to increase business. There are a number of other interesting points about this business so give me a call to get the full package.
Well…. it’s been a while since I have blogged, but I have a good reason today. I met up with a buddy of mine, Richard Fuller for lunch, he is the owner of The Trough Dining Co. in Canmore. It was just a reason to have a bite and get the 411 on what’s happening in Canmore. If you haven’t been to The Trough, it is reason enough to make the beautiful drive to Canmore. Dana and I love the place, Richard takes great care of his customers, the food is fantastic and it’s a great romantic evening, check it out!
We decided to visit another friend of mine, who I just helped purchase his latest restaurant. I had listed Capo for Giuseppe & Fiona Di Gennaro so that they could focus on their new project on 17th Ave, the stunning Borgo Trattoria. Rob Greco has purchased the old Capo space in Inglewood and it has now blossomed into The Fine Diner and the transformation is...
Well… we have been “kidless” around our house for the last few days, so the wife and I have been enjoying some romantic nights out. My good friend Jared Kichula and his stunning wife Aja have just returned from their honeymoon, so they invited us to join them for dinner at their wonderful restaurant La Vita e Bella, in the historic Dafoe Terrace Building in Victoria Park.
La Vita e Bella has been a labor of love for Jared and Aja, and it shows in every aspect of this warm and sophisticated restaurant. From maintaining the old world feel of the classic brick building, to the pictures on the wall, most of them taken by Aja on their trips to Italy.
We arrived and were greeted by the hostess with a warm smile and taken out to the patio, where our host and his better half were enjoying a glass of wine. Before I can push in Dana’s chair and sit down, a plate of Antipasto...
Well this is a first for me. A client texted me yesterday to let me know that he was sorry that the café in Canmore that he was considering buying had “ditched”. Unsure of what he meant, I called to ask. He informed me that a family member who lives in Canmore was told that the owners of the restaurant had done a “midnight move” and stripped the place bare. Not only that, but they had left a DEAD horse on the front lawn!
Not that I didn’t believe him or his kin, but I had to verify this disturbing turn of events. I called my good friend Frank Barbaro, owner of the great little Italian restaurant Santa Lucia. Frank confirmed that they had done exactly that, and it was a horse skeleton. Seriously….WTF.. why is the realtor always the last to know? Not that I would have showed up with my truck and helped move tables and chairs or anything like that,...
Can I use the word “WOP” without offending my many Italian friends? Well…. in this case I don’t have a choice and if I offend you with the reference, then go down to 1216 - 9th Ave SE, walk upstairs and tell Executive Chef Angelo Contrada and his business partner Jesse Johnson how you feel. But while you’re there..... try the pizza!!
This is the latest homerun from the duo that brought us Sugo in 2001. WOP is located right next door to Sugo in the old Nectar Desserts space. The focal point of the restaurant (besides the great pizza and affordable wine and beer selection) is the “Ferrariesque” pizza oven that pounds out pizza at an astonishing pace. The beauty of the oven is that you get a perfect pizza in less than the time it takes to check the oil in your Pinto. The casual warmth of the room is immediate and you feel right at home. This is...
