About This Home

This is a proven, income-producing Dairy Queen located just off Interstate 94 in Forsyth, Montana, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a cash-flowing commercial business in a rural Montana market. The business shows a clear upward trend in revenue with consistent performance and long-term stability. The operation benefits from a reliable mix of local customer base and interstate travel traffic, creating steady income throughout the year. As the only restaurant in town open on Sundays, it captures a unique share of the market and maintains strong community demand. From an investment standpoint, this is a turn-key operation with established systems, trained staff, and a proven model in place. The business offers solid returns with a history of dependable cash flow, making it well-suited for both owner-operators and investors seeking Montana commercial and investment property. The facility spans 1,719± sq ft on a .44± acre lot, featuring a large paved parking area designed for efficient traffic flow and accessibility. The kitchen is fully equipped with owned equipment (excluding the Pepsi-leased soda system), including a walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, and exterior storage for additional capacity. Ownership has made significant reinvestments into the property, including recent upgrades to the parking lot, lobby finishes, seating, signage, and bathrooms. These improvements position the business for continued performance while reducing near-term capital needs. Additional improvements include updated interior finishes, a modern drive-thru system, and a roof replacement. A gazebo-style outdoor seating area adds seasonal capacity and enhances the customer experience. Forsyth is a hard-working rural community rooted in ranching and agriculture, drawing from surrounding operations and small towns. Its location along I-94 supports consistent travel traffic, reinforcing the business's stability and continued growth potential. The business is currently operated with an experienced team, allowing for a smooth transition to new ownership. This is a strong opportunity to acquire a recognized national franchise with proven performance, real estate, and room to grow. Financial details available to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
