High-Grossing Family Diner | $100K+ Monthly | Downriver MI
Business Description
Well-established family diner generating over $100,000 in monthly sales — consistent, proven revenue built over more than 20 years of operation in Southeast Michigan. This is a turnkey, fully equipped operation with a loyal customer base, strong community reputation, and a track record of high-grossing sales that speaks for itself.
The business is currently non-owner-operated, resulting in an overstaffed model with elevated labor costs that compress the bottom line. An owner-operator steps in and immediately eliminates management overhead, right-sizes the team, and captures the full earning potential of a $1.2M+ annual revenue business. This is where the upside lives.
Located in a busy shopping center on a high-traffic main road corridor in Southeast Michigan — consistent daily foot traffic, high visibility, and strong drive-by exposure. The concept is a proven, community-anchored diner that has built genuine loyalty over two decades. Not a startup, not a turnaround — a performing business with a structural inefficiency that the right owner fixes from day one.
Favorable long-term lease in place — 5 years remaining with options. Land contract financing available for qualified buyers. All equipment included. Trained staff in place. Business only sale — no real estate required.
An executed NCNDA is required prior to disclosure of the business name, address, or any identifying information. All inquiries must be directed through the listing broker.
