Positioned in the heart of Entwistle, this well-established hospitality property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving restaurant, pub, liquor store outlet, and accommodation business all under one roof. With multiple revenue streams, strong highway exposure, and significant recent upgrades, this turnkey operation is ideal for an owner-operator, hospitality group, or investor seeking expansion potential in a growing tourism and service market.
Business Highlights
Established Restaurant & Food Service Opportunity
The property features a fully equipped commercial kitchen and spacious dining room with tremendous potential to expand food operations. Currently operating with strong local and traveler traffic, the setup is perfectly suited for:
Full-service restaurant operations
Breakfast and brunch service
Family dining
Catering and events
Takeout and delivery services
Seasonal tourism traffic
With limited competition in the immediate area and increasing visitor activity, there is substantial opportunity to expand hours and introduce breakfast service to capture morning highway traffic, oilfield crews, tourists, and local residents.
Popular Pub with VLT Revenue
The welcoming pub offers a relaxed atmosphere for locals, workers, and travelers while generating additional income through 3 VLTs. The pub creates strong repeat business and complements the restaurant and liquor store operations.
Liquor Store Outlet
The on-site liquor store provides another stable and profitable revenue stream, serving both the local community and the growing number of tourists visiting the area year-round.

Over $600,000 invested in renovations and modernization
Walk-in cooler
New furnaces and HVAC systems

Additional Revenue Opportunities
The property also includes hotel accommodations catering to travelers, contractors, and tourists, along with a beautifully finished 1,500 sq. ft. owner’s apartment featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Prime Location with Growing Tourism
Entwistle is strategically located at the intersection of the Yellowhead Highway and Highway 22, providing excellent visibility and consistent traffic exposure. The nearby Pembina River Provincial Park has become one of Alberta’s most popular summer recreation destinations, attracting thousands of visitors annually for tubing, camping, and outdoor activities.
The area also benefits from steady economic activity driven by the oil and gas sector, creating year-round demand for food services, accommodations, and hospitality businesses.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Multiple income streams under one property
- Strong restaurant and pub growth potential
- Opportunity to expand breakfast and foodservice operations
- Established liquor store revenue
- Renovated turnkey facility
- Excellent highway exposure and accessibility
- Growing tourism and workforce market
- Ideal owneroperator or investment opportunity
- Retirement Sale
The current owners are retiring, creating an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-known and established hospitality business with strong infrastructure, diversified income, and significant upside potential for future growth.
