Key Highlights

Prime Mississippi River frontage location with boat dock access and high visibility on State Highway 35.
Unique package deal combining a historic saloon (est. 1887) and a modern wood-fire pizza venue with separate liquor licenses.
Significant untapped growth potential as owners state the businesses are not being run to their full potential.

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire two established, complementary hospitality businesses sold as a single package in Fountain City, Wisconsin, boasting direct Mississippi River frontage. The offering includes 'The Golden Frog Restaurant and Saloon' (established 1887), featuring a full bar and fine dining, and 'The Lily Pad,' a renovated venue specializing in organic wood-fire pizza and enjoying stunning river views. The sale includes the owned real estate for both properties (112 & 115 N Shore Dr). Amenities cater to diverse clientele, including a boat dock, playground, volleyball court, and live weekend music. Both venues hold separate liquor licenses and benefit from high traffic along the Great River Road. This turnkey operation serves a wide menu range and has strong return customer loyalty, offering substantial upside for an engaged new owner.
