In The News

One of Equity Group of Michigan’s listings, Flanagan’s Irish Pub, was featured on Sept. 27th, on Crain’s Grand Rapids Business website.
Rob Anderson at Equity Group of Michigan, said he’s worked with two of the bar’s prior owners to sell the business and brokered Penrod’s deal for the business in 2019. He believes that the ideal candidate to purchase Flanagan’s would be a restaurant group.
“They have the infrastructure in place to purchase Flanagan’s and manage staffing,” he said, adding that “the restaurant is turnkey, it’s ready to go.”
He anticipates Flanagan’s will find a buyer by the year’s end.
