Looking to get into the food industry?
There may never be a better time in Steuben and Allegany counties.
About a dozen eateries are currently up for sale across both counties. Some are iconic local establishments that have built up a loyal customer base and remain in operation today, while others have been shut down for some time and need fresh leadership to breathe new life into the business.
A changing of the guard may be underway on the local food scene, as many of the listings note that the longtime owners are looking to retire and pass the reins to a new generation.
