Property Description
If your dream includes running a business or restaurant in a supportive community and contributing to growing the vibrancy of a historic Vermont village, you'll want to know that the former Brown's Market Bistro building in Groton, Vermont is available for sale. Built in the 1920's, this beloved building has served Groton Village and the region as a grocery store, bakery, cafe, farmer's market and restaurant. The Bistro sits on a well traveled, East-West corridor (William Scott Hwy, Rt. 302), and overlooks a gorgeous stretch of the Wells River. The building was renovated in 2004 as Brown's Market Bistro. It was operated until 2015 as a popular neighborhood bistro and local music venue. Since then, the building has been leased for other uses, and the owners have continued to make improvements. There is a large commercial kitchen space that previously included a small bar, display cases and seating area. There is a restaurant hood, fire suppression system and older, Blodgett pizza oven. The east side of the first floor (the old market) has served as a dining room, with classic storefront, floor to ceiling windows, hardwood floors and a handicap access bathroom. From the dining room, there is access to a deck for additional outdoor seating. The upstairs studio has 700 sq. feet of space that has been used for an art gallery & massage studio. The building has a large, open, high and dry basement, a walk-in cooler and significant storage space. The basement exits at ground level onto a covered patio overlooking the Wells River and 250 feet of gorgeous river frontage suitable for picnic tables, lawn chairs and outdoor events. The property also includes an adjacent building known as "the Old Morrison House", no longer in service except for storage. If you are looking to find a home for your business this is a unique opportunity in a beautiful corner of Vermont.
