Fully-Equipped Freestanding Restaurant & Bar Merrillville, IN-Turnkey!
Merrillville, Lake County, Indiana 46410-6226, United States
Merrillville, Lake County, IN 46410-6226, US
Fully-Equipped Freestanding Restaurant & Bar Merrillville, IN - Just off The Hwy 30 & I-65 Interchange! "Turnkey - Premium Buildout - Extensive FF&E - Existing Liquor License" Outstanding opportunity to acquire a beautifully built-out, second-generation restaurant in one of Northwest Indiana's strongest retail and dining corridors. This is strictly an asset sale - the existing business, brand, recipes and concept are not included, creating a blank canvas for an experienced operator to introduce virtually any restaurant, bar, brewery, steakhouse, seafood concept, upscale casual dining establishment or other hospitality venture. Spanning 6,826 sqft, this impressive restaurant has been thoughtfully designed with quality craftsmanship, attractive finishes and a highly functional layout that would cost significantly more to replicate today. The spacious dining room currently accommodates approximately 150 guests indoors, complemented by an inviting 30-seat outdoor patio that expands revenue opportunities during warmer months while enhancing the overall guest experience. At the heart of the operation is a fully equipped commercial kitchen featuring an impressive 26ftt exhaust hood, extensive professional-grade cooking equipment, generous prep areas, walk-in refrigeration, ample storage and all of the essential furniture, fixtures and equipment needed to begin operations quickly. The sale includes all FF&E, allowing a new owner to avoid the lengthy construction timelines, permitting challenges and substantial capital investment associated with building a comparable restaurant from the ground up. An additional advantage is the existing liquor license, which is owned by the landlord and available for use with the premises. The liquor license transfers with the location - not the existing business. A purchaser must be approved by the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission (ATC) as the designated “Manager” under the landlord's liquor license, providing an efficient path to offering alcoholic beverages without obtaining a new license. The lease offers exceptional long-term stability with a current base rent of $7,964 per month + NNN, a lease term extending through October 2029, plus four additional 5-year renewal options, providing the opportunity to secure this prime location for decades to come. Whether you're an independent restaurateur, regional operator, franchise group or experienced hospitality investor, this rare asset sale delivers a premium restaurant facility with substantial existing infrastructure, quality leasehold improvements, extensive FF&E, valuable liquor license availability and an outstanding location - all at a fraction of replacement cost. Prime retail space in a freestanding building with outstanding visibility, easy accessibility, abundant parking.

What to know about restaurant and food business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating restaurant and food business acquisitions.
Read the lease like it's the deal
Remaining term, escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a restaurant; a strong concept on a non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.
Pressure-test prime cost — labor plus food
Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.
Confirm licenses and health standing transfer
Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.
Test how much rides on the owner and concept
A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.
Budget for equipment and build-out condition
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buyer questions for this market.
Yes, but they're scrutinized closely because margins are thin and failures common. Verifiable cash flow, a transferable lease, and systems that run without the owner make the difference.
