An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, turnkey restaurant facility and real estate in a bustling downtown block of Biddeford, Maine. This asset sale offers an immediate path to opening your own concept without the time and expense of a ground-up buildout. Key Features & Highlights: -Flexible Platform: Currently operating as a Texas-style BBQ restaurant. Perfect for a buyer wanting to launch a new BBQ/smoked-meat concept under their own brand or pivot to an entirely different full-service dining format. -Prime Downtown Location: Situated in a high foot-traffic district surrounded by strategic neighbors, local breweries, and tourism anchors, backed by a loyal year-round local customer base. -Growth Potential: Significant upside by expanding daytime operating hours (currently operating 5 days/week with weekend-only lunch) and scaling private catering or retail product lines. > Note on Sale Terms: This is an asset and real estate sale—not a brand sale.
