Gourmet Galleria Caramel Apples & Treats is an established seasonal specialty bakery operating since 1999, specializing in gourmet caramel apples and holiday treats. This home-based business has built a loyal customer following over 25 years by creating signature oversized caramel apples featuring six layers of premium toppings paired with tart apples, with each apple serving up to 8 people.

The business operates strategically during a concentrated 5-week peak season from Thanksgiving through Christmas, generating $37,590 in annual revenue with $10,000 in seller's discretionary earnings. This focused operational model demonstrates strong profitability during the holiday season when demand is highest. The business maintains minimal overhead as a home-based operation with low maintenance requirements.

Customers view these gourmet treats as more than gifts - they represent family and company traditions that create memorable holiday experiences. The business has established itself as the go-to source for premium caramel apples in the Kentwood area, with limited local competition specifically in this niche market during peak season.

Significant growth opportunities exist to expand beyond the current 5-week operating window. The owners receive year-round inquiries but currently only operate during peak holiday season, leaving 47 weeks of potential revenue untapped. This represents substantial opportunity for an owner-operator to extend the season and capture additional market demand.

The current owners, who also operate a successful lawn care business, are selling due to time constraints as their primary business has grown substantially. They are committed to ensuring continuity for their loyal customer base who have made these treats part of their holiday traditions.

Included in the $30,000 asking price are $3,000 in fixtures, furniture, and equipment plus $3,000 in inventory. The sellers offer comprehensive post-sale support including training, relationship transfers, supplier connections, and seasonal assistance during the transition period. Seller financing is available to qualified buyers.

This turnkey opportunity offers an established brand with proven customer loyalty, minimal competition, and significant expansion potential for an entrepreneur seeking a profitable seasonal business with strong community connections.
