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.

Rare opportunity to acquire an established quick-service restaurant operating from a high-traffic shopping centre food court. This compact and efficient 413 sq. ft. operation serves fresh, made-to-order food and benefits from the steady customer traffic, convenient parking and extensive common-area seating that come with a major retail environment. The business has a proven sales history, reporting good annual gross sales. The operation is currently staffed with three full-time hourly employees and two part-time employees, providing an established structure for a new owner to step into. The restaurant is designed around a streamlined food court service model, with meals prepared fresh in front of the customer. Its small footprint helps maximize the productivity of the space while the surrounding shopping centre provides significant customer seating and ample parking without the operator having to maintain a separate dining room. The current lease has approximately three years remaining with an additional five-year option available, providing a purchaser with the opportunity for longer-term occupancy. This is a strong opportunity for an owner/operator or experienced food-service buyer looking for an established business with solid historical sales, manageable staffing requirements and the built-in traffic of a busy retail setting. Confidentiality is required. Please do not approach or speak with staff or ownership directly. Additional information will be provided to qualified purchasers through the listing agent.
