Restaurant Price Ranges in Boise
Asking prices vary by market, concept, profitability, equipment condition, and whether real estate is included. Buyers often compare asset sales below $250,000, business sales from $250,000 to $1,000,000, and property sales above that range.
In Boise, review the asking price against kitchen infrastructure, seating, alcohol license status, seller financing terms, and local permit transfer requirements.
Licenses and Permits
Alcohol License Transfer and Local Permits
Before completing a restaurant acquisition in Boise, confirm ID alcohol license transfer, health permits, business licenses, signage approvals, and local operating permits with the agencies that control the address.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a restaurant for sale in Boise cost?
Boise restaurant acquisitions range from $35,000 to $170,000 for asset sales to $140,000 to $1,800,000 for established Downtown Boise, Basque Block, North End Hyde Park, or Garden City business sales. Concepts with transferable retail liquor licenses, strong farm-to-table or Basque cuisine brand equity, and established Micron-corridor catering relationships command the top of the range.
Are Basque cuisine and farm-to-table restaurants for sale in Boise?
Yes. Boise is the most active market for Basque cuisine restaurant transactions in the United States given the city's large Basque population concentrated around the Basque Block along Grove Street. Boise is also one of the most active markets for farm-to-table concept transactions in the Mountain West, supported by Idaho's substantial agricultural production of beef, lamb, potatoes, dairy, hops, and wine grapes. Pepperlot lists available concept acquisitions with full infrastructure, supplier relationship, and where applicable transferable liquor license details.
