2 Tropical Smoothie Cafés | $1.65M Revenue | $580K–$600K SDE. Maryland
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a two-unit Tropical Smoothie Café franchise platform in strong Maryland submarkets, generating approximately $1.65M in 2025 revenue and $580K–$600K in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). The portfolio features a high-volume flagship location (~$1.2M revenue) in a university-driven market paired with a growing secondary unit (~$460K revenue), creating a balanced profile of immediate cash flow and operational upside. The second location continues to trend upward and is positioned to stabilize above $500K with operational optimization. Both locations are turnkey and fully equipped (3–4 years old), featuring no hooded cooking, walk-in cooler/freezer, and Brink POS systems, allowing for streamlined operations and efficient staffing. The business benefits from an established mix of dine-in, carry-out, delivery, and catering, operating within a proven national franchise system with strong brand recognition.
This is an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator, multi-unit franchise buyer, or investor seeking a scalable, system-driven concept with strong cash flow and expansion potential. New Tropical Smoothie Café territories in Maryland are highly restricted, making existing operating units increasingly valuable and difficult to replicate. The business is semi-absentee capable, with established infrastructure and management in place. The seller currently pays themselves approximately $90K annually, and will provide training and transition support post-closing. SBA financing may be available for qualified buyers. Seller is open to structured offers.Confidential information will be provided upon execution of an NDA and proof of funds.
