| Overview: |
Strategically on the border of the Highlands National Park, with nearby golf, beaches, skiing, and snow-mobiling, this profitable business and adjacent comfortable home presents a remarkable opportunity for an ambitious and capable new owner. Open year round, Dino's is a local and tourist social center, with a complete kitchen, (incl. bakery), convenience store, counter and booths, and RV sites. Though the present return is excellent, expansion of the food business and convenience store, as well as additional triple RV connections should produce a very significant return. The home is lovely.

| Comment: |
This is one of the very few businesses in Ingonish that is open year-round. In that context, there is room for revenue expansion by tapping into both the local and the tourism trade. With Ingonish heading toward a full year season by virtue of the growing ski and skidoo visitors, the restaurant and bakery contribution to revenues could be increased. Currently, the owners are not operating the bakery at all due to a medical issue that impacts their physical ability to do so. The restaurant is also vastly under-utilitized during both the high season and off-season months. While the present revenue stream is very good and supportive of the pricing of this operation, there is significant upside potential for new owner(s) to improve it.
NOTE: There is an area of the property (designated on the Ground Plan) that is used for RV and trailer storage. For various reasons, there is a healthy need for both tourists and local residents for this service. The per night rates compare favorably to those in the park itself.
