Key Highlights
Description
This is an iconic, well-established free-standing diner located on a state highway north of Denver, Colorado. The business consistently generates annual revenues in the high $800,000s, with a Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $220,000. Breakfast and lunch each contribute approximately 40% of sales, with dinner making up the remaining 20%. The diner boasts a loyal staff, many with over 10 years of service, and the owner currently works less than 20 hours per week, facilitating a smooth handover. The facility includes a 2,330 SF building on a 10,500 SF lot with ample parking and excellent highway visibility. The dining room seats approximately 95 patrons and has been recently remodeled. The sale includes all Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) valued at $90,000, with no leased equipment. Inventory is valued at $5,000 and is not included in the sale. The real estate is not included. This is the only American-style diner with waiter/waitress service in the immediate area, situated in a location with high traffic (approx. 25,000 vehicles/day) and undergoing significant residential development. The median household income in the surrounding area is approximately $88,000. Significant growth opportunities exist due to the current lack of advertising, website, social media presence, or customer loyalty programs. The seller will provide three weeks of training post-closing. The owner is selling due to retirement.
