Ultra-rare opportunity to acquire a dominant, high-performing 7-unit gourmet cookie franchise portfolio producing $4M+ in SDE with exceptional margins and rapid year-over-year growth. This is one of the strongest-performing multi-unit dessert portfolios in the region, operating at volumes multiple times higher than typical QSR benchmarks.

Powered by viral weekly flavor drops, cult-like customer loyalty, and unmatched brand hype across Instagram and TikTok, this portfolio delivers the holy grail investors seek: scale, systems, brand power, and serious cash flow—all already in place.

Business Overview

Founded in 2020, this operation has quickly become the #1 cookie destination in every market it serves, consistently outperforming system averages. The concept’s rotating weekly menu creates urgency and repeat traffic, while high-visibility locations in top-tier shopping centers ensure nonstop demand.

The brand attracts families, teens, and young professionals alike, fueled by massive social media engagement and app-based ordering. Each store offers walk-in service, pickup, and mobile ordering, producing lines out the door week after week. In Central Massachusetts, this franchise is widely regarded as the undisputed leader in specialty desserts.

Key Financial Highlights

- Revenue: $13.7M across 5 stabilized units

- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $3.2M–$4.0M (?27% margin)

- Growth: ~40% year-over-year

- 7-Unit Run Rate: Projected $14.4M+ revenue and $4M SDE as all units stabilize

Operational Details

The portfolio operates out of 1,500–2,500 sq. ft. end-cap and in-line retail spaces in high-traffic shopping centers with excellent parking and visibility. Each unit is fully built out with professional-grade mixers, ovens, refrigeration, freezers, and dedicated production flow for high-volume cookie output.

Approximately 115 trained employees support the operation, including general managers, shift leads, bakers, and decorators. The franchisor provides best-in-class systems, proprietary forecasting tools, technology, and standardized operating procedures—allowing for consistency and scalability.

Ownership Structure:

- One owner is hands-on with day-to-day operations

- One owner is largely absentee, focused on finance and strategy

This creates a smooth transition for a buyer seeking either semi-absentee ownership or further professionalization.

Reason for Sale

After successfully building one of the top-performing portfolios in the system, the owners are choosing to diversify investments and reallocate capital into other ventures.

Growth Opportunities

- Significant upside remains for a motivated buyer:

- Open additional units in untapped Central MA trade areas or nearby states

- Launch corporate gifting and catering programs (high-margin)

- Leverage partnerships with schools, events, and institutions

- Centralize logistics and cross-store marketing to reduce COGS and payroll

- Capitalize on upcoming product expansions

- A buyer who leans harder into social media can unlock even greater viral-driven sales

Ideal Buyer Profile

This opportunity is ideal for a multi-unit operator, franchise investor, or private equity–backed group seeking a proven, high-volume retail concept with existing management and infrastructure. Buyers who understand franchising, team leadership, and brand-driven consumer demand will find this portfolio exceptionally compelling. This is the type of cash-flowing asset that builds long-term, generational wealth.
