Established European Bakery & Real Estate for Sale
Business Description
Turnkey Bakery with Real Estate, Experienced Staff & Transition Suppor
This established European-style bakery presents a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, well-run food business paired with real estate in a charming Midwest community. The operation has served its market for over a century and enjoys strong brand recognition, consistent customer demand, and repeat business from both locals and visitors.
The bakery offers a broad mix of scratch-made products produced on site, with revenue generated through multiple channels including retail storefront sales, pre-orders, online ordering for pickup, and limited nationwide shipping. Operations are streamlined and supported by documented systems, production planning tools, and clearly defined roles, allowing for efficient day-to-day management.
Financial performance has remained stable and resilient across economic cycles. The business has demonstrated steady revenue growth in recent years, supported by disciplined cost controls, reinvestment into equipment and infrastructure, and a loyal customer base. Clean financials and detailed reporting are available to qualified buyers following execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
The offering includes the real estate used in the operation, consisting of a primary bakery facility and an auxiliary building used for storage and support functions. Ownership of the property provides long-term stability and eliminates lease risk, making this an attractive opportunity for both owner-operators and strategic buyers.
The bakery is staffed by a seasoned team with deep operational knowledge and long tenure. Daily production, storefront operations, and fulfillment are managed by experienced personnel, reducing reliance on the owner for routine execution. Training materials and operating procedures are in place to support continuity.
The brand has been built over decades and is widely associated with quality, consistency, and tradition. Customers regularly seek out the bakery as a destination, contributing to dependable foot traffic and strong word-of-mouth marketing. While the business is successful in its current form, there are clear opportunities for a new owner to expand revenue through additional wholesale relationships, enhanced online sales, or expanded product offerings.
The current ownership is prepared to support a thoughtful transition and is willing to provide training to ensure a smooth handoff. This opportunity is well-suited for a buyer seeking a proven concept with real estate, stable cash flow, and meaningful upside, without the risks typically associated with startups.
Further details are available upon request to qualified buyers who execute a confidentiality agreement.
