An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of Northern Michigan's most iconic destination businesses. The Bois Blanc Island Outpost is the island's only year-round convenience store and serves as the community's central gathering place for both full-time residents and seasonal visitors. This turnkey commercial offering includes a successful full-service bar and restaurant, general store, fuel service station, propane filling operation, carryout package sales, and SDM license, anchored by a coveted Class C Resort Liquor License. Situated on nearly 2.5 acres of commercially zoned property with approximately 200 feet of Lake Huron frontage, the property offers tremendous upside potential. Existing zoning provides the opportunity for future marina development, expanded retail or service offerings, RV parking, additional storage, or other commercial uses (subject to applicable approvals). The well-maintained building has received numerous recent updates and includes comfortable on-site owner/operator living quarters, making seasonal or year-round management convenient and cost-effective. This is a true turnkey operation with multiple revenue streams, strong community recognition, and significant barriers to entry. Whether you're an experienced hospitality operator, entrepreneur, investor, or looking to create a legacy family business, opportunities of this caliber seldom become available. The combination of waterfront commercial real estate, essential community services, valuable liquor licensing, fuel and propane permits, and future development potential creates an offering unlike anything else on the market. A trophy commercial asset with exceptional upside, positioned within one of Michigan's most unique resort destinations. Financial information available upon execution of a confidentiality agreement. Shown by appointment only; please do not contact employees or discuss the sale on-site.
