Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire two established, manager-run franchise dessert locations a few miles apart in the same metro, both fully built out, both operating inside one of the strongest quick-service dessert brands in the United States. Held under common family ownership since the first store opened, with every reported figure anchored to signed, filed federal partnership returns.

The brand is one of the most recognizable gourmet cookie concepts in the U.S., known for a frequently changing menu, premium oversized product and a very large social following. The first store opened in 2021 and the second followed in 2023. Both score at or near 100% on the franchisor's daily operating pillars for hospitality, cleanliness and product availability, and ownership reports them ranking among the top tier in the system operationally. One of the two units carries a special designation within the franchise system held by only a small number of locations nationally, disclosed to qualified buyers under NDA.

Key Financial Highlights

- Annual Revenue: $1.80M (2025 fiscal year)

- Seller's Discretionary Earnings: $295K (two-year average, 2024 to 2025)

- SDE Margin: 14.4% (two-year average)

Operational Overview

Two tenured managers run each store on hourly crew labor, so neither location depends on the owner. Sales run across walk-in, pickup, catering and third-party delivery. Both stores carry a fully built-out specialty beverage program installed ahead of the brand's national rollout, roughly $20K per store already spent, and HVAC recently replaced at both units under warranty. No financing cost in the operating history.

Reason for Sale

The founding owner relocated overseas and stepped back, and the family ownership group does not wish to run the stores without him. They entered on a three to five year hold and have reached it. No lender pressure, no deadline. Preference is a clean handover inside 2026.

Growth Opportunities

- Off-site events and festival sales, a channel the franchisor only recently began permitting and neither store has worked. A major regional event venue sits inside the local event radius and has approached ownership repeatedly

- Scale the specialty beverage program. One store runs roughly 100 beverage orders a day with no marketing behind it, and national brand marketing is launching

- Shift menu mix further toward the smaller-format product, which carries materially higher revenue per unit against the same ingredient cost and already represents roughly 30% of sales

- Around ten local high schools and a dense event calendar remain unworked for fundraising and bulk orders

Ideal Buyer Profile

An owner-operator or multi-unit franchise operator. Brand experience is not required, as the franchisor trains new owners. The transferable skill is disciplined quick-service operations, specifically inventory control against a menu that changes frequently. A buyer who works the newly permitted off-site channel and leans into the beverage program already paid for is acquiring two catchments with the capital spend behind them.

Confidentiality

This is a confidential sale. Employees, customers and vendors are not aware of ownership's intent to sell. The brand, exact locations and detailed financials will be disclosed to qualified buyers following execution of a non-disclosure agreement and verification of financial capability. Buyers are asked not to contact the businesses, their staff or their landlords directly at any point in the process.
