About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Approx. 500 SF turnkey tea shop with efficient service counter and customer flow. Includes FFE valued around $120,000: furniture, fixtures, equipment, POS setup, prep stations, refrigeration as applicable, sinks, storage, and Type II venting for light food operations (where permitted). Clean modern build-out designed for fast pickup, delivery, and strong lunchtime throughput.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Downtown DC (20006) benefits from heavy weekday demand driven by offices, hotels, and commuter traffic, supporting strong morning and lunchtime beverage sales. The area rewards concepts that deliver speed, consistency, and convenience. Competition exists, but smaller footprints with efficient operations and strong grab-and-go positioning perform well, especially with delivery and mobile ordering.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Increase sales with mobile ordering, delivery optimization, and corporate catering/drop-offs to nearby offices and meetings. Add high-margin upsells (toppings, snacks, pastries) and seasonal drinks to drive repeat visits. Extend hours to capture afternoon/evening traffic and weekend visitors. Build a loyalty program and partnerships with nearby gyms, offices, and hotels to lock in recurring volume.
