Property Description

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF DUBOIS COUNTY HISTORY! Here is your opportunity to invest in a turnkey, established business located on Main Street in the heart of the community, sitting on over a third of an acre with more than 3,200 square feet of historic charm and endless potential. Established as a restaurant and bar in 1966, Butchie’s Western Saloon & Family Restaurant has become a true local landmark and a destination known throughout the surrounding counties for its down-home cooking, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional customer service. Ask anyone in the area where to find a great home-cooked meal, and chances are they’ll tell you Butchie’s! From the appetizers and famous salads to the well-known salmon and Butchie’s ribeye, this restaurant has built a loyal customer base and a reputation that speaks for itself. The newer 1989 building features seating for approximately 100 guests, soaring 22-foot ceilings, beautiful poplar beams native to Dubois County, and an impressive 180-year-old bar accented by an oversized mirror, adding character and history that simply cannot be duplicated. The property is located conveniently on Main Street, surrounded by established businesses and in close proximity to local schools, making this an ideal location for continued restaurant operations or a new business concept. The sale includes the three-way liquor license, established recipes, equipment, furnishings, and the experienced help needed to continue operations, offering a true turnkey opportunity. Nearly everything inside the building is included—the whole Kit N Caboodle! For an owner who wants to continue the Butchie’s tradition, the opportunity is here to carry on a name and atmosphere that generations have grown to love. However, the possibilities extend far beyond the current concept. With its Main Street location, ample square footage, established customer base, and commercial kitchen, this property could also lend itself to a variety of exciting concepts, including a bakery and coffee shop, breakfast and brunch café, upscale café, sandwich and deli shop, dessert bar, catering operation, specialty food market, or a combination restaurant and coffeehouse. Imagine morning coffee and fresh pastries for the nearby schools and businesses, lunch service throughout the week, weekend brunch, specialty desserts, private events, catering, or an outdoor dining and entertainment area. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Dubois County history!
