Semi-absentee, manager-run since ~June 2024
This is an established, fully operational co-branded dessert franchise in the Acworth area of metro Atlanta, combining two nationally recognized brands - premium hand-mixed ice cream and fresh-baked cookies and cookie cakes - under one roof. The dual-concept format generates two complementary revenue streams from a single location and staff.
The business is turnkey and already staffed, with all specialized equipment included in the sale, including a professional baking oven and a full complement of creamery fixtures. Customers order in-store or through third-party delivery platforms, and the location is backed by the marketing, training, and supply chain of an established national franchisor.
The concept pairs everyday treat purchases - cones, shakes, and individual cookies - with higher-ticket custom orders such as cookie cakes and ice cream cakes for birthdays, holidays, and events. This mix helps balance the seasonality typical of single-concept ice cream shops, since the cookie and custom-cake side drives year-round demand.
Acworth is a fast-growing northwest Atlanta suburb in Cobb County with a family-heavy population and household incomes above the national median, set on a high-traffic retail corridor - favorable demographics for a dessert and treat concept.
With an established operating system, brand recognition, and corporate support, this opportunity is well suited to an owner-operator or a first-time franchise buyer. Franchisor approval and standard training apply to the transfer. Contact us today to learn more and request additional information.

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Fully equipped, turnkey co-branded dessert store with all specialized equipment included in the asking price - a professional baking oven, ice cream creamery fixtures and a frozen-slab prep surface, display cases, and a complete front-of-house build-out. The space operates as a single combined location serving both brands. Equipment that would cost significantly more to source and install new transfers with the sale.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Ice cream and dessert shops sit within a roughly $7 billion U.S. ice cream store market, supplemented by year-round demand for cookies and custom cakes. Acworth is a fast-growing Cobb County suburb (population ~22,500, up nearly 70% since 2000) with median household income around $83,500 and a more affluent surrounding trade area. The co-branded format and an established national franchise platform help set the location apart from single-concept competitors on a busy retail corridor.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Mondays currently run reduced hours (midday to early evening) versus later closings the rest of the week - extending Monday hours could capture additional traffic. There is room to grow catering and corporate/event cake orders and to build a stronger local social-media and community-marketing presence, which appears limited today. The custom cookie-cake and ice-cream-cake lines offer higher-ticket upside alongside everyday walk-in sales.

About the Sale

The current owner can assist with the transition. Franchisor approval and a standard transfer and training process apply to any sale.
