Back Street Bar & Family Restaurant posts for sale sign

by Patrice Johnson

Saturday, June 30, local business owner Jackie Scheller announced that she, son DJ and daughter-in-law Amanda (with baby Bennett) are retiring from the restaurant business and have listed their Back Street Bar & Family Restaurant in Stockbridge for sale.

Scheller indicated the business and real estate are available through Rock Realty, a firm with which Scheller is affiliated. “A lease may be considered,” she added.

Scheller said she originally purchased the property with the intention to lease it. When that plan did not “pan out,” she decided to operate the business and hired a full staff. In addition, she renovated the facilities and upgraded to new equipment in 2017.

“The business is thriving,” she said. “Our top sellers are the prime rib, fish fry and Grandma’s meatloaf.”

“Retirement is the goal.” Scheller pointed out that she has “retired as a teacher, a land developer and now from the restaurant business.” She hopes to travel, spend time with her grand children and continue to pursue her real estate career.

The Schellers expressed appreciation to the community for its support.

When asked what she will miss most, Jackie Scheller replied, “I love cooking for people and making sure they are well fed. I got this from my grandma Annie.” She also suggested, “anyone who considers the purchase should know how much of a needed service they will provide to the community. Our guests are the best!”
