Atlanta Restaurant Brokers Sell Entire Atlanta Derby Chain to Developer

Dec. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- The effort of Atlanta restaurant broker Eric Gagnon of We Sell Restaurants has culminated in new life for a well known local chain of sports bars.  All four Derby sports bar locations have been acquired by a new owner including Nesbit Ferry Road in Alpharetta, the Hammond Drive location in Sandy Springs, the Spalding Drive location in Norcross and the Sugar Hill location on Suwannee Dam Road.

The sports bars which bill themselves as "great food, great sports and great entertainment" will now be under the ownership of a new corporation with seasoned operators at the helm.

The successful acquiring company has a long history of producing strong results.  Customers can expect a "freshening" of the concept without a change of the basics like ice cold beer on tap and piping hot food from the kitchen.  The new owners would like to develop multiple additional units to add to the base that was developed under the Derby name since the acquisition includes the rights to market and expand the Derby license to additional locations now and in the future.

The sports bar features NFL Sunday Ticket and NCAA ESPN Game Plan for the sports enthusiasts.  The menu has favorites like Grouper Fingers, Shrimp and Derby Wings that are a staple to the long standing Derby Sports Bar customer.  

Eric Gagnon, President of We Sell Restaurants had this to say about the transaction, "We listed one store and began working with this buyer.  The idea of taking over the entire chain surfaced and we ended up with a match ideal for both parties.  The seller wanted the name and reputation of The Derby to continue its long standing reputation in this area. The buyer wanted a viable concept with strong sales that could be expanded upon.  We worked hard to make sure both parties reached their ultimate goals."
