Business Description
Step into a rare, money-making opportunity just in time for the holiday rush. This beloved 50-year-old gourmet food shop is the region’s go to destination for custom gift baskets, charcuterie boards, imported cheeses, artisanal foods, Belgian sweets, and curated pantry items. With Christmas approaching, the shop is already gearing up for its annual onslaught of high margin gift basket orders, dozens of styles ranging from $50 to $200, enough to make your investment back in one season. Located on a lively plaza just off I 91 and steps from a major university, this 868 sq. ft. gem delivers huge traffic, strong retail sales, and unmatched brand loyalty. The business is truly turnkey: shelves are fully stocked, the basement is functional for gift basket production, and major recent upgrades include five new coolers and three new freezers. The all inclusive rent is an astonishing $1,350/month, creating low overhead and exceptional cash flow potential. The shop also boasts a 10,000+ Instagram following, a top performing website, and a modern infrastructure that supports delivery, catering, and e commerce growth. The seller is motivated and ready to provide hands on training to ensure a seamless transition. This is the only gourmet shop of its kind within miles, with no real competition in an upscale neighborhood that has supported this institution for half a century. Preferred vendor relationships with Yale University and the University of New Haven add even more stability and upside. If you’re looking for a turnkey, high margin, holiday driven business with massive gift basket and charcuterie board demand, this is the one. Christmas came early. Motivated seller wants offers.
