Confidential opportunity to acquire an established, fully operational specialty beverage and light food business in a highly desirable university-area location in Central Iowa. The business has operated successfully for more than a decade and benefits from a strong history of customer recognition, repeat traffic, and a location surrounded by student housing, retail, restaurants, entertainment, and steady pedestrian activity.

The operation is being offered as a turnkey business, allowing a new owner to step into an existing platform with the equipment, systems, inventory, recipes, supplier relationships, and operational processes already in place. The sale includes specialized commercial beverage preparation equipment, refrigeration and freezer capacity, an ice machine, POS system, food preparation equipment, and other assets necessary for continued operation. Storefront operating inventory is included, with additional bulk inventory to be reconciled separately prior to closing.

The business has generated more than $2.4 million in reported revenue since opening, including multiple years exceeding $250,000 in annual sales and a peak year above $300,000. Like many food and beverage businesses, operations were affected by temporary closures and pandemic-related disruptions, yet the business demonstrated an ability to recover and return to strong sales levels. Recent annual revenue remains substantial, providing an established operating base for a new owner.

The concept benefits from a broad customer mix that includes university students, faculty and staff, local residents, visitors, and customers drawn to the surrounding commercial district. Its long-standing presence in the market provides an advantage over a new startup by offering existing customer awareness, proven operating history, trained processes, and an established supply chain.

The seller is prepared to assist with a smooth transition and provide hands-on training covering equipment operation, recipes, beverage preparation, standardized procedures, POS use, ordering, and supplier relationships. Approximately one to two weeks of on-site transitional assistance is anticipated, helping a buyer become comfortable with day-to-day operations.

This opportunity may be particularly attractive to an owner-operator, entrepreneur, family business, or existing food and beverage operator looking to expand into an established university market without the time and expense associated with building a new concept from the ground up.

The business is being marketed confidentially. Additional financial information, asset details, lease information, and operational records are available to qualified prospective buyers upon execution of an appropriate confidentiality agreement.
