Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The Polar Bear restaurant at 231 W Front St includes the building, signage, operating equipment, and supplies associated with its food-and-ice-cream business. The restaurant dates to 1948 and is constructed of cinder block with ductless heat and air. The sale also includes 7 security cameras and 9 employees. Equipment details are available in the property documents.

A second cinder block building across the park is included. Formerly used as a meat market, the structure has a new roof installed in 2022 and partially completed renovations, allowing the next owner to finish the interior according to its intended use. The second building and its 0.10-acre parcel are owned by the sellers. The restaurant occupies land leased from the City of Merrill, with the next owner responsible for applying for and negotiating a future lease.
