Business Description
Turnkey Café Near Georgia Tech – Fully Equipped & Ready for New Owner
Semi-Absentee Opportunity – Only 5–10 Hours of Owner Involvement Per Week

Established bubble tea and café business in a prime Midtown Atlanta location, directly across from Georgia Tech. The business currently operates as a Ding Tea franchise, and a qualified buyer may have the option to continue with the Ding Tea brand, subject to franchise approval and renewal requirements, or transition the location to their own independent concept.

This location has been established for approximately 6 years and has developed a loyal customer base within the Georgia Tech and surrounding Midtown Atlanta community.

Owner Involvement & Profit Potential
The business currently operates on a semi-absentee basis, requiring approximately 5–10 hours of owner involvement per week, with a trained staff and full-time manager in place. However, a hands-on owner-operator could take a more active role in daily operations, potentially reduce management and labor expenses, improve operational efficiency, and maximize profitability.

Key Advantages
* Approximately 6 years of established operating history
* Prime Midtown Atlanta location directly across from Georgia Tech
* Semi-absentee ownership – approximately 5–10 hours/week
* Full-time manager and trained staff in place
* Established repeat customer base
* Integrated mobile loyalty program
* Modern Square POS system
* Multiple ordering and delivery channels
* Existing beverage and food preparation infrastructure
* Option to pursue continued Ding Tea franchise operation or establish a new concept, subject to applicable approvals
* Franchise marketing and operational support available if the buyer continues with Ding Tea

Equipment & Buildout
The store features a professionally designed beverage and food preparation operation with substantial investment already made in equipment, furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements.

More than $250,000 has been invested in furniture, fixtures, equipment, and buildout, allowing a new owner to take over an established, fully equipped location without the time and expense normally associated with building a new café from the ground up.

The existing infrastructure also provides flexibility for a buyer interested in operating a different food, beverage, café, or restaurant concept.

Growth Opportunities
Expand the Coffee & Food Program
A new owner could further expand the menu with specialty coffee drinks, hot lattes, additional hot beverages, breakfast offerings, and hot food items.

An estimated additional investment of approximately $30,000–$60,000, depending on the concept and equipment selected, could allow for a significantly expanded café and food program designed to increase average customer ticket size and broaden the business beyond traditional bubble tea.

Owner-Operator Upside
The business is currently managed with limited owner involvement. A hands-on owner-operator could potentially reduce management expenses while becoming more directly involved in marketing, operations, catering, local partnerships, and business development.

Georgia Tech & Midtown Market
Its proximity to Georgia Tech provides access to a large population of students, faculty, employees, residents, and visitors, creating opportunities for targeted promotions, student organizations, catering, campus events, and delivery.

Market Outlook / Competition
The specialty beverage and boba tea market in Metro Atlanta continues to grow as demand for premium tea, coffee, and Asian-inspired drinks increases.

Ding Tea stands out with an established international brand, proven operating system, extensive menu, standardized recipes, and consistent product quality. Compared with starting an independent concept, buyers benefit from existing brand recognition, established suppliers, training systems, operational guidance, marketing support, and ongoing product development.

This established location also offers a 6-year operating history, loyal customer base, trained staff, full-time manager, and prime location across from Georgia Tech—giving a new owner a turnkey foundation with significant advantages over starting a new beverage business from scratch.
Opportunities for Growth
Our proven business model is designed for operational efficiency, streamlined staff training, and consistent day-to-day management, while providing a scalable foundation for buyers interested in future expansion, additional locations, or multi-unit ownership opportunities.
