- Market Outlook / Competition
- The current store location is ideal with over 25,000 cars passing a day & most customers are re-occurring and or walk in customers. The current owner thinks the location is capable of producing over $1,000,000+ a year in revenue. The average Great Harvest does around $930,000 in revenue. Bread & cookie stories have historically done well in the Helena, Montana area. Most Helena, MT locals don't know that Great Harvest does more than just bread products and has a full cafe that is open daily with healthy and delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Adding a drive through window or food truck to this business could take this business to the next level. Large EXCLUSIVE territory allows for additional location expansion which could easily double or triple revenues (please ask for more details). Untapped catering potential for weddings & parties through platforms like EZ Cater. More opportunities for revenue growth with Grub-hub, Uber eats & similar mobile services not currently being utilized to their full potential. Opportunities to expand more wholesale account opportunities with event halls & other venues. Another growth opportunity to extended farmers market participation from April-October covering the whole season. Helena population is not aware that Great Harvest makes sandwiches, desserts, cookies, cakes, & other sweet treats & making them aware by other ads sources could really explode the business! So many opportunities to grow this business! This is a rare opportunity & we are looking for the right buyer.
