Sobelmans Pub & Grill Provides Unique Opportunity for Milwaukee Restaurateurs with Resale of Premiere Location

For the past two decades, Sobelmans Pub & Grill has been changing the game in the burger and Bloody Mary scene. The leading brand revolutionized the increasingly popular segment of the restaurant industry in Wisconsin, and has been attracting attention on a national scale ever since its first location opened its doors for business. And now, it’s giving restaurateurs in its hometown of Milwaukee the opportunity to tap into the power behind its business model. One of Sobelmans’ premier locations is up for sale.

The iconic brand is looking for a driven and passionate entrepreneur with experience in the restaurant industry to take the reins at one its existing and thriving locations. The restaurant is already primed for success—from its strong reputation to its already established customer base, Sobelmans is confident that the owner who comes on board will experience a seamless transition and be able to hit the ground running.

“It’s not every day that a business ownership opportunity like this comes around. Sobelmans is a known name not just in Milwaukee, but across the entire country. Being able to capitalize on that notoriety—especially in a restaurant that’s already open for business and doing well—is a once in a lifetime gig,” said the founder behind the brand, Dave Sobelman. “We’re eager to welcome a new owner into our system, especially as we continue to grow through franchising. This is another step in the right direction for the Sobelmans brand as we aim to expand our reach in Wisconsin and beyond.”

The entrepreneur who purchases the existing Sobelmans location will gain access to a long list of competitive advantages. First and foremost, they have the opportunity to join a brand that’s been voted Best Burgers in Milwaukee. Sobelmans also has a positive reputation among consumers, which is validated by multiple appearances on the Food Network and the Travel Channel. The brand’s concept is also incredibly unique, and is different than other burger concepts out there in the market. Each Sobelmans restaurant is located in a beautiful, historic building, for example, that brings a rare personality to the table.

These advantages have already proven themselves to be successful. In addition to its corporate locations, owners outside of Sobelman and his wife, Melanie, are thriving by following its simple and established business model.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the way our business is going. We were extremely busy right off the bat, and we’re still making more than 200 burgers and 200 Bloody Mary’s every day. It just goes to show how loyal Sobelmans’ customers are and how much of a following the brand has created,” said franchisee Alison Dakolias. “It’s clear that people are happy Sobelmans is in their local Wisconsin communities—customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. That’s a trend we expect to continue as we establish even more of a presence in the local community.”

That established presence is something that the Sobelmans being sold already brings to the table. The owner who buys this restaurant will be able to walk right in and take over, ultimately allowing them to make the most of the brand’s huge growth potential.

“We’ve already laid the groundwork—now it’s up to you to come in and take it even further. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Sobelmans brand, and we’re excited to see what a new owner will do to move our business forward,” Sobelman said.
