Full Service Hotel & Liquor Store, BC (300km from Vancouver)

The business has been an integral part of the food, beverage and accommodation industry in this community since it opened for business in 1941. The business has been in the same family since 1971 and the second-generation owners who have owned the business since 1995 now wish to move on to other opportunities.
The business currently offers 10 boutique rooms to clients. The rooms are all different, are very comfortable and are decorated with period furniture and local antiques. The rooms are exceptionally well cared for with cleanliness being their hall mark. A new owner could easily add additional rooms inside the hotel. There is a small but very profitable retail liquor store which is located just off the lobby. The owners have incorporated a small convenience store into the liquor store area which is well patronized. The on–site restaurant has been leased to the same operator since 1997 and is well regarded in town. The small pub completes the amenities.
The hotel building is very solid, and is well maintained. The building is ideally located on Main Street at the entrance to town. Access to the business is excellent. The business has a long history of profitability which could be enhanced. The current owners are active in the business on a part time basis and have very experienced, well trained staff for all positions. Owners who are active in the business could easily reduce labour costs
significantly. If you are considering a profitable hotel purchase where all of the heavy work is done and with room to grow you should consider this Hotel!
