GUELPH— If everything goes according to plan, Sun Sun Restaurant will be sold on Friday to be transformed into a family-run diner, offering all day breakfast.

The iconic downtown Chinese food buffet restaurant was listed for sale a little more than one month ago and a bid has been made for its purchase.

Henry Wu, a Toronto-based real estate representative, said a firm offer has been made and the business is set to change hands on Friday.

The ones who made the bid are a couple from Guelph who recently moved to Freelton to be closer to the restaurant they own near the community of Carlisle.

Just over a month ago Claudia Draper and Luke Mantin saw an article in the Guelph Mercury about Sun Sun Restaurant going up for sale. The two own the Breezy Corners family restaurant on Highway 6 and Carlisle Road and weren't looking to expand. But after they read the article, they started to dream about what it would be like to have their business located downtown.

Draper said she was born and raised in Guelph, and all four of her children were raised here. She said she used to work at The Co-operators on Macdonell Street and was familiar with the restaurant options downtown.

"I knew that we went out for lunch all the time and I also knew that we didn't always want to go have wings or deep-fried cheese strings," the 56-year-old said. "We wanted real food and it was very difficult to find in downtown Guelph."

Sun Sun Restaurant, at 44 Macdonell St., seats 130 people. The price of the business is listed online at $89,000. The monthly rent of the space is set at $3,600, plus $1,136.36 of extra expenses to be paid each month.

Draper said the original Breezy Corners Restaurant is operated by the family: Mantin acts as the face of the company, Draper's daughter is manager, her son and son-in-law cook on the line and she stays in the background, preparing items like soups and sauces.
