NEIGHBORHOOD BARS - A GREAT PURCHASE

Every one is looking for some safe harbor investment; one that is recession proof and safe.  If this is you, you ought to look at buying a bar.  Not a club!  But a good old fashion neighborhood bar.

These bars have faired very well during this recession with sales slightly down.  It appears folks drink when they're depressed and they celebrate when they're happy.  So buying a bar is a reasonably safe investment. 

But with any business, if the bar is running well don't change it.  But if the bar is not run well, by all means go for it.

Just make sure you're paying a reasonable price for the bar. Unfortunately most bars don't report all their income; hence they rarely have good profit and loss statements.

These bar are relatively easy to operate because they have one product to sell and the spoilage rate is virtually zero. Don't get into the food factor on these bars.  Just throw out those peanuts with salt so the people will drink. 

But SellingRestaurants has several profitable bar for sale.  Take a look.
