Expansion Potential: 7+ acres offer space for new cabins, RV sites, food truck pods, event hosting, or repositioning into a destination-style outdoor venue or wedding location.
Underserved Market: Pickens County lacks modern mixed-use food and entertainment venues, giving Aunt Sue’s a first-mover advantage with branding already in place.
Strategic Location: Positioned between Greenville, Table Rock, Lake Keowee, and the Blue Ridge Mountains—capturing both local and tourist traffic.
Resilience Story That Sets It Apart:
While over 23,000 small businesses in South Carolina closed from 2020–2022—including many rural restaurants and roadside stops—Aunt Sue’s never shut its doors.
The business endured:
COVID-19 economic impact
A major hurricane
An EF-5 tornado
Local fires and forced closures
Yet through it all, the owners stayed invested—retaining staff, improving the property, and building back stronger each year. Their commitment preserved not just a business, but a cherished community landmark.
Repositioning or Growth Opportunities:
For buyers with vision, this property can be transformed into a true mountain-side retreat. Concepts such as:
Destination-style outdoor food and music venue
Expanded retail village
Cabins or Airbnb-style stays
Event/wedding venue with restaurant catering
Brewery or distillery with mountain views
are all viable given the land size, visibility, and traffic on Hwy 11.
Summary:
This is more than a restaurant—it’s a landmark with operational upside, physical expansion space, and an unmatched story of resilience. Whether you're an investor, operator, or dreamer, Aunt Sue’s is ready for its next chapter.
