About The Listing

Great Food Service establishment business for sale in Downtown Bemidji, high traffic location and all the equipment you need to excel.

A rare opportunity to own a beloved local gem in the heart of downtown Bemidji! The Paul Bunyan Sub Shop has been a staple in the community for years, drawing in both devoted locals and eager visitors who make it a must-stop destination. Nestled in a high-traffic location, this well-established eatery is known for its exceptional subs, loyal clientele, and cherished history in Bemidji’s culinary scene.

Now for sale: This turn-key business opportunity includes all proprietary recipes, ensuring that the signature flavors customers love will continue. The shop is fully equipped with a well-maintained griddle, oven, slicer, hood vent, sandwich prep case, and many additional necessary equipment and appliances, allowing for seamless daily operations. A walk-in cooler ensures fresh ingredients are always on hand, as well as a double door commercial freezer- reinforcing the sub shop’s reputation for quality and consistency.

The prime leased location is a major selling point! Situated directly across from the local farmers market, this shop enjoys excellent foot traffic, particularly on Saturdays during the warmer months. Just a block away from the famous Paul and Babe statues and Paul Bunyan Park, and within walking distance of Wednesday Music in the Park at the Lake Bemidji waterfront, this location thrives in a lively downtown atmosphere filled with potential customers.

While the shop is currently focused on subs, the existing flat-top grill, oven, hood vent, and sprinkler system provide an opportunity to expand the menu and increase revenue streams. The opportunity to expand the current food options is all set up for you. Perhaps you add burgers to the menu? The Grill and Hood Vent in the kitchen will serve you well!

The current location is leased, and no real estate is included in the sale, making this a perfect business for an aspiring entrepreneur looking to step into a successful operation without the financial investment or expenses of property ownership.

The recent addition of a ice cream machine with many flavor options, is a great addition for the heavy traffic this area receives in the warmer months.

Don’t miss your chance to acquire not just a business, but a culinary legacy in one of Bemidji’s most sought-after locations. This is your opportunity to own and operate a thriving food establishment in a bustling downtown district!
