Unbelievable opportunity for scale-great for established operators!
Rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, health department approved, commercial food production equipment package already installed in Missoula, Montana. This is a true turnkey commercial kitchen opportunity— not a startup build-out, not a distressed asset liquidation. No real estate included in asking price. Lease to be negotiated separately in conjunction with equipment sale.
Offered at $175,000 OBO, the sale includes all furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E) plus the established business name, brand assets, online presence, vendor relationships, and operational systems of Dandelion Catering (est. 2021). This equipment was purchased and assembled in 2024 and professionally designed for high-volume catering, meal prep, and packaged food production. Although the space does offer a small cafe/retail frontage or the option to host private 12-seat chefs table events, the facility is strategically built for throughput and efficiency — not sit down, full service restaurant concepts.
All major equipment is installed, operational, and integrated. Infrastructure of this scale typically requires well over asking price in equipment sourcing, contractor coordination, permitting, and downtime. Here, it is already completed and ready to produce from day one. This is a plug-and-play food production facility ready for an experienced operator to step in and scale. The buyer may continue operating under the existing catering brand or leverage the infrastructure for their own concept.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Commercial kitchens of this scope & size rarely come available as complete, integrated packages. Most operators spend months piecing together and assembling equipment, coordinating contractors, navigating permitting and health department approvals, all while absorbing non-revenue build-out time.
This facility eliminates that friction:
No build-out delays
No guessing on equipment compatibility
No waiting for installations
No permitting uncertainty
It is operational from day one.
Financial Overview:
Assumable long-term lease available separately for qualified operators. 5 years preferred, ground level 1500 sq.ft. for $3000/mo. base rent + NNN. Renter responsible for gas and electric on top of the other expenses.
If you are searching for a commercial kitchen in Missoula, a turnkey catering business, or a food production facility ready to scale, this opportunity delivers immediate infrastructure without startup risk.
Serious inquiries from well-funded, experienced operators welcomed.
