About 617 W Michigan Avenue
Exceptional opportunity to own one of Walker's most beloved and recognizable dining destinations. Green Scene is a thriving restaurant, bar, market, and community gathering space offering multiple revenue streams through food service, craft cocktails, catering, retail offerings, and its popular seasonal farmers market.
Green Scene's story is one of passion, entrepreneurship, and steady growth. What began as a small specialty food business operating from the owners' garage grew into a successful healthy deli, grocery market, and catering service focused on fresh ingredients, prepared foods, and locally sourced products. As demand continued to grow and the brand gained a loyal following, the business expanded and evolved into the vibrant restaurant, cocktail bar, market, and event destination it is today. This natural progression has created a well-established brand with deep roots in the Walker and Leech Lake communities.
Ideally located just minutes from downtown Walker, the property benefits from excellent visibility and convenient access to the area’s full suite of amenities. Situated near shopping, lodging, dining, and the shores of Leech Lake, the location draws both steady local traffic and strong seasonal tourism. Walker is a well-known destination in Minnesota’s lake country, attracting visitors year-round for boating, fishing, trail systems, events, and recreation, all of which contribute to consistent business exposure.
The offering includes both the established business and the real estate, situated on a .47-acre parcel with ample parking and green space that hosts the popular seasonal farmers market and community events. The 2,600-square-foot facility is thoughtfully designed for efficient operations and features a fully equipped commercial kitchen, prep kitchen, sandwich line, wood-fired pizza oven, abundant storage areas, and six-plus refrigerator units. Known for its wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted cocktails, fresh sandwiches, soups, and quality ingredients, Green Scene has become a destination for both locals and visitors.
Included in the sale is the real estate, business, recipes, equipment, fixtures, inventory, and the Green Scene brand, providing a truly turnkey opportunity. One of the most compelling aspects of this offering is the substantial room for growth. The business currently operates only a limited number of days each week, creating significant opportunity to expand operating hours, increase food and beverage service, grow catering operations, host additional private events, and further capitalize on the area's strong tourism market and year-round customer base.
Rarely does a business with such a proven history, loyal customer base, multiple income streams, and strong community presence come to market. Green Scene offers the unique opportunity to own a successful and continually evolving business while carrying forward one of Walker's most recognizable local success stories.
