Commercial property to rent 4+1 • 215 m² without real estateKöln Innenstadt Nordrhein-Westfalen 50667

Offered for takeover is an ongoing, fully established and equipped gastronomic business located in one of Cologne’s most attractive downtown areas.

The location is currently operated as a café focusing on daytime business. The existing operation has documented revenues, so interested parties can rely not solely on theoretical plans but can also refer to already available operational figures.

Particularly noteworthy is the substantial potential for development at the site.

Due to high pedestrian traffic, the existing café operation provides an attractive foundation for further expansion of daytime business.

In addition, the proximity to the Cologne Opera, Schauspielhaus, and Theater am Dom opens further opportunities for an evening gastronomic concept.

A particularly appealing option is to develop the business into a high-quality café and wine bar featuring specialty coffees, select wines, aperitifs, and small dishes. The target groups are not only daily downtown visitors but also guests arriving before and after theatre and opera performances.

An additional advantage of the location stems from the regular events hosted at the House of Manufakturen.

Regularly scheduled wine, gin, whisky, and other experiential tastings already attract additional guests to the site, creating interesting opportunities for a future gastronomy operator to generate supplementary revenue through additional gastronomic offerings.

A long-term partnership is envisioned, under which selected events can continue to take place at contractually agreed times.

The fully existing furnishings and equipment allow for a short-term continuation of operations, and the expansion into an extended evening gastronomic concept has already been pre-approved.

Thus, this offer combines an established gastronomic business with documented revenues, high-quality equipment, and interesting opportunities to tap into further sources of revenue.

The gastronomic space offered is situated in an absolutely prime downtown location at Breite Straße 28–30, immediately next to the WDR arcades in the heart of Cologne’s pedestrian zone.

Breite Straße is one of Cologne’s three most frequented shopping streets. According to surveys by the company hystreet.com, approximately 9.3 million pedestrian movements were recorded here in 2025 – an increase of about 6% compared to the previous year.

The surroundings feature renowned retail stores, office locations, dining options, and a diverse audience comprised of professionals, shoppers, loyal Cologne residents, and international tourists.

The location’s appeal is further enhanced by its immediate proximity to the Theater am Dom, the Cologne Opera—which reopened in September 2026—and the Schauspielhaus am Offenbachplatz.

The Appellhofplatz light rail stop, as well as several public parking garages, are within walking distance.

This is an exceptionally attractive downtown location with high daytime foot traffic and additional potential stemming from the surrounding cultural venues.

Approximately €185,000 has been invested in the expansion, furnishings, and gastronomic equipment for the site.

The rental is offered exclusively in connection with the purchase of the existing, fully equipped gastronomic business.

The required transfer fee is significantly below the original investment volume, offering an attractive opportunity to take over an established gastronomic location without the need for comparable new investments.

Further information regarding the equipment, operating figures, and takeover conditions will be provided upon request to qualified interested parties.
