OVERVIEW

• Investment Overview: Trail's Cafe & Bar represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, multi-revenue-stream food and beverage business with real estate, improvements, and equipment — all in a single transaction. With a continuous operating history since 1965, an established customer base, US-75 highway frontage, and multiple income components, this asset offers a compelling entry point for an owner-operator or a repositioning investor. The property is priced at $880,500 and includes two parcels, all building improvements, and included equipment (FF&E). • Property Overview: The primary parcel at 601/603 Arizona Avenue encompasses 1.19 acres (approximately 51,986 SF) and is improved with a 5,956 SF concrete block restaurant and bar facility. The building was originally constructed in the 1960s and expanded in the 1990s, with the addition providing a dedicated bar and event area. All sections are climate-controlled. The structure is concrete block throughout — a durable, low-maintenance building system appropriate for high-traffic food service use. The adjoining parcel at 00000 Idaho Avenue (Parcel 043-092-04-0-30-08-002.00-0) is a vacant lot of approximately 11,760 SF providing additional off-street parking directly adjacent to the restaurant. This parcel conveys with the primary parcel. • Operational Layout & Seating: The facility is configured to support multiple simultaneous revenue streams. The main restaurant dining area seats 100+, featuring hardwood floors, booth and table seating, a salad bar setup, and outdoor patio seating. The separate bar area seats 24 and is fully equipped with draft beer, back bar coolers, and full liquor service. The dedicated event and banquet space seats up to 90 and is well-suited for private events, receptions, meetings, and catering functions. A dedicated retail display area with polished concrete floors, string lighting, and antique display fixtures provides an additional ancillary revenue component. The pass-through kitchen design allows staff to efficiently serve all areas simultaneously. • Kitchen & Equipment: The commercial kitchen is fully stocked and operational, including a commercial gas range, pressure fryer, commercial mixer, Auto-Chlor commercial dishwasher system, multiple reach-in refrigerators and freezers, prep tables, and stainless shelving throughout. Two commercial hood systems serve the gas cooktops and fryer station, respectively. The kitchen has the capacity to easily serve the restaurant, bar, and event space simultaneously. A complete FF&E inventory will be made available to qualified buyers. • Liquor License: A current liquor license is in place — type: Drinking Establishment/Caterer. This license type supports both on-premise consumption and catering functions, aligning with the event space component of the operation. Buyers should contact the Kansas Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control regarding licensing requirements and transferability. • Additional Income: A portable storage building and carport sales business occupies the north end of the primary parcel under a current lease arrangement, providing supplementary income. This component conveys with the property. • Location & Trade Area: Holton is the county seat of Jackson County, Kansas, located approximately 35 miles due north of Topeka on US-75. The property fronts Arizona Avenue, which is the US-75 corridor as it passes through Holton's western business district. US-75 carries approximately 4,100 vehicles per day northbound and 4,100 southbound through this corridor, providing consistent traffic exposure to both local and through-travel customers. The restaurant has built a loyal local customer base while also drawing out-of-state travelers along the US-75 corridor. The immediate trade area includes a strong mix of national and regional anchors — Casey's, Dairy Queen, Tractor Supply, Burger King, Walmart Supercenter, Taco Bell, 7-Eleven, Sonic Drive-In, and Pizza Hut — confirming Holton's western business district as the primary commercial node for Jackson County. Trail's Cafe & Bar is well-positioned within this corridor and benefits from the same traffic patterns that support these national operators. • Buyer Profile: This asset is ideally suited for an experienced owner-operator looking to acquire an established, turn-key food and beverage operation with an existing customer base and immediate cash flow potential. The multi-space layout — restaurant, bar, event center, and retail — also presents opportunities for a repositioning investor or conversion buyer. The Drinking Establishment/Caterer license and 90-seat event space are particularly attractive for operators focused on private events, catering, and banquet revenue. • Operational Status: The business is currently operating at time of listing. Contact listing agent for details and to set up showing appointments. • Sale Structure: Asking price: $880,500. The sale includes both parcels (601/603 Arizona Ave and 00000 Idaho Ave), all building improvements, and included equipment (FF&E). Terms: cash or finance.
