Atlanta restaurant market improving, first time restaurant buyers needed for Food Network Atlanta restaurant reality show and more on this week's radio show...

The producers at Food Network are still looking for that Atlanta restaurant reality star.  Just a reminder of what's they are looking for.The ideal candidate is a first time restaurant owner that will be opening within one to six months. The restaurant can not be a chain or franchise.  It should also be full service and serve alcohol with at least 30 seats.  The owner must want or need the help of a restaurant consultant.  The owner should have a great personality and a good team surrounding him.  He or she must be willing to divulge the restaurant budget on camera and allow the show to shoot for approximately ten days.

Celebrity Chef David Adjey is the host for the show.  There is a You Tube Trailer featuring some scenes from last season on our blog at www.wesellrestaurants.blogspot.com Email your interest to We Sell Restaurants with the Subject Line "The Openers" to info@wesellrestaurants.com.  You can also contact We Sell Restaurants Marketing Director Robin Gagnon at 404 513 5378

Great news this week for the industry.  There is an index that measure restaurant performance on the national level that topped 100 for the First Time in More Than Two Years.  It is a measure of same-store sales and traffic levels which were positive and Operator optimism continues to gain strength

That is definitely in line with what we are seeing in the Atlanta market.  We have closed on five restaurants in the past 30 days and activity is definitely on the rise.  The optimism has returned to the Atlanta restaurant market. 

For those interested in selling, it's a great time.  For those in the market to buy, we're not sure current pricing will remain much longer.  We have more than 100 restaurants for sale online at www.wesellrestaurants.com ranging from a gourmet ice cream shop for someone who just want to get started to franchises.  We have a 10 unit Pizza Hut chain for sale.  The locations are primarily in Georgia and represent a great opportunity to have your own mini chain right off the bat.  Then of course, we have everything else in between.
