General Description

Thriving Turn-Key Bar & Restaurant Opportunity – Lindy’s of Dickens Now available for purchase, Lindy’s of Dickens presents a rare opportunity to own a well-established bar and restaurant with a strong local following and over three decades of successful operation. Proudly owned and operated by the same family for 33 years—20 of those by the current owner—this turn-key business is a cornerstone of the Dickens community and draws loyal customers from surrounding areas including Spencer, nearby Farming families, a long-standing steel manufacturing plant, and area construction businesses. The property includes two adjoining lots and two distinct yet connected spaces: a spacious seating restaurant and bar, each with their own dedicated entrances and restrooms. The restaurant features a spacious, well-maintained dining area, its own restrooms, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen with a walk-in cooler. Double doors separate the restaurant from the bar, allowing flexibility for a private dining experience or open access between spaces. Housed in a building with unique character—the bar once served as a bank—it offers a welcoming atmosphere complete with a pool table (owned), leased games, jukebox, and ample seating. The bar is popular for casual gatherings and local events, with consistent foot traffic and repeat clientele. Included in the sale are all buildings, business assets, current inventory, and equipment—making this a truly turn-key opportunity. Property upgrades include connection to city sewer, a new main waterline, and pitched metal roofing, adding value and reducing long-term maintenance concerns. Lindy’s has experienced consistent growth in gross sales year-over-year since the COVID reset in 2020, a testament to its strong business model and community roots. The current owner maintains positive relationships with all suppliers and is open to negotiating a transition period to ensure a smooth handover and continuity for regular patrons. Whether you choose to continue with the proven business model or bring fresh ideas and marketing strategies, Lindy’s of Dickens is ready for its next chapter. Don’t miss this chance to own a thriving small-town establishment with endless potential. Contact us today to schedule a private tour.
