A RARE BUSINESS & INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH ONE-OF-A-KIND CHARACTER! The Merritt Auction House has been a staple in the community for years and is now ready for a new owner! Situated on nearly 4 acres at the highly visible corner of M-55 and S. Merritt Rd., this property offers excellent exposure along a major highway connecting travelers to Northwest Michigan. Step inside and experience the old-fashioned charm and unmistakable character of an Old Western saloon. From its rustic atmosphere to its unique layout, this property has a nostalgic feel that simply can't be recreated in a typical commercial building. It's the kind of place that has personality, history and a story to tell, offering the perfect backdrop for a destination restaurant, bar, entertainment venue or an entirely new concept. Offering over 4,100 sq. ft., the building features a spacious dining area, full bar, men's and women's restrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, recreation area with pool table, three separate public entrances, and a private rear kitchen entrance. The restaurant is being sold with its contents, including tables, chairs, kitchen equipment and more, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a potentially turnkey operation. Liquor license and To-Go license are included in the sale. The possibilities extend well beyond the existing bar and restaurant. The site has also been evaluated and approved for a gas station or convenience store, creating exciting redevelopment or expansion potential. The updated septic system is designed to accommodate a substantial expansion, potentially allowing for a gas station/truck stop in addition to the existing bar and restaurant operation. With nearly four acres, highway frontage, excellent visibility, established Old West character, equipment, licensing and future development potential, the possibilities here truly are endless!
