$284K SDE | 68.7% Margin | SBA Pre-Approved | Turnkey Operation
One of the region's most respected artisan bakeries — a craft-focused business with a decade of consistent growth, a fiercely loyal customer base.
By The Numbers:
2025 Revenue: $2,030,253
2025 Seller's Discretionary Earnings: $283,846 (14% of revenue)
3-Year SDE Growth: 66% ($163K → $230K → $284K)
Gross Profit Margin: 68.73% (2025)
EBITDA: $177,718 (8.75% of revenue)
Employees: ~30 (15 FT / 15 PT)
Valuation Multiple: 2.3x SDE (business only) | Real estate appraised separately
Total Asking Price: $1,150,000 (business + owner-occupied real estate)
What You're Buying:
Dual-location bakery, café, and wholesale production operation. Three revenue streams: retail at two locations, wholesale to restaurants and commercial accounts, and catering. Primary location in seller-owned real estate. Both have modern POS systems, documented SOPs, and trained staff.
The Brand:
Founded 2017 by owners with formal culinary training. Hand-laminated croissants, naturally fermented bread, house-made pastry, no artificial ingredients. Customers drive 30+ minutes to shop here. 4.7-star reviews, multiple local awards, consistent media coverage.
Revenue Stability:
Not tourism-dependent. Core customers are local professionals and families. No single wholesale account exceeds 10% of revenue. Low concentration risk.
Why It Stands Out:
Authentic Artisan bakeries at this quality are rare. Proven through pandemic and supply chain disruption. Clean financials, 3 years of tax returns, CPA-managed accounting. SBA pre-screened — ~10% down for qualified buyers. Sellers committed to 60-day transition.
Real Estate:
Primary location in seller-owned building ($350-400K market value). Meaningful long-term equity asset included.
Why They're Selling:
Founders are pursuing new chapters after successfully building this brand into one of the region's most respected food businesses.
This opportunity appeals to several buyer archetypes:
Multi-Unit Café / Restaurant Operator looking to add a production kitchen and wholesale program to an existing portfolio. The business's systems and supplier relationships transfer seamlessly; scalability is built in.
Hospitality Group consolidating regional food brands. The brand equity, team, and operational infrastructure are strong enough to support multi-location rollout or integration into a larger portfolio.
Entrepreneur / Owner-Operator with capital, strong operational background (food service, hospitality, or retail management), and ambition to scale a craft brand. The founders will provide 60-day transition support.
Search Fund / Investment Group seeking an established, cash-flowing platform in the F&B sector with multiple levers for operational upside.
Qualified buyers will be required to execute a Confidentiality Agreement and provide proof of financial capability before confidential information is released.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 9
- Employees
- 30 (15 Full-time, 15 Part-time)
- Facilities & Assets
- Production kitchen location operates under existing lease with renewal terms secured through 2027. Both locations run on Toast POS, digital scheduling, and QuickBooks accounting managed under CPA oversight. Documented recipe management, staff training programs, and vendor relationships transfer to buyer. Sellers will provide 60-day transition period covering all key relationships and procedures.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The artisan & specialty bakery segment enjoys sustained consumer demand for fresh, locally produced, high-quality food experiences. National trends favor authenticity, provenance & craft in food consumption precisely where this business is positioned. The broader café & bakery industry remains resilient across economic cycles even when discretionary spending contracts in other categories. The competitive landscape in the region is favorable. Authentic artisan bakeries operating at this quality level are rare & the brand is an established market leader. The broader industry sees increased automation & kiosk adoption among chain competitors, while this business deliberately differentiated through human-centered, personalized service — a positioning that resonates with its customer base & is difficult for commoditized competitors to replicate.
- Opportunities for Growth
- A buyer who scales wholesale distribution to regional restaurants, activates underutilized digital marketing channels, or expands catering to corporate events will find production capacity already in place. Owners have intentionally optimized for quality over volume — an incoming owner focused on scaling will find operational infrastructure built to support it.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Retirement
- Transition Support
- Owners are committed to a comprehensive transition designed to protect the brand, customer
relationships, & operational continuity they have spent nearly a decade building. They'll provide hands-on training across both locations covering production protocols, wholesale acct. management, catering ops, vendor relationships, staff management practices & administrative systems. The goal is to transfer both the operational knowledge & the institutional understanding of what makes this brand work — standards, relationships & culture that customers return for. The transition period duration and structure will be negotiated as part of the purchase agreement and tailored to the needs of the buyer. The owners understand that their presence during the handover period is a direct contributor to the retained value of the business & they take this responsibility seriously. The buyer will not be left to figure it out alone, they will be supported by owners who are personally invested in the outcome.
