| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
The current owners do very little marketing and a new owner should update the website and include an online booking system. The restaurant can also be expanded to offer more diversity in regards to the menu items. In the past the restaurant was busier because it had many delicious and affordable menu items, and drew a strong local crowd. A new owner could also capitalize on the history of the building and update the exterior and decor to make it more attractive to clientele. |
