BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
East-Central Missouri
A bar and grill that locals have known for decades. A catering business with repeat customers. And a second kitchen with room to become the next go-to breakfast spot or diner.
This two-location opportunity brings together really good food, an established reputation and places with character. The bar and grill is the familiar local joint—full kitchen, cold drinks, unpretentious atmosphere and the kind of place people end up at before the night is over. Its location near I-70 also creates room to introduce it to travelers who haven’t found it yet.
The catering operation serves area businesses, organizations and events from a separate commercial kitchen. That downtown space is restaurant-ready, with seating for approximately 48, giving a new owner the chance to open another dining concept while building on the catering business already there.
Combined revenue was $872,144 in 2025. The business is offered for $59,000 plus inventory; both commercial properties are available separately. Further details are available to qualified buyers under a confidentiality agreement.

FACILITIES: The operation uses two commercial locations totaling approximately 5,357 square feet. The bar and grill has a full kitchen, bar, indoor dining, outdoor space and ample parking. The second location serves as the catering preparation hub, with another commercial kitchen and space that could support additional dining.
The $59,000 business offering includes commercial kitchen equipment, furniture, fixtures, established trade names, phone numbers, social media assets, customer and vendor information, recipes and goodwill, subject to the final asset list. Inventory is additional at cost. Both commercial properties are available for purchase separately from the business.
COMPETITION: The business is operating with an established local customer base and active catering bookings, including repeat clients. Combined annual revenue has remained near $900,000 over the past three years, with $872,144 reported in 2025. Both operations are in place, and the owners are selling as they approach retirement.
GROWTH & EXPANSION: There’s more here than an established bar and catering business. The downtown catering hub has a commercial kitchen and restaurant-ready space for approximately 48 guests. A new owner could bring it to life as a breakfast spot, diner or another dining concept while continuing to serve the catering customers already in place.
The bar and grill has the harder thing to build: a reputation. People know it for good food, familiar faces and the kind of atmosphere that keeps locals coming back—and often makes it a must-stop every week. Its I-70 location also puts it in the path of travelers who may not know what they’re missing yet.
With two kitchens, recognized local brands and room to reach more people through marketing and catering outreach, a buyer has several ways to grow from a business that already means something to its community.
SUPPORT & TRAINING: The owners are committed to a successful transition and are willing to provide training and support. The scope and timing will be agreed upon with the buyer.
REASON FOR SELLING: Retirement
