Randy Sokol - Restaurant Industry Advocate.
Randy Sokol owns Sokol Realty and Sokol & Associates specializing in selling restaurants, bars, pizza shops, and all hospitality related businesses.

Randy grew up working in his family’s chain restaurants, for over 40 years, eventually becoming the Owner and President. He has been buying and selling restaurants for over 15 years and during that time he has brokered over 150 hospitality business deals and over 50 liquor permit deals. In that time, he has been able to build up a wealth of knowledge and experience in what makes a good location and how to negotiate the best possible lease on behalf of his clients. He knows what is important on a lease to protect your business, because he’s been there. His goal is always to make sure that his clients are getting exactly what they need, whether buying or selling, from their space so they can focus on running their business.

Randy is also a member of several civic organizations, and has served on numerous boards and committees in the Columbus area, including the Ohio Restaurant Association, Children's Hospital Development Board, National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), and Food Truck Advisory Board for the city of Columbus. He has worked with City Council members to create laws that support businesses like yours.
Being involved with these organizations, and city politics allow him to keep abreast of current trends in real estate, which helps him stay informed about changing needs for new businesses looking for locations in Columbus and beyond, as well as use his resources on his client’s behalf.

If you're looking for someone who will be straight forward in their dealings with you, be responsive in a timely manner, and always have your best interests at heart, then call Randy Sokol today.

About

.
With more than 35 years in the restaurant and hospitality industry, there isn’t much I haven’t seen, heard, bought, sold or negotiated as an owner and realtor specializing in restaurants, bars, pizza shops and other related businesses. And because I am an owner of a chain of Central Ohio restaurants, I have vast experience in restaurant sites, negotiating leases, building and/or expanding restaurants and building, expanding, owning, operating and closing and selling these multi-faceted businesses.

Throughout my career, I have filled a number of professional roles in the industry. For over 20 years I have been involved with the Ohio Restaurant Association (ORA) and Central Ohio Restaurant Association (CORA) where I served a term as president for both organizations. CORA is an organization that has earned a reputation of integrity and leadership and is recognized as a leading contributor to the economic growth and development of our region.

Currently, I sit on CORA’s Executive Board and am also Chairman of its Political Action Committee. In this role, I work alongside local government officials and departments to ensure those in the restaurant industry have a voice in their community and also have access to information they need to open and maintain a successful establishment.

I have been awarded the National Restaurant Association’s Grassroots Award for assisting others in the industry in developing effective grassroots enterprises and providing access to resources that aided them in meeting professional goals while remaining viable and relevant in an ever-changing economy.

My education, experience and life’s work are in this industry alone; and my brokerage business has been successful for more than six years in the selling of multiple bars, restaurants, buildings and other related sales.

Being well connected in both the local restaurant and bar industry means Sokol & Associates has what you need to sell your business—and our experience and knowledge are just a phone call away.

Nobody will out work my group to List & Sell your business!
