OVERVIEW

An extraordinary opportunity to acquire Aunt Sue’s Country Corner, a beloved Upstate South Carolina landmark operating continuously since 1984. Situated on 7 lush, scenic acres directly along the heavily traveled Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway 11, this turnkey commercial campus features ±8,000 SF across multiple rustic timber-frame structures including a full-service restaurant, ice cream parlor, specialty retail shops, and an outdoor performance stage. Located just 2 miles east of Table Rock State Park, Aunt Sue’s serves as a premier destination stop for tourists, mountain weekenders, locals, and outdoor enthusiasts traveling between Greenville, Pickens, and the surrounding Upstate lakes (Lake Keowee / Jocassee). With a proven track record of $1,000,000 in annual revenue, this offering represents a robust operating business paired with significant underlying real estate value. Property Highlights 1. Established Cash Flow: Operating successfully for over 40 years with a strong, loyal customer base and $1M+ in annual sales (Closed the month of January). 2. Unmatched Location: Excellent exposure along Highway 11, capturing high-volume tourist traffic driven by Table Rock State Park, Caesar's Head, and the Blue Ridge Foothills. 3. Versatile Multi-Building Campus: ±10,000 SF encompassing a full-service dining facility, commercial kitchen, ice cream & dessert shop, and multiple rentable/operable retail vendor spaces. 4. Generous Land Parcel: 7 contiguous acres offering extensive parking, serene, wooded surroundings, outdoor seating, and substantial room for expansion or redevelopment. 5. Famous Signature Events: High-volume traffic draws including the famous Friday Night "All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry" ($19.99) and weekend live music/porch clogging performances. Immediate Growth & Revenue Expansion Opportunities 1. While the business generates steady, profitable top-line revenue, the current operating model leaves massive upside potential for an incoming investor or operator: 2. Increase sales by opening a "General Store" or convenience store in one of the Shops with snacks, food, and drinks. 3. Expand Operating Hours & Operating Days * Open Mondays: Currently closed on Mondays; expanding to 7-day operation captures regional holiday and seasonal tourist traffic. * Extend Evening Hours: Current operations close at 6:00 PM Tuesday–Thursday & Sunday. Adding dinner hours throughout the week converts daytime passersby into high-margin dinner destination traffic. 4. Tap Into Event Venue & Wedding Hosting 5. The 7-acre mountain backdrop and charming rustic structures provide an ideal foundation for a dedicated event venue. Adding private event catering, corporate retreats, or mountain weddings on closed days/evenings represents an untapped, high-margin revenue stream. 6. Optimize Retail Leases & On-Site Lodging * Sublease / Tenant Mix: Optimize lease structures for the specialty retail shops or convert unused square footage into higher-yield retail concepts. * Short-Term Rentals: Utilize a portion of the 7 acres to build boutique glamping pods, tiny homes, or RV hookups catering to Table Rock hikers and state park visitors. Current Operating Hours Monday: Closed Tuesday – Thursday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Friday: 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Signature All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry) Saturday & Sunday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Financials, equipment inventory, and parcel maps available upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Based on South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) traffic count data, here is a detailed breakdown of the traffic volume and dynamics along Highway 11 near Aunt Sue's in Pickens County: Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT): 3,500 to 4,800 vehicles per day along the SC-11 corridor through northern Pickens County and into northern Greenville County (between Table Rock State Park, US-276, and US-25). Peak Seasonal / Weekend Volume: Because SC-11 (Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway) is a primary tourism and recreational arterial, weekend traffic during peak seasons (Spring through Fall) increases significantly above the baseline AADT average, often reaching 6,000–8,000+ vehicles per day on peak Saturdays and Sundays. Key Traffic Drivers & Corridor Context Table Rock State Park Visitor Traffic: Located just ~2 miles west of Aunt Sue's, Table Rock is one of the most heavily visited state parks in South Carolina, drawing over 500,000 visitors annually. SC-11 serves as the primary access road. Upstate-to-Mountains Corridor: SC-11 acts as the main scenic bypass connecting Greenville, Travelers Rest, Pickens, and Oconee County/Lake Keowee to Caesar's Head, Sassafras Mountain, and Western North Carolina. High-Intent Tourist & Recreation Market: Unlike standard commuter routes where drivers are passing through to get to work, traffic along SC-11 consists heavily of day-trippers, motorcycle touring groups, leaf-peepers, hikers, and weekenders who are actively seeking food, ice cream, retail, and experiential stops. Traffic Summary: * SCDOT Daily Traffic Count: ~3,500 – 4,800+ AADT (with substantial weekend and seasonal surges). * Direct Feeder: Positioned directly on the primary access route for Table Rock State Park (~500k+ annual visitors) and the scenic Blue Ridge Foothills travel corridor.
