When we stumbled across this real-estate offering, we just had to know: Just which “Modern, Urban Coffeehouse In Downtown Dallas” with a “Gorgeous Atmosphere” is for sale? And for the low, low price of $110,000 too — despite the promise of annual revenue of $215,141. (Hmmm, anyone interested in going halvsies?)
Well, we can’t really tell you which coffeehouse is brewing on the marketplace, because the Farmers Branch-based realtor handling the sale won’t tell us: “I’m not supposed to reveal that without a confidentiality agreement,” says the dude who took our call. He did tell us one thing: “It’s downtown.” No, really, officer?
But this excerpt from the ad does make us curious: “The Business Itself Has Attracted Alot Of Media Attention And Has Been Featured In Numerous Publications And Continues To Set The Standard For Coffeehouses In The Metroplex.” And tha … hey, waitaminute. That sounds like … Yup, it is. Only, owner Pascale Hall tells Unfair Park she is not looking to sell Opening Bell Coffee on South Lamar — she’s actually looking for a partner, if anyone’s interested. “A working partner, ” she stresses. “If anyone’s interested, let me know.” She’s easy to find. –Robert Wilonsky
