🍂 The fair has wrapped up, the crowds have headed home, and life in Marcus settles back into that small-town rhythm.
And maybe that makes right now the perfect time to start thinking about your next chapter.
📍 404 N Main St. | Marcus, IA — The Hawkeye Lounge
Maybe you’ve been thinking about leaving the daily grind and owning your own business. Maybe your current business has outgrown its space. Or maybe you’re an investor looking for a commercial property where you can bring a new idea to life.
Take another look at this one.
The Hawkeye can certainly continue as the hometown bar people already know, but don’t let its current use limit your imagination.
☕ Turn it into a coffee or tea shop
🍽️ Bring a new restaurant or café to town
🛍️ Create a boutique or retail store
💼 Convert it into professional or service-based offices
🎉 Develop an event or gathering space
🏢 Move or expand an existing business
🔑 Purchase it as an investment
🍻 Or step in and continue the tradition of The Hawkeye
With approximately 1,840 sq. ft., a Main Street location, numerous updates, and additional basement gathering space with a kitchen area, there’s a lot here to work with.
And here’s an important part: If your plans don’t involve operating it as a bar, the seller is willing to negotiate the purchase price to reflect equipment and other items that would not be included. You don’t necessarily have to buy the business exactly as it sits today.
Marcus is a community of approximately 1,100 people, and communities like this continue to grow and thrive when someone is willing to look at an existing space and see what it could become.
The fair gave everyone a chance to enjoy Marcus.
Now maybe it’s time to explore becoming a bigger part of it. 🧡
Have an idea? Let’s get inside the building, walk through the space, and talk about whether it could work.
