Asking Price: $180,000 | Approx. 1,800 SF
? 23015 Colonial Pkwy A109, Katy, TX 77449 – Inside KAT Elite Center

Exceptional opportunity to acquire a second-generation dessert and beverage concept in a growing Katy retail corridor. This turnkey business is located in KAT Elite Center, a vibrant multi-tenant destination serving families, students, and surrounding residential communities. The space is approximately 1,800 square feet and comes fully built out with a commercial kitchen—allowing a new owner to skip months of construction, permitting, and setup and begin operating immediately.

The sale is structured as an asset sale, providing buyers with a fully equipped operation including major kitchen equipment, fixtures, and existing workflow. The buildout investment is approximately $150,000, with an estimated $60,000 in equipment, offering significant value at the current asking price. Facilities include dishwasher station, cooler and freezer, multiple sink stations, beverage prep area with blenders, front counter service setup, and flexible seating layout suitable for dine-in and takeout.

The current concept focuses on shaved ice, specialty drinks, and snacks/small bites, but the infrastructure also supports other dessert, beverage, or light food concepts. This flexibility makes the location attractive for owner-operators, family businesses, or food entrepreneurs seeking a ready-made platform to launch or expand.

Lease is secured through 2028, providing stability for a new owner. Current base rent is approximately $5,800/month with NNN of about $1,534/month. Estimated monthly payroll ranges from $3,000–$5,000, and inventory averages $4,000–$5,000. Annual gross revenue is approximately $150,000, with roughly 35% cash sales. Based on current operations, the business is best positioned as a turnkey asset opportunity with upside, rather than an income-based investment, making it ideal for hands-on ownership.

This offering is priced below replacement cost. A buyer benefits from acquiring a fully built-out space with substantial hard assets already in place—saving both capital and time compared to starting from scratch. With owner involvement, optimized staffing, targeted local marketing, delivery activation, and menu enhancements, there is clear potential to increase traffic, improve margins, and grow overall revenue.

Growth opportunities include expanding seasonal offerings, introducing premium toppings or combo bundles to raise average ticket size, activating online ordering and delivery, developing catering and party packages for schools and community groups, and strengthening social media presence. A hands-on operator can also improve cost controls and vendor pricing, creating a path toward improved profitability.

Seller will provide post-closing training and transition support (2–4 weeks, negotiable) to ensure a smooth handover, including operational guidance, menu preparation, equipment orientation, supplier introductions, and workflow overview.

Financing structure is flexible for qualified buyers. Seller prefers cash but may consider cash plus seller financing with strong down payment. Lease assignment and landlord approval required. NDA is required prior to releasing detailed financials and equipment list.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated buyer seeking a ready-to-run dessert and beverage business in a strong Katy location—perfect for first-time entrepreneurs, family operators, or existing food service owners looking for a second location.
