224 W Main Street

Description

A fantastic opportunity to own an historic building and a business right in the heart of Branson. This nearly 100 year old house was once home to Ruby Lena's Tea Room which had many loyal and happy patrons for several years. Since then, it has continued to operate as a cafe and attract a loyal fan base of customers including the most recent business, My Cooking Nook (check out their numerous 5 star reviews!) And now, this well-known landmark in downtown Branson with endless possibilities could be yours. Situated on the highly visible corner of West Main Street and 3rd Street in downtown Branson, there is near constant drive-by and pedestrian traffic. The building is zoned ''Downtown'', which means it can be used for a number of things, including a restaurant, vacation rental, or retail store. The property is not currently approved as a vacation rental but is in a zoning district that allows for it as long as city regulations are met. An interested buyer should verify with the City of Branson if an additional process is required for a change of use. This property is just one block from the free downtown Trolley, it's right next door to The Branson Hotel, and across the street from a Best Western hotel. The additional garage/building behind the house is currently being used for storage, but has the potential to be used as a pick-up location or a DoorDash hub. The garage/storage was built in approximately 2013. The upstairs of the house has additional storage in the attic as well as a small office space that looks out over the surrounding area. A new roof was put on the building in 2020. The restaurant currently seats over 60 guests inside and approx 16-20 outside. There are 13 dedicated parking spots and it also has a 1,000 gal. grease trap. There is so much charm and history in this building and endless potential for the right buyer with the vision to make it happen. Come see how vibrant downtown Branson is and imagine what you could do with a piece of its history!
