A well-known name in Gulf Shores dining is up for sale. Bleus Burger, the gourmet burger restaurant that has anchored the city’s food scene for roughly a decade, has officially been listed for new ownership. The restaurant will continue operating as usual while the sale process moves forward.
Owners Scott Keel and Susan Ellis are marketing the business as a turnkey opportunity, complete with documented recipes, established inventory systems and an existing staff structure already in place. The sale includes more than the restaurant’s physical storefront; the operation also functions as a commissary capable of supporting up to three mobile food units, along with a brand built over years of appearances at local festivals and events.
Keel and Ellis say the decision to sell is not driven by burnout but by a desire to pursue new opportunities after a decade of running the business themselves. Ellis said designing a revolving menu twice a year kept the job interesting throughout, while Keel described the move as a chance to take on new challenges, travel and spend more time with family.
The owners have prepared a detailed prospectus for serious buyers and said landlords are willing to negotiate a lease transfer for the right candidate. They are hoping to find an operator, whether an established restaurateur or a first-time owner, who will carry the Bleus Burger brand forward. Interested buyers are encouraged to reach out directly to Keel and Ellis to review details of the sale.
