Bates Corner presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational hospitality and entertainment destination in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Situated along US-2 in Gould City, the property combines multiple established business components within a single investment, creating diversified income potential and year-round customer appeal.
The property features four distinct revenue streams, including a restaurant and lounge, an updated eight-room motel, a large outdoor concert venue with capacity for approximately 1,000 attendees, and recurring special events. The entertainment component has already attracted nationally recognized touring acts, creating opportunities for continued event programming and expanded regional draw. The restaurant and lounge serve both local patrons and travelers, while the motel provides lodging accommodations that complement the property's entertainment and hospitality offerings.
Recent capital improvements enhance operational efficiency and guest experience throughout the property. Upgrades include renovated restaurant and bar areas, updated motel bathrooms, durable steel roofing, a commercial pizza oven, screened outdoor dining space, a dedicated pool room, and a large wood-fired heating system capable of serving the facility. A Michigan liquor license supporting on-premise service, Sunday sales, and carry-out alcohol purchases further strengthens the property's operating platform.
Offering a combination of hospitality, lodging, entertainment, and event-driven revenue, Bates Corner provides an opportunity for investors or owner-operators seeking an established business with multiple income sources and future growth potential.
