The Log Cabin Pub is for sale:

This thriving business is a fabulous opportunity to realize a lifestyle change. The pure air, small-town atmosphere and proximity to larger centers make this a great place to get away without getting remote.  The impression of wilderness is one of  Spences Bridge's biggest attractions.

As can be seen on the website, the pub is located in a beautiful area with a great climate and virtually no pollution. It is a respected local business with lots of room for growth.

Potential Growth:

The Log Cabin Pub provides the community and passers-by with a friendly, quick stop off sale service or a place to slow down and let the world go by for a while. It is a great "lets go for a drive" destination either just for the afternoon, for the day, or for an evening's or weekend's entertainment and fun in the Thompson River canyon.

It is possible to apply for licensing which would enable hard liquor off-sales. There is also a potential for satisfying a huge demand for a good restaurant (see in-storage kitchen items). Snack food, fast food and retail convenience items are potential sales builders.

Vancouver is 3 hours away and Kamloops just 90 minutes! Merritt is less than an hour via Highway 8 and there is great potential to draw from the Merritt Mountain Music Festival and the proposed NASCAR track. The Nl'akapxm Eagle Motorplex is less than a half-hour away on Highway 1 and the pub advertizes in their programs and at the track.

Over ten thousand whitewater rafters and kayakers start their trips just a short distance from the pub each summer and fishermen come from all over North America each fall to take the Thompson River Steelhead challenge.

Approximately 10,000 vehicles pass Spences Bridge on Highway 1 each day. These vehicles all pass our highway signage and are within sight of the pub door when they travel through Spences Bridge in a reduced speed zone.

Owners have reduced the price considerably and are willing to carry a mortgage!
