About the Job

This is a very unique opportunity for an individual/team of investors (preferred) to general manage and own via purchase through a Contract for Deed (CD) an iconic restaurant/bar named Hilltop once frequented by Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson located in a rapidly growing northwestern suburb of Hanover, Hennepin County Minnesota. The beloved restaurant/bar once was in full swing for many years under various ownership, always famous for its burgers, biker, baseball and snowmobile club attendees. The Sundance Premier movie Thin Ice featured snippets onsite at the Hilltop. The bar is currently under renovation to meet current city code and will require the new owner to install equipment and upgrade the interior to meet their desired cuisine and dining atmosphere. The new general manager/owner will be responsible for taking the project under their belt to a grand opening and regular operation.
