Turnkey Cookbook Brand: ~$700K Retail Inventory, Full IP, No Royalties
The Kitch is a cookbook publishing brand with three fully owned titles and roughly 14,000 finished, retail-ready books. This is a pure asset play: the asking price sits below the cost of simply reprinting the inventory, and the intellectual property, brand, and website come with it.
The catalog:
• All-vegan cookbook featuring a Food Network–featured chef — plant-based is one of the most durable cookbook categories, and the on-air credibility is a built-in marketing hook. Quotes from celebrity chefs endorsing the author/book.
• Teen cookbook — a perennial gift, holiday, and back-to-school category
• "Craziest meals to try before you die" — a giftable bucket-list novelty title
All three titles are owned outright. No author royalties, no licensing fees, no revenue share — the buyer keeps 100% of every sale and can reprint at will.
Included in the sale:
• ~14,000 books, palletized in third-party storage in Dallas, TX
• Full rights to all three titles, print and digital
• The Kitch brand, domain, and website
• Printer and supplier contacts for reprints
The business ran as direct-to-consumer and has been dormant for the past couple of years while the owner focused on other companies — the titles didn't fail, they were shelved due to lack of time. With approximately $700,000 in retail value sitting finished on pallets, a buyer with an existing sales channel — Amazon, TikTok Shop, e-commerce, liquidation, or gift/specialty wholesale — can start converting inventory to cash immediately, with zero production lead time or upfront print investment.
Ideal buyer: an Amazon or TikTok Shop book seller, a liquidator, an independent publisher adding owned backlist, or a food-space content creator who wants physical products to sell.
• Location: Dallas, TX (inventory location — business is home-based and fully relocatable)
• Employees: None — owner-operated
• Inventory: ~14,000 finished books — included in asking price
• Real Estate: None — inventory held in third-party storage
• Reason for Selling: Owner focused on scaling other ventures
