Lot Description:

Property and Assets to be sold to the highest bidder above $50,000!

This is an amazing opportunity to own a turn-key restaurant in a cozy little North Dakota town. This is also a piece of history that has been in operation since 1933!

This auction includes the property & building (fully paid for), the restaurant equipment, and the name. This is a fully operational business that will continue to be open throughout most of the auction!

The building is 2,300 square feet and is rated to seat 65. The building includes a 29' x 25-1/2' dining area; 50' x 8-1/2' storage area; 29' x 11-1/2 overflow dining area/meeting room. The kitchen/food prep areas are not measured because they are several smaller areas all tied together. 

Recent upgrades include the fire suppression system in the kitchen and the roof exhaust system. The fire system is an Ansul R-102 wet chemical system installed in January 2022, and the roof vent was installed in 2021. Both of these were expensive upgrades that have kept the building up-to-date.

The restrooms are both simple and clean. 

The included equipment includes:

  • 8 freezers: 3 chest freezers and 5 upright
  • 3 make lines: a pizza make line, sandwich make line and ice cream make line
  • VERY nice Stoelting ice cream machine. Model E131-3812 (Serial Number #6088803N). Comes with books/manuals
  • Frymaster 4 basket deep fryer
  • Anets 6 foot commercial griddle
  • Ice cream freezer
  • Scotsman ice maker
  • Magic Chef gas stove
  • 2 Cook & Serve food warmers

  • Propane tank is leased--not owned
  • Food & paper product inventory. Any inventory left will be incidental, the owners are not planning to have a fully stocked storeroom as they sell the business.  

Property and Assets to be sold to the highest bidder above $50,000.  Earnest money of 10% of the final bid price is due within 48 hours of the auction close. This is not refundable, but it will go towards the total amount due. Closing will need to be completed no more than 3 weeks later, by April 13, 2023.
