Share on Reddit Business Description
Operating Bahama Buck's franchise in Richmond, Texas — one of the
fastest-growing suburbs in the Houston metro. The store opened in
2022.
Revenue rose from $251,458 in 2025 to $274,112 over the trailing twelve
months, with seller's discretionary earnings of approximately $47,000.
PRICED WELL BELOW REPLACEMENT COST
Per Bahama Buck's current Franchise Disclosure Document, opening a new single
location requires an estimated $528,050 to $1,223,050 — including $117,000 to
$145,000 in equipment, $35,000 to $60,000 in signage and decor, and $270,000
or more in build-out. This location is already built, permitted, equipped,
staffed, and generating revenue.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- 1,630 sq ft leased space with drive-thru and indoor dine-in seating
- Lease secured through December 2029, with a five-year renewal option
- Full equipment package acquired with the store: walk-in freezer, HVAC,
shaver islands, blender and smoothie stations, ice machine, POS terminals,
drive-thru headset system and digital menu boards
- Trained staff of 10 part-time employees
- All permits and licenses in place, including health department and fire
marshal approvals
- Established point-of-sale, loyalty, scheduling and online-ordering systems
MULTIPLE REVENUE CHANNELS
Walk-in and dine-in, drive-thru, third-party delivery (DoorDash, Grubhub),
direct online ordering, plus catering and local school-district fundraiser
relationships.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
The store currently runs roughly 9% below Bahama Buck's sales benchmark for
comparable locations, leaving measurable headroom for an operator willing to
push marketing, extend hours, or develop catering and fundraiser programs.
Marketing spend to date has been minimal.
SEASONALITY
As with all frozen dessert concepts in Texas, sales peak in spring and summer
and slow in late fall and winter. Detailed monthly financials are available so
buyers can model this accurately.
TERMS
Asking $149,000. Seller financing available for qualified buyers. Franchisor
approval, training, and a new franchise agreement are required for any
transfer; Bahama Buck's has been notified and is supportive of a sale to a
qualified operator.
Complete financial statements, tax returns, monthly P&L model and lease
documents available to qualified buyers under NDA. Owner available for a
transition and training period.

About the Business

- Employees
- 10 Part-time
- Franchise
- This business is an established Bahama Buck's franchise
- Facilities & Assets
- 1,630 SF suite with a 21-ft storefront and dedicated drive-thru in Commons at Harvest Green Phase II — a 16,077 SF retail center with 94 parking spaces on Harlem Rd, directly across from Travis High School (~2,500 students) and minutes from the Grand Parkway (99).
Full turnkey buildout conveys: shaver islands, block maker, ice shaver machines, ice machine and hopper, walk-in freezer with epoxy shelving, blender and smoothie stations, ice cream freezer, mixing tank, HVAC system, tankless water heater, 3-bay and hand sinks, stainless prep tables, chrome shelving, drive-thru menu board and headset system, Revel POS with iPad terminals, 55" digital menu TVs, illuminated signage, and booth and table seating.
Lease runs through 12/31/2029 at $6,493/mo (base + NNN), with a renewal option beyond. The lease includes an exclusive-use clause barring the landlord from leasing to another frozen-drink concept in the center. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in Fort Bend County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, in the Richmond/Harvest Green corridor southwest of Houston. The immediate trade area includes two large master-planned communities still under development — Harvest Green (~2,000 homes) and Aliana (~4,000 homes) — plus Travis High School (~2,500 students) directly across Harlem Rd and steady commuter traffic from the Grand Parkway.
Bahama Buck's is a nationally recognized shaved-ice and frozen-treat franchise with a differentiated product that only partially overlaps traditional ice cream and frozen yogurt concepts. The lease's exclusive-use provision protects the location within the center. Texas's long warm season supports an extended selling period relative to most U.S. markets. - Opportunities for Growth
- • Marketing is underinvested — total advertising spend was under $4,000 (roughly 1.5% of revenue) over the trailing twelve months. Bringing local and social spend to franchise-typical levels is the most direct path to volume.
• Travis High School sits directly across the street with ~2,500 students; fundraisers, spirit nights, and student promotions are largely untapped.
• Catering and group orders are established but small — an existing vendor relationship with Fort Bend ISD can be expanded.
• Olo online ordering, DoorDash, and Grubhub are live but lightly promoted.
• The Punchh loyalty platform is in place and available for repeat-visit campaigns.
• Both surrounding master-planned communities are still adding homes, growing the residential base without additional spend.
• Extended summer hours and seasonal limited-time offers offer incremental volume.
