4.9★ Creamery & Café — #1 Unit of a National Franchise, Semi-Absentee
Business Description
Buyers Asked Before It Was Listed, 4.9★ Turnkey Creamery & Café
Some businesses have to go looking for buyers. This location was asked for first. Multiple operators from nearby cities approached the owners to purchase it before it was formally listed. This posting ensures a fair and open process so every serious buyer gets the same opportunity.
This is the highest rated and most reviewed location of a rapidly expanding national creamery and café franchise. Achieving all of this in just one year of operation highlights the incredible potential of the business. It boasts 4.9 stars across approximately 1,000+ Google reviews, a 100% Facebook recommendation rate, and a 4.9 Yelp rating. It holds the largest organic social media following in the entire brand, with local food influencers routinely featuring its products. It already dominates the premium search spots that competitors spend years chasing.
The Financials at a Glance
Proven Volume: Grand opened in late May 2025, booking 521,677 dollars in verified net sales through June 2026.
Strong Cash Flow: Yields a highly attractive 149,000 dollars in adjusted Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), backed by a transparent financial bridge.
Active Momentum: Currently running on a 47,000 dollar monthly pace, with June 2026 sales beating June 2025 by 6.0%. Revenue and profit will naturally continue to increase year over year as the brand footprint aggressively expands across the United States.
Seasonality Solved: Hot coffee carries the cold months while premium ice cream and boba tea dominate the heat, allowing the fall and winter quarters to remarkably retain 67% of peak summer sales.
Locked In Costs: Rent is locked in at a below market rate representing just 9% of sales, making future revenue highly profitable.
Turnkey Operational Blueprint
This unique three in one café concept combines rotating premium ice cream, shade grown specialty coffee, and craft boba teas. Target profit margins are comfortably achieved at original opening prices. Menu prices have not been raised, providing instant pricing power and margin headroom.
The minimal prep kitchen requires zero line cooking. The business is fully staff run and semi absentee by design, requiring only a few hours of oversight per week thanks to a fully trained team.
All equipment was purchased brand new in 2025, including walk in freezers and a La Marzocco espresso machine, with warranties transferring where permitted. A commercial backup generator and automatic transfer switch guarantee total product protection and storm proof operations. Replicating this build out from scratch today costs between 500,000 and 600,000 dollars per the franchisor's quote, which comes with zero revenue and major construction delays. Here, the execution risk is completely eliminated.
Untapped Multi Unit Revenue Growth
Management focused entirely on perfecting the in house guest experience. As a result, massive secondary revenue lines remain untouched. Inbound event catering requests occur regularly but sit at zero dollars today simply because the current owners first chose to perfect the instore guest experience which reflects in their customer feedback. A new owner can immediately activate this built in demand, introduce gift cards, and leverage this flagship status to expand into adjacent high growth markets like Downtown Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, Anderson, and Clemson.
Transaction Protocol
One partner is relocating internationally on a two year horizon, providing the perfect runway for a structured handover alongside complete franchisor onboarding support. Serious buyers are encouraged to visit quietly as ordinary patrons to experience the quality firsthand. To receive the verified financial data package, address, and brand identity, please inquire with a brief summary of your business background and available capital. Offers will be evaluated collectively within 30 days of financial disclosure to select the best fit for the store's ongoing legacy.
