Fully Equipped Restaurant Bar, 4,000 SF, $2,500 Lease, Omaha
Located on Omaha's busy North 72nd Street corridor, this fully equipped restaurant and bar offers an outstanding opportunity for a new owner to launch or expand their business without the time and expense of a complete build-out. The approximately 4,000-square-foot space features seating for up to 90 guests, a fully equipped commercial kitchen with a 20-foot hood system, walk-in cooler and freezer, a newly built wet bar, a performance stage, a professional sound system, a POS system, a serving robot, and modern furniture and fixtures. Over $200,000 has been invested in renovations, equipment, and interior improvements, creating a clean, modern space ready for a wide range of concepts, including restaurants, bars, cafés, buffets, catering operations, private events, and live entertainment. The lease is only $2,500 per month (including trash service), with approximately four years remaining and renewal options available, subject to landlord approval. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, providing a rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out restaurant at a fraction of its replacement cost. The current concept is operating, but the space is being marketed for its flexibility and can easily be adapted to fit a new owner's vision.

Support & Training
I am happy to provide a smooth transition for the new owner. Training can be provided on the restaurant's equipment, kitchen layout, POS system, day-to-day operations, and general setup to help ensure a successful handoff. If the buyer wishes to continue operating as House of Lee, I am also open to discussing the transfer of the name, recipes, and operational procedures. My goal is to make the transition as seamless as possible for the right buyer.
