Public Remarks: For over 50 years, the Steele Grocery Store has been a well-known landmark and an important part of the community, serving local residents, travelers, and the surrounding agricultural area. Over the past 8 years, the business has continued to grow and evolve from a traditional grocery store into a thriving operation offering alcohol sales, locally sourced baked goods and products, fresh cut meats, and prepared take-and-cook meals. This profitable and well-established business presents an excellent opportunity for a family run business, owner-operator, or investor looking to step into a successful turnkey operation in the Kidder County seat.
Located in Steele, ND, the store includes over 6,000 square feet with approximately 4,000 square feet of retail space and has seen many recent updates and improvements throughout. Upgrades include updated freezers and coolers, new exterior stonework, updated tills, new flooring, and a newly added beer and liquor room complete with liquor license. The property also features a food-grade kitchen set up for meat cutting and meal preparation, adding additional service and income potential.
Steele is conveniently located along Interstate 94, approximately 40 miles east of Bismarck, making it an important stop for both local residents and interstate traffic. With a population of around 700 people, Steele serves the surrounding agricultural community and continues to support a strong local customer base. As the Kidder County seat, the community benefits from steady traffic tied to county offices, local businesses, schools, and area farming operations.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a long-standing business with a strong reputation, updated facilities, and room for continued growth in a strong small-town market.
