The Slogar Restaurant | 517 Second Street

The Slogar Restaurant (business only) has been part of the fabric of Crested Butte since 1983. This iconic restaurant business is being offered for sale, presenting an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a turnkey, operational, profitable business with deep community roots and enduring appeal. Plenty of on-site parking and a living quarters above the restaurant, that can be used for employee housing, are also included in the lease. Operating from an 1882 building just off Elk Avenue, Slogar offers an experience steeped in authenticity. Since its founding in 1983, the restaurant has perfected a simple concept: family-style dinners, the most famous being hand-fried chicken, together with classic sides. Generations of visitors return year after year for home-cooked comfort. The sale of the business includes the established brand, all recipes, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, point-of-sale systems, inventory, and a strong, well-trained staff capable of seamless continuity under new ownership. The restaurant’s reputation, location, and loyal clientele add significant intangible value. Slogar also enjoys top ratings across major review platforms. The operation is currently open for dinner service four nights per week, leaving immediate room for expansion into lunch, brunch, or event catering. With seating for 325 people, a full bar license, generous kitchen layout and proven margins, Slogar offers both dependable cash flow and future growth potential for an owner-operator or investor seeking a business in a thriving resort town. This is not just a restaurant purchase; it’s the continuation of a Crested Butte tradition.
