I have sold a Business at Listing # 240. Stand Alone Pub with VLT’s
If you want to get into the pub business and like the small town life, this is one of the best listings I have had in years. Located in a small town just outside Calgary, this FULLY equipped pub with VLT’s is not going to last long. The price is just the start of this great little business!
The fully equipped kitchen is set up to feed the local industrial businesses that surround the location, as well as the locals and people staying at the hotel next door. They can do pizza delivery and catering if you want to set up some additional revenue streams. The pub has vaulted ceilings and pool tables for the customers to enjoy.
The landlord is great and willing to work with the tenant to ensure success in the business. This is a fantastic chance for a bartender or current manager to get started in his or her own business. Call me to walk through this exciting business opportunity!

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 634 17 AVENUE SW in Calgary. Exceptional retail opportunity located on one of Calgary’s most active and recognizable commercial corridors. Positioned along 17th Avenue SW in the Beltline/Mission area, this property benefits from strong pedestrian traffic, excellent street exposure and immediate access to one of the city’s busiest dining, nightlife, retail and lifestyle districts.
This is a rare opportunity for an operator to secure a presence on 17th Avenue SW, a destination corridor known for restaurants, bars, boutique retail, personal services and high density inner city residential traffic. The surrounding area draws steady daytime, evening and weekend activity, making it well suited for food service, quick service restaurant use, hospitality, specialty retail or a conversion to a new concept, subject to landlord approval and municipal requirements.
The property sits in a highly visible inner city location near the heart of Calgary’s entertainment and restaurant scene, directly across the street from Western Canada High School.
With its prominent 17th Avenue frontage, strong surrounding demographics and proximity to downtown Calgary, this location offers an excellent platform for a business seeking high exposure in a proven urban commercial district. Opportunities of this nature along 17th Avenue SW are limited, particularly for operators looking for a recognizable address with strong visibility and built in neighbourhood traffic. 
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary. Here is a great opportunity to acquire an existing quick service restaurant location in a strong northwest Calgary trade area without having to start from scratch. This location is already built out for food service use and may appeal to an owner operator, growing local brand, franchise group, or buyer looking for a ready-made restaurant space that can be operated under the existing concept or potentially converted to a new food service model.
The space benefits from an established commercial area with surrounding residential growth, steady traffic, and access to a customer base that supports takeout, dine in, and delivery style operations. The existing improvements may help reduce the time, cost, and uncertainty that typically comes with opening a new restaurant location.
A buyer may choose to continue with the current concept, subject to the required approvals and agreements, or explore bringing in their own restaurant brand, menu, and operating style. Any change in concept, use, assignment, or tenancy would be subject to landlord approval and any applicable municipal, licensing, and regulatory requirements.
Business name, exact location, lease information, and additional operating details will only be released to qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement has been received.  Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary. Here is a great opportunity to take over a professionally built hospitality space in one of Calgary’s most established inner city neighbourhoods.
The space was designed as a quick service food and beverage operation and would work well for a café, sandwich shop, pizza concept or almost any other fast casual restaurant. There is also a separate licensed room that could be used for evening service, private dining, tasting events, small functions or another complementary concept. Two outdoor patios provide additional seasonal seating and help create even more ways to use the space.
More than $550,000 was originally invested in the buildout, and the assets are now being offered for $265,000. For a buyer looking to open a hospitality business, this is an opportunity to acquire a high quality, ready to operate space for a fraction of what it would cost to build something similar today.
The sale includes the leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Additional equipment may also be available, giving a purchaser the flexibility to adapt the space to suit their own menu and concept.
The kitchen has been designed for efficient service, with existing takeout and delivery infrastructure already in place. The professionally finished interior gives a new operator the ability to open much sooner, while still allowing them to introduce their own branding, décor and personality.

Building a comparable restaurant today would require a much larger investment, along with the time and uncertainty involved with design, construction, permits and tenant improvements. This opportunity allows a buyer to spend less time building and more time opening, marketing and growing their concept.
The current ownership has decided to realign its hospitality operations and make the space and assets available to a new operator. The existing brands are not included in the sale, allowing the purchaser to bring their own vision to the location.
The business identity, operating information, lease details and additional information will be provided to qualified purchasers. |
