Profitable and fully equipped La Michoacana ice cream and paleta shop available in the Los Angeles area. Established since 2018, this is a turnkey, currently operating business with an established customer base, extensive commercial equipment, inventory, recipes, supplier relationships and seller training included.

PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB EMPLOYEES OR VISIT THE BUSINESS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE SALE. ALL INQUIRIES AND SHOWINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

The business generated approximately $211,000 in annual gross revenue in the year 2025, with approximately $65,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). Asking price is $144,000, including approximately $75,000 in FF&E and $15,000 in inventory.

Step into a fully established business and start generating revenue from day one. Everything needed to operate is already in place—the location is completely built out, equipment is installed and running, inventory is stocked, recipes and suppliers are established, and the business already has an existing customer base. Instead of spending months searching for a location, completing a build-out, purchasing and installing equipment, developing a menu, sourcing suppliers and building customers from scratch, the new owner can take over and immediately focus on sales and growth. This is an opportunity to acquire a proven operation with the foundation already built and several clear opportunities for the next owner to take it further.

The shop is equipped for both retail sales and in-house production. Major equipment includes a Stoelting VB120 commercial batch freezer, commercial paleta production equipment and molds, multiple ice cream display freezers, commercial refrigerators and freezers, fruit/prep refrigerators, digital menu screens, prep equipment, counters, fixtures and smallwares. A new A/C system was also recently installed.

The menu currently includes Mexican-style ice cream, paletas, fresh fruit, aguas frescas, snacks and specialty desserts, with considerable room for a new owner to expand.

Significant Growth Potential

The current operation has not been fully maximized, creating several straightforward opportunities for the next owner. Customers regularly request additional items such as crepes, mini pancakes, tortas and specialty corn-based soups/snacks that are not currently offered. A torta machine is already available but has not been put into regular use.

There is also an opportunity to extend operating hours. The business sometimes opens around noon even though the surrounding area experiences morning activity beginning around 8 AM. An owner who opens earlier and expands the menu could capture additional sales without needing another location.

Further opportunities include delivery platforms, stronger social media marketing, catering and party packages, local school/community events, business partnerships, and increased utilization of the existing ice cream and paleta production equipment.

The business currently has a lease at approximately $3,050 per month through July 2030, providing the next owner with an established location and several years remaining on the current lease term, subject to landlord approval/transfer requirements.

Seller is pursuing other business ventures and is committed to making the transition as smooth as possible. Up to 30 days of hands-on training can be provided, including recipes, product preparation, ice cream and paleta production, suppliers, ordering, inventory management, equipment operation, POS procedures and day-to-day store operations.

Cash preferred. Reasonable offers considered.

This is an opportunity to acquire an established, profitable and fully equipped operation rather than spending the time and capital required to build a similar concept from the ground up.
