Don't miss this opportunity to aquire Screamers, the long established food and ice cream business in the quaint Village of Shabbona. This unbeatable high visibility location on Highway 30 is the first thing you notice when you enter Shabbona from the east. There have been two long term owners here. After 20 years it is time to pass the torch again. Years of great food, delicious ice cream and a commitment to service has earned the love and support of the local community. The business also gets a significant increase in summertime sales from activity at Shabbona Lake State Park and other nearby campgrounds. There is indoor and outdoor dining with picnic tables. The current owner added a drive through window making it the only establishment with a drive through on Highway 30 for miles! The list price includes the business, real estate and all of the FF&E. Building improvements include a newer roof and a newer 6 ton rooftop HVAC unit. There is also a 4 ton a/c unit on the ground. Inside the tile in the dining room, hall and bathroom have been updated. A new storage shed houses two freezers and one refrigerator unit with plenty of room left over for dry storage. Outside there are two refrigerator units and one dry storage unit for convenient off hour vendor deliveries. FF&E includes tables and chairs, a Stoelting ice cream machine (customers love the proprietary ice cream recipe!), sandwich bay, slushie machine and a bread oven that is used to make the tradmark fresh bread. The parking lot has been resurfaced and features 23 parking spaces with 6 for drive thru waiting. The current owner has elected to operate seasonally mid March though mid November which provides an opportunity to increase sales by being open year round.
