Description

A very active and bustling business is what I observed the day I listed RUDY's Drive-In, the only drive-in in Sparta & is well-known for their burgers, ice cream, dessert specialties & service. A perfect location right on the main thoroughfare through town. This is a well-maintained building, with a full basement for storage as well. 15 vehicle ordering menus & lots of room for outdoor seating under the spacious canopy. The sellers have been operating RUDY'S for 6 years and are ready to move on to new adventures out of state. RUDY'S operates from April thru August and has 35 employees. Multiple coolers & freezers, 2 restrooms, office, central air & updated equipment. Complete list of inclusions listed under Documents. Located directly across from access to THE bike trail in the State of Wisconsin, the Sparta-Elroy Trail with its 3 tunnels and passages through small little villages. An enjoyable tradition for RUDYS has been their Thursday Cruise Nights. Traffic count - over 10,000/day.
