Marketing description

Results Commercial is selling ONLY the real estate, however, the restaurant and commercial kitchen, along with a majority of the Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) will be included in the sale.
NO lease-back interest from the Sellers. Excellent opportunity for a new operator of the restaurant, café or bistro to step in and begin operations quickly in a high demand South Minneapolis location. Fully operational street level commercial kitchen.
Formerly two separate buildings but now connected with a walkway. Two separate PID#s with Hennepin County. (See OM details for square footage breakdowns and floor plans for both buildings.)
