Doug comes from
a family, two generations back,
involved in the food service industry. His experience
has included everything from working with his parents
in family owned operations to working with renowned chefs
in country club and upscale settings including California / American
to the Haute Cuisine indicative of the best contenental restaurants.
His Restaurant experience spans more than 35 years.
As owner of seven restaurants in the Carolinas,
Doug created the concepts and saw them through, from the initial
idea,
to building out the locations, developing menus / procedures
and making them a reality. These operations ran a gamut
from Coffee Houses to upscale white tablecloth Mediterranean dining
After successfully
operating and selling his last two restaurants,
using his vast experience in the industry, Doug has pursued a career
acting as a broker specializing in the sale, location and leasing
of Restaurants, Bars and Nightclubs.
He chose to locate his business in the Greater Atlanta area
because of its reputation as a Mecca for a population
devoted to dinning out, evidenced by the incredible number
of restaurants in close proximity of the city.
Atlantans love and support independent restaurants.
The dining experiences offered by the thriving and creative restaurants
that line Atlanta's thoroughfares and byways offer dining experiences
that rival any other dinning capital and parallel the dining experiences
offered by other major cities including:
New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Doug has spent
his entire career in the restaurant industry
and is devoted to promoting its success by sharing
his vast store of operational and promotional experience.

I
personally Love this process,

I highly Recommend finding an existing location
which you can make minor changes
to make your concept work.
This will save you lots of TIME, MONEY and HEADACHES!
Many people such as myself and the owner of this
Pizza Restaurant for Sale thrive on the Challenge,
Difficulty, Organization of the Work,
Designing the Concept and Menu, and then Making it all
work
and thenpresenting it all to the public
on your Grand Opening Day!
This takes years of experience to pull it off.
This Italian Pizza restaurant was a Success from Day
