Steak out: Franchise restaurant on the market for $785,000
By Peter Holmes
Towards the end of 2021 small signs were stuck to the windows of a restaurant in Orange advising customers that the establishment - best-known for its steaks, curly chips and mega sundaes - was closed for "equipment maintenance and repairs".
However it never reopened, and now it's on the market.
The Hog's Breath Café on Lords Place is for sale with an asking price for the business of $785,000 plus training costs ($6,600) and stock.
On August 26 last year the café was still advertising home delivery on social media.
"Tired of cooking and cleaning up dishes! Well, we've got the solution....Hog's home delivery! Enjoy a great, restaurant cooked, home meal at your place from Hog's!"
However its only post since that date was in October, advising the restaurant had shut.
There are three Hog's Breath Cafés for sale in NSW via the Hog's Breath Café franchise page: Forster ($250,000), Port Macquarie (price not listed) and Orange ($785,000).
Hog's Breath franchisees pay a monthly royalty of five percent, calculated on gross food and beverage sales less promotions, merchandise and discounts.
They also pay a monthly co-operative advertising royalty of two percent, calculated on gross food and beverage sales less promotions, merchandise and discounts.
The monthly rental on the sizeable CBD building is unknown.
The restaurant faced multiple competitors in the CBD including the Lonestar Rib House and a number of pubs serving burgers and steaks.
The Orange News Examiner has sought comment from Hog's Breath Café head office.
