Business Summary

These very profitable establishments sell deli sandwiches, ice cream and smoothies on a highly trafficked street located in an attractive waterfront town popular with summer tourists and recreational boaters. The local population triples when summer residents return to their second homes, and the marinas and high-end galleries draw well-off residents from the region and tourists from Chicago.

Restaurant operations are seasonal, opening before Memorial Day weekend and closing in the early fall. There is ample outdoor seating and the labor force returns consistently from year to year. Sales accelerated rapidly through Covid and reached record levels in 2024. The owner is willing to stay and work in the business for a full summer season to assist the new owner and ensure a successful transition.
