Property Description
The Pretzel Hut is a genuine landmark. This restaurant (and live animal exhibit) has been successfully operating for 56 good years, and is a beloved staple of the community. The business produces strong income and sits roadside on heavily trafficked Route 501, a main artery connecting Lancaster and Lebanon Counties. The large petting zoo is nestled into the property's 5 wooded acres, and is a main attraction for locals, kids, and animal lovers. The property is in turn-key condition, and has been owned and operated by people who deeply understand the importance of high quality products, proper care and maintenance, efficiency, cleanliness, organization, and employee loyalty. Food items offered include burgers, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, ice cream, soda, and of course pretzels. There are 45 seats inside the restaurant, and another 20 picnic tables surrounding the property. There are approximately 45-50 parking spaces. At any given time the restaurant is packed with patrons. The business has been extremely successful, but there is still room to grow via expansion from 5 to 7 days of operation per week, remaining open in winter months, and increasing prices to fair market value in order to ramp up profit margins. This is a rare opportunity to move right into an established restaurant in a bustling area and get to work immediately. Numbers available upon request.
