Turnkey, fully built-out healthy fast-casual café available for acquisition in the Northwest Chicago suburbs.

The business offers açaí bowls, smoothies and other health-focused food and beverage products from an attractive, professionally built-out retail location.

The current owner is completely absentee and spends approximately 0 hours per week working in the business. Day-to-day operations are supported by an established staff and management structure, creating an opportunity for either an absentee buyer or an owner-operator seeking to increase cash flow by taking a more active role in the business.

The location opened in March 2025 following a substantial buildout. Approximately $230,000 was invested in leasehold improvements, in addition to approximately $38,000 of equipment, creating a turnkey opportunity for a buyer who wants to avoid the significant cost, permitting, construction and startup process associated with opening a new location.

The business generated approximately $328,000 of operating revenue during its partial first year of operations in 2025. The first year included significant startup and one-time expenses.

Performance has improved substantially in 2026. Through July 2026, the business generated approximately $215,000 of operating revenue and $26,000 of reported EBITDA before normalization for a one-time rent catch-up expense.

The business has demonstrated positive operating EBITDA while remaining absentee-owned.

A hands-on owner has additional opportunity to improve cash flow by replacing some existing management labor and actively developing additional revenue channels.

An additional farmers-market sales channel was launched in 2026 and has generated approximately $8,600 in sales through the current reporting period, despite limited participation. Other potential growth opportunities include expanded farmers markets, catering, community partnerships, local events and increased owner involvement.

The premises are leased with approximately 42 months remaining on the current term plus a five-year renewal option.

Sale includes the operating business, furniture, fixtures and equipment, existing operating systems and other business assets included in the final purchase agreement.
