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 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.

This is one of those inner city properties where the value is not just in the house, but in the options that come with it. Located in the heart of Crescent Heights, this well kept bungalow offers the opportunity to move in and enjoy it as it is today, hold the property as a long term investment, or explore the redevelopment potential of the site in the future. The home offers approximately 723 sq. ft. above grade with two bedrooms and a bright, comfortable main floor. A spacious living room opens into the dining area and renovated kitchen, with large windows bringing in plenty of natural light. The lower level adds a large recreation room, 3 piece bathroom, laundry and plenty of storage, giving the home considerably more usable space than the above grade square footage might suggest. Outside, the fully fenced and landscaped backyard provides a great private outdoor space, while the single detached garage, covered parking and additional stalls provide parking for up to five vehicles something that is increasingly difficult to find this close to downtown. What really sets this property apart is the land and location. Situated on an approximately 4,499 sq. ft. lot with roughly 37.5 feet of frontage and M-CG d72 zoning, the property offers interesting future redevelopment potential, subject to City approval. Crescent Heights continues to see older properties replaced with contemporary infill, townhome and multi residential development, including redevelopment already taking place along 11 Ave and throughout the surrounding neighbourhood. That makes this a property you can actually use today while keeping an eye on tomorrow. Live in the bungalow, renovate it further, hold it as an investment, or investigate a future redevelopment project when the timing is right. The location is hard to beat. You are just off Edmonton Trail and minutes from downtown, with quick access to Centre Street, Bridgeland, SAIT, transit, schools, parks, pathways and some of Calgary's best independent restaurants, cafés and neighbourhood businesses. The Bow River pathway system and downtown core are also close by, giving this location the walkability and accessibility that continues to drive demand for inner city living. A solid home today, valuable inner city land underneath it, and several possibilities for the future this is a property worth taking a closer look at.
