Established dessert franchise bakery in Rochester, Minnesota, part of a nationally recognized brand with a national marketing engine, a robust product menu, and a customer base that arrives through the brand's own app and delivery channels. The store has been open since 2021 and generated ~$1.1 million in revenue over the twelve months ending June 2026.

This is priced as an owner-operator opportunity, and the seller is being direct about why. The store is currently managed remotely as part of a multi-unit portfolio and pays a management fee. It carries no on-site owner. Trailing operating results are near breakeven, and revenue has declined along with the brand's system-wide sales normalization following its peak years.

What that means for the right buyer:

The management fee, roughly $48,000 a year, disappears at closing.
Labor ran ~39% of revenue in the first half of 2026 and food ran ~27%. Both are well above where a hands-on operator runs this format. Bringing labor to 32% and food to 25% is worth roughly $82,000 a year at current volume.

A full build-out of a store in this format costs several hundred thousand dollars and takes months. This one is built, staffed, equipped, and operating, with an established local customer base and a ~1,900 square foot space.

The seller will provide complete monthly QuickBooks profit and loss statements from January 2023 forward, plus a working financial model that lets you run your own labor and food cost assumptions, after a signed confidentiality agreement.

Rochester is a strong long-term market: the Mayo Clinic system and its ongoing expansion anchor a large, stable, high-traffic employment base, with substantial untapped corporate and catering demand.

Buyer must be approved by the franchisor and complete the brand's training program. The brand name will be disclosed after a signed NDA.
