Question
I own a resort in a beach town of west Michigan, and have a restaurant Inwould like to re-open, preferably partnering or leasing the space to a seasoned restaurant entrepreneur. I have the space, liquor license, kitchen, 85-100% of the equipment needed, and built-in clientele. Thanks in advance of your suggestions!
Answer
Here are two things I might try if I were in your position:
1) One idea might be to partner with a chef and host a "open house". Send the invitations out to owners of other restaurants that are doing well (pitch it as an expansion opportunity), and also commercial real estate agents.
2) Reach out to your local restaurant associations, offering to host an event.
Hope this helps!
