967 Kenmore Avenue

Buffalo, NY 14217

An exceptional opportunity to own one of the most recognizable restaurant locations in the area. Welcome to the legendary former home of Vizzi’s, a place deeply rooted in the community where generations of patrons already know the location. With a history of generating over $100,000 in monthly revenue, this property offers a rare chance to revive a proven destination or bring your own concept to a location with a loyal following. Positioned along highly visible Kenmore Avenue, this two story commercial building sits in the heart of a busy corridor surrounded by residential neighborhoods and thriving local businesses. The address alone carries recognition among locals, giving the next owner a head start. The front of the restaurant is designed for both energy and atmosphere. One side features a spacious dining area ideal for seating and service, while the other side offers a long classic bar that naturally becomes the social hub of the space. Toward the back you will find a commercial kitchen spanning two large rooms, providing the space and infrastructure needed to handle high volume service. The kitchen comes fully equipped with professional grade restaurant equipment including an 8 foot commercial exhaust hood, six burner commercial range, flat top griddle, deep fryers, commercial ovens, double door reach in refrigerators, refrigerated prep table, walk in cooler, beverage dispensing systems, and additional refrigeration. Dining tables, chairs, and other restaurant fixtures are also included, making this a true turnkey opportunity for an operator ready to open the doors. Above the restaurant sits a fully renovated two bedroom apartment, perfect for an owner operator who wants to live on site or generate additional rental income. This added residential component provides additional value rarely found with restaurant properties. To make the transition even smoother, select liquor inventory will also be included in the sale. This is more than just a building. It is a location with history, recognition, and built in demand. For the right restaurateur or investor, this is an opportunity to step into a space where the community already knows where to go.
