Asset Sale Description
Turnkey Frozen Yogurt & Ice Cream Shop in Portland's Prime Entertainment District

Own a beloved frozen dessert business that has been delighting Portlanders since 2010. This established and profitable self-serve frozen yogurt and ice cream shop combines a proven concept, loyal customer base, and prime downtown location at the center of the city's entertainment and cultural hub.

Established and Trusted
Operating successfully for over 15 years, this shop is a downtown favorite known for its upbeat atmosphere, quality desserts, and outstanding variety. Longtime customers, local families, students, and event-goers have come to depend on this shop as their regular treat destination—reflected in hundreds of positive online reviews across multiple platforms.

Exceptional Location
Nestled in Portland's lively entertainment district, the store benefits from constant downtown foot traffic and strong surges tied to surrounding events, concerts, and performances. The area's walkability—combined with its proximity to restaurants, offices, hotels, and cultural landmarks—ensures steady, predictable patronage.

Distinctive Experience
Guests enjoy building their own desserts from a rotating selection of frozen yogurt and ice cream flavors topped with a remarkable variety of choices—several dozen popular and unique options ranging from fresh fruit and candy to nuts, sauces, and baked treats. This expansive toppings bar is one of the largest among local dessert shops, making it a destination for creativity, fun, and high-quality indulgence.

Fully Equipped and Turnkey
Everything needed for continued success is included: commercial yogurt machines, refrigerated toppings bar, freezers, POS system, furnishings, and smallwares. The setup is designed for smooth, efficient daily operation with minimal training required.

Consistent Performance with Minimal Oversight
The business has demonstrated steady post-pandemic growth, with sales increasing year over year for the past three years. This upward trend reflects strong customer loyalty and robust downtown demand. Under current ownership, day-to-day operations require only a few hours of weekly oversight—an excellent setup for a semi-absentee owner or investor.

Flexible Lease Terms
Currently operating under a convenient month-to-month lease, providing both stability and flexibility. The landlord has indicated willingness to maintain these terms or negotiate a new lease with future ownership.

Growth Opportunities
In addition to expanding evening activity through event partnerships, delivery services, or specialty products, the current operating hours (1:00 PM–10:30 PM) provide a clear opportunity to introduce a breakfast or lunch menu earlier in the day. The space and equipment are flexible enough to accommodate new offerings, allowing a new owner to capture additional revenue streams from downtown workers and nearby daytime visitors prior to the store's normal dessert hours.

Community Favorite with Strong Local Support
Rooted in Portland since 2010, this business has developed a strong base of loyal customers, repeat visitors, and consistent online praise. Locals appreciate its upbeat, family-friendly atmosphere, while event attendees and downtown residents often highlight it as a must-stop for dessert after shows or games.

Transition Assistance
The seller will provide full training and transitional support to ensure operational continuity and continued success after the handover.

Additional Details
Sale includes all equipment, fixtures, and inventory. Financial summaries and reports are available upon request to qualified buyers under confidentiality agreement.

This is a rare chance to acquire a strong, long-standing frozen dessert business in one of Portland's most energetic and high-traffic areas. With sustained post-COVID growth, community support, and multiple expansion paths, it's an ideal opportunity for a motivated buyer.
