SMYRNA, Ga. — Old South Bar-B-Q, a longtime Smyrna restaurant, has been listed for sale with an asking price of $595,000.
The listing describes the property as a turnkey restaurant and real estate investment that includes the commercial building, operating business, furniture, fixtures, equipment and trained employees.
According to the advertisement, the restaurant generates about $650,000 in annual revenue and has operated continuously for 60 years. Cash flow and earnings figures were not disclosed.
The listing promotes the restaurant’s established brand, loyal customer base and location near downtown Smyrna, Interstate 285 and Interstate 75.
The sale is being marketed to owner-operators and investors seeking an operating restaurant with an established customer base. The listing does not indicate whether the restaurant will remain open during the sale process or whether a buyer would retain the Old South Bar-B-Q name and concept.
The restaurant dates to 1968 when Helen and Jim Llewallyn established it. The owners have said the years-long construction on Windy Hill Road hurt their business.
