| Overview: |
The Fortress View Restaurant and Suites has been a familiar and welcome landmark in Louisbourg for over 40 years, with caring hospitality by the owners providing a comfortable adjunct to good food, excellent baked goods and affordable tourist accommodations. The visibility for the overall facilities, has served the owners well as bus tours and groups have found the operation convenient. Off-site catering, on-site wedding receptions and off-season services are available with friendly and cooperative assistance to planning and executions. This provides Good Will on a significant level.
This business has four revenue sources: 1) the restaurant, 2) the suites, 3) the gift shop and 4) the bakery. The restaurant and bakery attract local business as well as tourist revenue.
The upper floor has 5 suites and, in addition, there is a GUEST HOUSE across the street which is a two bedroom house with two queen beds, pull out sofa in living room,
features sun deck, sun porch, and a large back yard.

| Comment: |
The announcement of a major development in the Louisbourg area should make this business more valuable in the coming years. A German developer has hired Nick Faldo to design 2 championship golf courses with an upscale housing development built around it - total announced investment is $500,000,000. The development is only 5 minutes away.
This is an exceptional building, being one of the largest in Louisbourg and well known to locals and international visitors alike. The potential for a lower level lounge and bar - with the reasonable possibility of entertainment-suggests a whole new source of cash flow and expanded business. The size of the area that could be used for a bar-lounge is 25' X 40', currently part of the cellar storage area.

 The Louisbourg Playhouse-
Based on London’s 1599 Globe Theatre, the open-air playhouse was constructed at the Fortress of Louisbourg by Walt Disney Studios for the motion picture Squanto: A Warrior's Tale. After filming wrapped up, the structure was donated to Louisbourg and relocated to our site just off the main street of the Town.
