Commercial (Restaurant and/or Bar)

Here is your chance to make a living and a life on Drummond Island. This solid yet modest business opportunity gives you the best of both worlds--a restaurant/bar and retail business plus a home to live in! Located on a high-traffic road just a stone's throw from Drummond Island's "Four Corners," this 3,411 sqft multi-faceted restaurant, bar, grocery, and retail space is fully equipped, clean, and well-maintained. The current owner has lovingly owned and operated the business for over 30 years and is ready to retire. The business comes with a Class C and a Specialty Designated Merchant LIQUOR LICENSE and is known for its wide variety of offerings, including a brick oven for delicious pizzas and baked pastas. The kitchen is outfitted with a grill top stove, deep fryer, walk-in beverage coolers, a full deli counter, ice cream counter, and a coffee/espresso bar area. The dining room offers seating for up to 30 guests and features a custom-made fireplace/water feature as an artistic focal point. Retail spaces throughout the building provide ample opportunity to showcase clothing, souvenirs, and more. The building also includes two handicap accessible restrooms, a boiler room, and a private office/storage space. One of the standout successes of the business is its homemade fudge sales, which have built a loyal following over the years. Made in-house with high-quality ingredients and offered in a rotating variety of flavors, the fudge has become a must-stop treat for tourists and locals alike, generating strong year-round revenue, particularly during the high-traffic summer and holiday seasons. The 1.42-acre property offers parking for 30+ vehicles and the potential for outdoor dining expansion under a canopy of mature hardwood trees. A 1,920 sqft hoop house currently supports income from the sale of flowers and could also be used for farm-to-table produce or local goods, further supporting the restaurant's offerings. This is a turnkey operation that's profitable and full of future opportunity --including possible expansion into a microbrewery or event space. As a significant bonus, a charming 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 956 sqft+ home is included with the sale. With a finished basement ideal for seasonal staff housing, extra storage, or workspace, and cozy interior features like tongue-and-groove ceilings, it's a perfect complement to the business. A new metal roof was installed on both the home and business in 2019. Drummond Island is a four-season paradise offering fishing, hunting, off-roading, golf, hiking, and more. The loyal local customer base is enhanced by a strong seasonal tourism market and a growing population of second homeowners.
