Rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, semi-absentee franchised gourmet dessert bakery serving a growing Central Wyoming market. This location operates under a nationally recognized dessert franchise brand with strong consumer recognition, protected territory, and limited direct competition in its trade area. An experienced management team runs day-to-day operations, allowing ownership to remain out of state and largely hands-off.

Operating since 2020, the business has built a loyal customer following through fresh-baked gourmet products, frequent limited-time offerings, mobile ordering, and delivery. The store operates from a high-traffic retail center under a favorable long-term lease and benefits from the marketing power of one of the fastest-growing dessert franchise systems in the country. Ownership spends only a few hours per week on payroll and high-level oversight while a seasoned store manager and trained team handle operations.

Key Financial Highlights

- Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE): approximately $260K (25%+ SDE margin)

- Gross Revenue: $1.0M–$1.2M

- 3-Year Average SDE: approximately $215K on average annual revenue above $1.0M

- Approximately 20% gross revenue growth over the past three years

Operational Overview

The business is built around efficient franchise systems, standardized operations, and a proven product lineup that drives repeat weekly traffic. Products are prepared fresh daily on site, while the franchisor handles menu development, national marketing, technology, and ongoing support. Revenue is diversified across walk-in, mobile ordering, pickup, and third-party delivery, creating multiple sales channels with strong recurring demand.

The current ownership operates the business on a semi-absentee basis from out of state, demonstrating how smoothly the operation runs under the existing management structure. The store benefits from an excellent reputation, low owner dependency, and a protected franchise territory — an attractive profile for both experienced operators and first-time franchise buyers.

Reason for Sale

Ownership is simplifying business interests to focus on fewer commitments after building a strong, self-sufficient operation.

Growth Opportunities

- Expand approved local marketing initiatives with schools, sporting events, and community partnerships.

- Increase catering and large-event sales, which currently represent a very small percentage of revenue.

- Apply a more hands-on ownership approach to build on the store's already strong customer base.

- Roll out an additional approved product category to unlock a new revenue stream.
