Businesses in Toronto come and go, rise up and hit the market for reasons that run the spectrum. Here's a roundup of notable shops, cafes and restaurants for sale in the east end of the city right now.

TASTY CHICKEN HOUSE

It ain’t tasty and there’s no chicken, but Leslieville’s infamous dive bar is up for grabs for 88 grand for anyone who wants to keep the dream alive. The listing for the corner spot says monthly sales average $15,000 and that the sale price includes all equipment… but we’re not sure the kitchen has ever been open.

LA CUBANA

With its trademark seafoam green walls, mosaic floors and old-school vibe, the stylish retro diner serves up plates of casual Cuban food. Licensed for 48, the bright, cheery space can be yours to convert into your dream business for $138,000 — not including the name and branding.

THE PEASANT TABLE

The Peasant Table has been dishing out Italian fare for four years in the space previously occupied by Table 17. The funky restaurant, which features a license for 81, a patio for 32 and an upstairs private dining space, is now for sale for $275,000, including its wood-burning oven.

THE TULIP

The Tulip is a Toronto institution if there ever was one. Along the stretch between Leslieville and The Beaches, The Tulip's big yellow sign is as iconic as the old school steakhouse. And now you can own your own greasy spoon for $179,900, including all equipment and chattels.
