Bubble Tea Shop for Lease – Prime Location Near PSU -

This business is 100% employee-run, with minimal owner involvement—I only visit once a week for supply runs. Please do not disturb or ask employees any questions about the listing.

This bubble tea shop is in University Pointe, a student apartment building with 1,000 student beds above. The space is 1,150 sqft with rent at $2,875/month (including NNN), and the lease runs through December 2026. The landlord, American Campus Communities, is easy to work with and was especially supportive during COVID—renewing the lease shouldn’t be an issue.

Located right by Portland State University (PSU), the shop is surrounded by 5,000 student beds within two blocks. There’s plenty of potential for growth, especially since food hasn’t been introduced yet.

The asking price includes all equipment needed to continue operations, along with the option to retain or replace existing staff. You'll also receive guidance on local supply sourcing and a one-month training period to ensure a smooth transition.

The shop is currently operating as a Ding Tea franchise, but the asking price does not include the franchise name. Buyers have the option to rebrand and introduce their own concept or continue with Ding Tea, though franchise transfer requires additional costs.

If you choose to stay with Ding Tea, you’ll be responsible for all associated fees, including a $10,000 transfer fee, approximately $80,000 in inventory purchase, ongoing royalty fees, and storage costs for inventory.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to enter the bubble tea business in a prime location with built-in foot traffic and growth potential. Contact us for more details or to schedule a visit!
