Profitable & Growing Convenience & Food Store
Business Description
Position your next investment in the heart of Ingonish along the world-renowned Cabot Trail—one of Atlantic Canada’s most travelled tourism corridors. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, year-round commercial property with multiple revenue streams in a high-visibility, high-traffic location. This established business combines convenience retail, grocery, and a kitchen offering takeout, complemented by a seasonal ice cream and confectionary operation on the lower level. The diversified setup captures both local and tourist demand, maximizing income potential across seasons. The building, originally constructed in 1985, has been consistently maintained and upgraded, reflecting pride of ownership and ongoing reinvestment. Situated on a generous 20,000 sq ft lot, the property offers ample parking, outdoor seating, and clear potential for further expansion or redevelopment to increase revenue. With Ingonish experiencing continued growth driven by tourism, outdoor recreation, and ongoing investment in the Cabot Trail region, this offering presents a strong opportunity for an investor or operator seeking a stable, scalable business with proven performance. Turnkey, well-located, and positioned for future growth—opportunities like this in Ingonish are limited.
