Marc & Audrey Lory

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank Richard Santore and his firm, Bielat Santore & Company for the exceptional job he did in selling my late brother’s restaurant, Lory’s Lakeside, a mainstay in North Brunswick for almost 30 years. With my brother’s untimely passing in 2019, right before the COVID pandemic began, we knew that we were going to hit very difficult times in the restaurant industry, but we were determined to keep Lory’s Lakeside operating until Richard could find a buyer. Richard’s expertise in the sale of restaurants and real estate in general afforded us the opportunity to find a qualified buyer during the most difficult of all years for restaurants. We were already acquainted with Richard’s professionalism, trustworthiness and strong work ethic as he had sold another restaurant of ours 7 years earlier. Critical to the success of this sale was that he also developed a level of trust with the buyers and was able to manage them through this difficult transaction which was compounded by the COVID epidemic. We are grateful to Richard for his guidance and service during this trying period and would highly recommend him and Bielat Santore & Company to anyone looking to buy/sell a restaurant.”
