Beautiful Turnkey 1,400 SF Café / Food & Beverage Space
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully designed, fully built-out and equipped café / food-and-beverage space at substantially less than the amount originally invested in creating the location.
Approximately $350,000–$400,000 was originally invested in the buildout, improvements, equipment, fixtures, furnishings and setup. The location is now being offered at $199,000, with major equipment and installed systems included.
The store is currently operating as a Teaspoon franchise, but this opportunity may be particularly attractive to an operator interested in bringing their own café, bakery, beverage, dessert, grab-and-go, light-meal or complementary food concept to an already completed space.
The biggest advantage: the expensive and time-consuming buildout is already done. The space is beautifully finished, operational and equipped. A buyer can potentially avoid much of the time, cost and uncertainty associated with designing and building a new location from an empty shell.
UNTAPPED FOOD OPPORTUNITY
The current menu is beverage-focused, with food primarily limited to packaged snacks. Customers regularly ask for additional food options, but the current owner has chosen not to undertake that expansion.
There is significant potential for an operator who can introduce lunch, light meals, bakery/pastry items, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, desserts, grab-and-go foods or other complementary offerings. This could provide additional reasons for existing customers to visit and capture sales the current beverage-focused operation has not addressed.
MAJOR EQUIPMENT INCLUDED
• Full walk-in refrigerator
• Separate walk-in freezer
• Commercial ice maker
• 3-spout tea espresso machine
• 3 prep refrigerators
• 3 prep tables
• 2 drink shaker stations / ice chests
• 2 commercial hot-water dispensers
• 4-compartment sink
• Multiple commercial storage racks
• Full Toast POS setup, ordering kiosk, screens, thermal ticket printers
• Installed Sonos sound system
• Installed security camera system
• Nest-controlled A/C and remote-access systems
• Large TV menu display
• Table/seating furnishings, fixtures and operational equipment
Equipment is currently in use and in good working condition.
ABOUT THE SALE
This opportunity is being marketed primarily for the value of the completed buildout, equipment, fixtures, furnishings, infrastructure, and the time and expense a buyer may avoid by acquiring an already completed location. The asking price is not being represented as a multiple of the historical earnings or cash flow of the existing beverage concept.
CONFIDENTIAL SALE – PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH EMPLOYEES
Employees have not been informed that the location is for sale. Prospective buyers are welcome to visit during normal business hours as customers, but please do not discuss the sale, question employees about the business, or identify yourself as a prospective buyer.
Private tours are available by appointment for serious buyers. Owner is happy to answer questions and walk prospective buyers through the space, equipment, buildout and lease information.
Beautiful, fully equipped and ready for a new operator’s vision — without starting the buildout process from scratch.
