This is a rare opportunity to own a high-performing boba shop in the heart of San Francisco’s iconic Hayes Valley. Located in a prime, high-foot-traffic corridor, the shop generated over $800K in sales this year and continues to grow. It’s the only boba shop in the entire shopping area, giving you a built-in competitive advantage and steady customer flow from locals, tourists, and nearby businesses.
With a 4.4-star rating and 1,000+ reviews on Yelp, plus 4.4 stars across 600+ Google reviews, the business is already well-established with a loyal following and strong online presence.
Currently, the shop is absentee-run, as the owner is focused on other businesses. This presents a fantastic opportunity for an owner-operator to step in, personally manage day-to-day operations, enhance customer service, optimize financial performance, and potentially expand the menu with food items to further increase sales revenue. This turnkey business offers proven demand, excellent visibility, and significant growth potential for the right hands-on owner.
