The Opportunity: A Generational East Kootenay Landmark
Own a dominant, asset-heavy cornerstone of the British Columbia hospitality and retail market. This is a rare chance to acquire a magnificent 10,000-square-foot, custom-built timber-frame facility positioned on 1.6 acres of high-visibility highway frontage in Jaffray, BC.

For over three decades, this landmark has served as the social and commercial anchor of the community. Strategically positioned as the ultimate "gateway" to the region’s world-class recreation corridors—including the renowned Fernie and Kimberley Alpine Resorts—the property captures an insulated, lucrative mix of fiercely loyal local patronage and high-spending, year-round tourist traffic destined for elite golf courses, lakes, and ski mountains.

A Diversified, Multi-Stream Revenue Ecosystem
Unlike traditional single-stream hospitality models vulnerable to seasonal shifts, this enterprise thrives on a highly resilient, three-pronged revenue architecture:

The Dining & Social Hub (Pub & Restaurant): A beautifully crafted timber-frame destination offering an unforgettable mountain-lodge atmosphere. It acts as the premier gathering spot for golfers, lake-goers, snowmobilers, and winter sports enthusiasts.

The High-Margin Retail Engine (Cold Beer & Wine Store): A highly profitable, fully licensed retail liquor outlet. This store serves as a vital, high-demand regional resource for locals and passing travelers looking for quick, convenient premium purchases.

The Multi-Unit Residential Portfolio: Features three (3) fully furnished on-site apartments. This component provides a massive strategic advantage in the BC market, offering an immediate turnkey solution for staff housing or an alternative path to generate high-yield, short-term vacation rental income.

Premium Physical Capital & Green Infrastructure
Fee-Simple Property Portfolio: The transaction includes the freehold ownership of the 1.6-acre commercial land parcel, the signature building structure, all active operating businesses, and a comprehensive commercial equipment package (walk-in coolers, industrial freezers, high-capacity commercial kitchen, and custom lodge furnishings).

Geothermal Utility Safeguard: The facility features a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling climate control system. This advanced infrastructure drastically minimizes monthly utility overhead, driving exceptional bottom-line efficiencies for a building of this scale.

Unbeatable Visual Synergy: Situated directly across from the local golf course, creating a friction-free pipeline of lunchtime and post-round food, beverage, and retail spend.

Immediate "Blue Sky" Scaling Catalysts
While the business has delivered rock-solid profitability for 32 years under family management, a modern operator can immediately activate several underutilized growth levers:

Uncapped Daypart Capture: Introducing a dedicated morning breakfast/brunch program to capture early-morning commuters and recreationists, or extending late-night hours.

Digital & Hospitality Tech Modernization: Deploying a targeted digital marketing strategy, optimizing social media avenues, and integrating automated online booking systems for the on-site residential rental units.

Footprint Exploitation: Utilizing the expansive 1.6-acre lot to host outdoor live music entertainment, community markets, seasonal festivals, and expanded patio programming.

Elite Structured Transition & Onboarding
The founding owners are preparing for a well-deserved retirement and are deeply committed to ensuring the legacy of this landmark thrives under new stewardship. To protect daily cash flows and preserve local relationship equity, the sellers are offering a comprehensive two (2) months of hands-on, on-site training along with ongoing remote advisory support to guarantee total buyer confidence.

Bypass the immense costs of raw timber-frame construction, complex liquor licensing queues, and the years required to build a regional brand. Inherit a fully staffed, multi-stream hospitality empire backed by 32 years of market proof today.
