This is an opportunity to acquire a long-established retail bakery and deli located on Vancouver Island. The business has been operating for over 70 years, many of them under the current ownership, making it a true community staple. Financial performance is consistent year over year, supported by strong margins and disciplined pricing.

The bakery produces a broad range of baked goods on site, including breads, buns, pastries, donuts, cakes, and grab-and-go deli items. Sales are driven primarily by walk-in customers; a loyal local customer base that returns consistently throughout the year. This is made easy because of the highly visible, high-foot-traffic location with easy access and convenient parking.

The current owners are involved in production, oversight and administration, but the operation is supported by capable senior staff who provide continuity. A new owner could remain hands-on in baking or gradually step into a more managerial role over time. Overall, the business is well positioned for a buyer who wants the option to grow at their own pace, without needing to reinvent the operation.

As the owners look toward retirement, they are committed to supporting a smooth transition and are willing to provide hands-on training and post-closing support to help the new owner learn the business, maintain quality standards, and retain staff and customers.

This opportunity is well suited to:
-An individual owner-operator
-A baker or food-service professional looking to own a proven business
-A buyer seeking strong cash flow from a community-anchored retail operation
-Someone looking for a stable, lifestyle-friendly business with growth upside
