Turnkey Sugarcane & Specialty Drink Shop – Modern 2023 Buildout
Business Description
Turnkey sugarcane beverage shop located in one of Denver’s busiest multicultural corridors on South Federal Blvd. Space was recent built out in 2023 and offers a modern 1,625 SF space with new equipment, a streamlined workflow, and a menu centered around fresh-pressed sugarcane drinks, specialty Thai teas, acai bowls, and coffee. The business is currently the only dedicated sugarcane concept in Colorado, giving it a strong positioning advantage and a loyal customer base.
The business attracts customers from across the Denver metro area, including Aurora, Thornton, Colorado Springs, and local neighborhoods along Federal, Mississippi, and Alameda. The surrounding trade area is high-traffic and diverse, drawing consistent daily visitation. South Federal Blvd sees 32,929–39,223 vehicles per day within 0.02–0.11 miles of the storefront. The immediate 1-mile radius features heavy consumer spending in food and beverages, and a large Hispanic and Asian demographic base, which aligns strongly with sugarcane product demand. Average household income in the 3-mile radius is $95,554 with a mix of family, young adult, and service-industry workers providing steady daytime and evening transactions.
The space was fully built out in 2023 with newer equipment, fixtures, and finishes. Recipes, branding, trade name, training, and operational handoff are included in the sale. The owners will provide one week of training covering operations, inventory management, scheduling, payroll, quality control, and equipment usage. All intellectual property, menu items, systems, and social media accounts will transfer to the buyer.
This is an ideal opportunity for an operator looking for a niche, high-growth beverage concept with strong brand differentiation and a modern buildout. Additional growth opportunities include delivery platforms, expanded catering, weekend promotions, and selling fresh sugarcane wholesale to local businesses. A hands-on owner could reduce labor costs and increase operational efficiency, especially given the business’ strong foot traffic, demographic alignment, and untapped marketing potential.
Serious inquiries only. Buyer must sign an NDA and provide proof of funds for full financials, and lease information.
