Own a unique, historically profitable family entertainment destination...Cottage Inn Pizza in Hillsdale MI. The current owners acquired the Cottage Inn franchise in 2014 and quickly outgrew their original in-town location as birthday parties and family gatherings took off. In 2018 they purchased the former Silo's Fun Park, recognizing the opportunity to create a true regional draw for families and groups. The reimagined operation blends a strong food business with multiple entertainment revenue streams and has become a well-known local destination. The Cottage Inn restaurant offers dine-in, carryout, and delivery, and is one of only two locations in the area with a full dine-in experience. Guest capacity is rated at 99, with seating for over 110 utilizing additional approved space. The expanded dining room is thoughtfully designed with two distinct experiences: a "quiet side" with booths, tables, hot/cold lunch buffet and jukebox for guests seeking a calmer atmosphere, and an open family dining area with an indoor play place for children under 11. The open side is also set up for private party rentals, with flexible 2-hour blocks for groups of approximately 12, 16, or 24. This is a well-established, historically profitable operation with multiple complementary revenue streams and strong community loyalty, offering a solid platform for continued growth under new ownership. The owners have focused on creating a safe, fun place for all seasons, complementing other local amenities such as the movie theater and bowling alley. The restaurant is known for offering "the best pizza for the best price," and Cottage Inn regularly partners with area nonprofits--including 4-H groups, schools, and churches--to host Sunday fundraisers, donating 15% of net sales back to the organization. This offering includes the operating Cottage Inn Pizza franchise. The fun park operation together with the real estate (details per listing), are available on a separate listing.
