I just saw this ad on craigslist.

Here's the text from the ad:

This is the genuine item! A well appointed 'American Diner Style' restaurant in the heart of the State Capital with lots of pedestrian traffic. This restaurant serves food in generous portions: from hefty burgers to Philly Cheese Steaks. And everything in between!

All the furniture on the premises is new. Yet the look is that of an authentic 1950’s ‘diner’, This place is loaded with good feelings and lots of yesteryear charm. Yet the kitchen areas are modern and spotlessly clean!

After 3 years of operation, gross annual sales have reached $500,000 and are still climbing. 'Take Out' and 'Delivery of hot food lunches'(to the thousands of state government employees in the City) now comprise an increasing portion of sales.

This is the only restaurant of its type in the downtown area which is fully dedicated to what American hamburger ‘joints’ used to look and feel like, even down to the rotating vinyl counter stools.

Offered for sale at $175,000. Seller possibly willing to carry a note for a serious party with a down payment of $ 50K.

For additional details, call (360) 532-6800.

 

Crazy. I hope whoever buys it keeps making those cheesesteak sandwiches. And man, that cheesecake...
