A profitable, rapidly growing packaged Italian specialty snack and dessert business based in Portland, Oregon is available for acquisition. Founded in 2023 and rooted in three generations of authentic Sicilian family recipes, this woman-owned business has become a recognized name at Portland-area farmers markets and has secured its first placement at a respected independent grocery chain — all while being operated part-time around outside employment.
Revenue has grown 14× in two years: from $2,213 in the business's first year to $32,446 in 2025. Gross margin has improved from 32% to 55% over the same period, demonstrating that the business is becoming more efficient as it scales — not less. 2025 was the first year of profitability, with adjusted Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of ~$14,334 (conservative $7,500 owner draw).
The flagship product is a traditional savory Italian biscuit — a category in which this brand is the only producer on the entire West Coast. This is not a crowded market: there is no direct regional competition, and consumer interest in traditional Italian specialty foods continues to grow. The product has a 6-month shelf life, requires no refrigeration, and is vegan-friendly — making it easy to stock, ship, and sell across multiple channels.
The full product lineup includes 16 registered SKUs across four product lines:
• Savory Italian biscuits — 6 retail flavors (4 oz.) and 3 bulk wholesale sizes (24 oz.) — the flagship and highest-revenue line
• Biscotti, Twice-baked Italian cookies — 5 flavors in 6 oz. bags (3 year-round, 2 seasonal fall/winter)
• Pizzelles, Italian waffle cookies — 2 seasonal flavors, highly giftable, strong holiday market sell-through
• Individual olive oil dessert cakes — 2 flavors in individual tins, introduced in 2025 with strong market reception. UPC registration in progress.

All recipes are proprietary, fully documented, and rooted in three generations of Sicilian family tradition. They have been refined through two years of commercial production and validated across 71 farmers market events. Products are handcrafted in small batches using organic ingredients and carry no preservatives.

Revenue is generated across four channels: farmers markets (66%), wholesale (26%), online direct (6%), and home/direct sales (2%). The wholesale channel grew nearly 2,000% from 2023 to 2025 and represents the most scalable path forward for a new owner.
