The Sundance Saloon is for sale in Parker, Arizona
The legendary Sundance Saloon is for sale in Parker, Arizona Sundance Saloon is for sale for 4 million dollars. It is 18,000 square feet but needs a lot of remodeling & TLC. It's glory days were back in the 70's and 80's I read.
Did I mention they drank a lot??? 
There is more then just one bar in the large facility.
1. Need to add life to the menu by adding these food items: For appetizers I would add PIGSHOTS , Pok-Pok Wings , Fried Deviled Eggs , Yakomein (Great Hangover Food) and Wonton Nachos pictured below.
For dinner items I would introduce Crying Tiger Steak, Swineapple, Swineapple on the half shell and Javelina. I would get a kick out of serving a dish I learned about on THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR episode called THE JAR. It was written by science fiction writer Ray Bradbury who captured the superstitions of Hillbillies. They mentioned a dish called Chicken and Poochie Gravy.
The complaints I read about the Sundance Saloon on Yelp was the fact that since the Sundance Saloon is way out in the desert the food is always going to be bad because of the remote location and the fact the restaurant is dirtier then hell. I counter that with the wisdom of famous desert rat Chicken House Smith who said, "You can't fight the desert, you have to get along with it" So biblical.......I say use some locally sourced food like Javelina, Quail, rattlesnake, etc.
2. The Sundance Saloon needs to get rid of the foam parties and wet t-shirt contests because it is a tired old chestnut and so passe. You can replace those ancient practices and replace them with good old fashioned exercise with a twist like Water Zorbing races across the river and back or a Water obstacle course Zip Lines might be cool too. You could have a Miss Sundance Saloon Beauty Contest as well as costume parties during the various holidays.
and concerts and dances.
3. The place needs to be deep cleaned and remodeled or repaired on the inside. I was thinking along the lines of the Wes Anderson themed restaurant in India called THE PINK ZEBRA but I would go with White Tiger Stripes instead and all employees would have to wear t-shirt and shorts with that same pattern but in yellow for them, here's an example 
4. Festivals, yes the Sundance Saloon should have festivals held at the location, maybe in partnership with the City of Parker like a Crawfish Festival like the City of Tualatin did before covid for 50 years or better. Tualatin Crawfish Festival or Bull Frog festival or Invasive species cook off like in Oregon Invasive species cook-off because both of those species are delicious and edible and they are invasive species which need to be consumed. You could have crawfish eating contests or frog leg eating contests or even a Bug festival eating opportunity because Scorpions can be eaten Cooking Scorpion in Phoenix. In Canada they have a Woofstock Festival which is the largest dog festival in the world but Parker could start a festival called THE PARKER BARKER FESTIVAL with the same concept as WOOFSTOCK or watch this cool short video of the proceedings: Woofstock 2017 video
The Sundance Saloon should become employee owned. ESOP Restaurant Examples People who work at this remote location would gain a share of ownership plus housing while they work there to make the commute cost a total zero. People who have a stake in a company or business have a tendency to try harder to make it successful and prevent rampant turnover.
Just my two cents worth, now I need another diet coke........
