About this business for sale in Wellington Central

Everybody loves hanging at Sweet Mother’s Kitchen with its unique and cosy vibe.

This restaurant draws from the influences of New Orleans cuisine, serving up food that is good for the soul. Located in the heart of the Wellington entertainment scene, it’s a place people know and love for iconic favourites like snickers milkshakes, curly fries, gumbo, jambalaya, and key lime pie.

Sweet Mother’s has thrived in Wellington for 17 years as a must-visit destination with its relaxing atmosphere and delicious comfort food. It has a great amount of foot traffic and is the perfect spot to grab a drink and bite to eat before the theatre or enjoy brunch with friends on the weekend.

It’s one of the few places in the city where you can dine on the street all year round. By day you can enjoy a margarita with a po boy in the summer sun and by night you can snuggle up under the heaters with a coffee and some beignets. With a liquor licence from 8am-2am, Sweet Mothers can serve local beers and signature cocktails all day long.

The restaurant currently seats 63. A new owner can look forward to expanding the outdoor seating area in future through the Let’s Get Wellington Moving initiative to bring more street dining to Courtenay Place.

The business is well established with comprehensive systems and processes in place. A new owner can choose to be hands-on in day-to-day running of the business or remotely oversee operations using real time hospitality management software.

For the first time in its existence of 17 years, this excellent business is now up for grabs as the owner is relocating.
