The buyer will need to be approved by the franchisor and can attend franchisor training for free. This is a perfect opportunity for a new owner to drive performance by optimizing labor efficiency, improving cost controls, and increasing store-level marketing initiatives while the store runs on auto-pilot. The seller will also assist with the transition. Sellers are also open to selling a majority stake and staying on as minority partners with the right operating partner.

- Franchise

- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates from a well-maintained 1,750 sq. ft. retail space in a high traffic location. The facility includes a front service counter, ordering area, drink station, food preparation area, display counters, menu boards, storage space, and standard equipment needed for daily operations. The location is fully built out and currently operating, allowing a new owner to take over with minimal setup. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are included in the sale, subject to final asset list confirmation. The location is also staffed with 13 employees, including a head baker, supporting a smooth ownership transition.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Only store in the immediate area with this business model. The local market continues to experience strong population growth, high tourism traffic, and favorable demographics for premium dessert concepts. This location benefits from significant brand recognition, a loyal customer base, and a differentiated model driven by its rotating weekly menu and strong digital ordering platform. While the dessert category is competitive, most alternatives are independent bakeries or legacy brands without the same level of marketing reach, product innovation, or national presence. This location is well-positioned within established retail corridors and continue to benefit from consistent foot traffic and repeat customers.
- Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner can drive performance by optimizing labor efficiency, improving cost controls, and increasing store-level marketing initiatives. Additional upside may come from enhancing catering, delivery channels, and community engagement to increase order frequency and average ticket size. With infrastructure, staffing, and brand presence already in place, this is a scalable platform where incremental improvements can translate directly into increased profitability. A good example is partnering with the school districts for fun food frenzies (currently only in 2 High Schools)
