This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established, turnkey destination café, retail and entertainment concept with multiple revenue streams, a strong reputation and significant potential for continued growth.
The business has grown into much more than a traditional coffee shop. Revenue is generated through specialty coffee and espresso beverages, a full food menu, ice cream, grab-and-go items, retail merchandise, alcohol, seasonal offerings, special events and entertainment. Approximately 2,000 retail SKUs create an additional shopping experience and revenue stream beyond food and beverage.
The business operates with an established team of approximately 13 employees and has developed a loyal following among both visitors and local customers. Tourism represents approximately 80% of the customer base during peak season and remains approximately 75% even during winter months, providing a strong year-round visitor market.
Competition in the immediate area is limited. There is only one other coffee shop in the local market, which also operates as a creamery, while additional coffee competitors are approximately 15 miles away. The food concept is particularly differentiated, with no comparable food offering within approximately 30 miles.
The operation is fully equipped and includes approximately $130,000 in furniture, fixtures and equipment. Assets include commercial coffee and food-service equipment, refrigeration, ice cream equipment, POS systems, retail fixtures, furnishings and a mobile coffee cart that can be used for weddings, festivals, corporate functions, catering and off-site events.
An outdoor entertainment area provides another unique component of the business and includes a bar, concert stage, professional sound equipment, furniture and event infrastructure. This creates additional opportunities for live music, ticketed events, private parties, corporate events, venue rentals and expanded evening programming.
The sale also includes valuable intellectual property, including an established trademark covering café operations, roasted coffee/coffee beans and merchandise. This provides a new owner with opportunities to expand beyond the existing location through packaged and roasted coffee, wholesale accounts, e-commerce, branded merchandise, licensing, mobile operations and potentially additional locations.
Approximately $90,000 in inventory is available separately and will be calculated at closing.
The business occupies a distinctive approximately 7,000-square-foot property that also includes a substantial upstairs residential space. Real estate is not included in the business asking price. An attractive long-term lease is available at approximately $2,500 per month, and purchase of the real estate may be considered for a qualified buyer as part of a larger transaction.
The current owner is committed to ensuring a successful transition and will provide comprehensive training and support. The owner is also open to remaining involved for up to one year under a separately negotiated paid consulting or management agreement.
Significant opportunities remain for a new owner to expand revenue through evening operations, increased alcohol service, live entertainment, private events, catering, venue rentals, mobile coffee service, wholesale coffee, e-commerce and further development of the retail brand.
This is an opportunity to acquire an established brand, trained team, diverse revenue model, substantial equipment package and unique destination concept without the time and expense required to build one from the ground up.
Additional financial information and supporting documentation are available to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
