Erin touched on this last week and I thought I would follow it up with some more info. I opened the Silvertone about 8 years ago, owned it for three years and sold it to Sarah who had been working for me since the first day the place opened. She has had it for over 4 years now. The Cafe (okay, Diner...Whatever!) is in a small strip mall off rt146 in Grafton. Affordable rent, parking, no triple net, decent landlord from town, cheap business insurance, very low overhead and a good steady customer base make this a great business opportunity.
When I ran it we did things like co-sponsor shows at the Grafton Inn, Catered CD release parties at the Lucky Dog, Opened Late Nights for special occasions (after parties so to speak) did lunches for a while, ran pitch tournaments in the evening once a week and even had some acoustic live music there but the bulk of the business was the normal regulars from town. Sarah has just catered to them for the most part and is doing well. It is an all cash business, open 6-11am Mon-Fri and 7-Noon Sat-Sun that has I think 3 part time people plus Sarah. It seats 45 but at one point I had 3 tables of 2 outside. I am not going to get into specifics but it afforded me a nice living when I owned it but health problems forced me to sell it. Sarah is doing well with it but recently got married and wants to move on to the next phase of her life. Who can blame her, she's worked there since she was 17!

Someone could come in and just do business as usual and do well but for someone with some drive and business sense that is willing to do some leg work and promote as well as expand a bit (lunches, catering, longer breakfast hours, special brunches etc) This could be an amazing business. Yes, you can keep the name Silvertone Cafe but it can be changed as well :(

I am happy to publicly or privately answer most questions. I can tell you what I did for business but do not know her figures. I do not know what the asking price is or if there is financing available but you can contact the broker Christy Gibbs at Gibbs Realty 508-886-6100. Please do not contact Sarah directly, she has a business to run.
