Fresh Produce Franchise Inside King Soopers – $10K/Mo Owner Earnings
Business Description
Own an established fresh-cut produce franchise operating inside a busy King Soopers grocery store in one of Littleton's most desirable retail corridors. This unique owner-operated business specializes in preparing fresh-cut fruit, vegetable trays, fruit bowls, salads, and packaged produce sold directly through one of Colorado's largest grocery retailers.
The business currently generates approximately $36,000 in monthly gross sales (seller reported) and provides the owner with approximately $10,000 per month in seller-reported owner compensation. At the current asking price of $25,000, buyers have the opportunity to acquire an established business at approximately 2.5 times one month's owner earnings.
Unlike a traditional retail business, this operation benefits from the built-in customer traffic generated by King Soopers while avoiding many of the overhead expenses associated with a standalone storefront. The current operator reports no traditional rent, utility, water, or trash expenses, allowing ownership to focus primarily on production, packaging, labeling, and inventory management.
Located within an affluent Littleton trade area, the surrounding demographics include over 254,000 residents within a 5-mile radius, an average household income exceeding $157,000, more than $1.08 billion in annual food and alcohol spending, and nearby traffic counts exceeding 35,000 vehicles per day, providing a strong customer base for fresh, ready-to-eat produce products.
This business is ideal for an owner-operator seeking a simple, low-overhead operation with an established grocery partnership and minimal startup investment. The current owners are selling to spend more time with their growing family after welcoming a new child.
Please do not disturb the business, employees, or customers regarding the sale. All inquiries, requests for information, and showings must be directed exclusively through the listing broker.
