Marketing description

Step into history & a unique opportunity with the iconic Schnitz Bar in Menno, SoDak. Run the turn-key business as-is or reinvent & reimagine the space as your own! Use as a store-front, for retail or as an office. The building is rich with character, and home to a 30-foot 1930’s Brunswick bar that sets the tone for an inviting bar/restaurant atmosphere. Current (bar) business operations include on/off-sale liquor, food service and video lottery, ensuring multiple streams of income. Current ownership has built a profitable bar operation, earning both salary and year-end profit. An outdoor, covered seating area for 75+ draws in fair-weather patrons. The 2000 sf upper level is brimming with potential! Envision a vintage-style speakeasy or event hall… the possibilities are endless! Menno has no zoning laws so this space could easily be living quarters! With its long-standing reputation, unique historic character, and proven profitability, The Schnitz is more than just a business, it’s a destination and a community staple.

Investment highlights

With some upgrades, the main level could be enhanced and modernized, further creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere for patrons. Whether you keep this business as a bar/restaurant or reimagine it as your own (coffee house, breakfast cafe, retail / office space, etc.) the building is sound and offers so much to work with! (Note: full basement in this building as well for added storage). The upper level (untouched for many years) holds great potential as a residence or event center / private rental. With 2000 sf of space, hardwood floors, former office rooms / patient rooms (it was a former chiropractic office and dentist office), and bathroom; gorgeous wood trim, doors and stair banister. Large windows (covered now) could be reopened to enhance the tall ceilings and let in all the natural light. (**Contact listing agent for photos!)
