Specialty Gluten-Free Bakery in Southern California
$ 150,000
CF : $ 116,752
A rare chance to acquire a thriving specialty bakery with both wholesale and retail revenue streams. Known for its clean-label, gluten-free, and plant-based baked goods, the business has built a loyal following in the health-conscious food market. The facility operates under a California Processed Food Registration (PFR) license, allowing manufacturing, packaging, and distribution well beyond retail sales. Wholesale contracts are already in place, complemented by retail presence and strong e-commerce systems with nationwide shipping. A seasoned team runs day-to-day operations (head baker, assistants, driver, marketing support), while the owner spends ~10 hours/week on oversight and client relationships. This structure offers a smooth transition and the option for semi-absentee ownership. Growth opportunities include: expanding wholesale distribution to nationwide sales in retail stores, scaling online sales, and leveraging the booming demand for gluten-free, clean-ingredient foods. This turnkey operation is ideal for an industry operator or entrepreneur seeking a fast-growing niche in the baked goods market.

Escondido, California
High-Performing Smoothie Franchise – $510K Gross, $240K+ Net, Prime Regional Mall
$ 545,000
CF : $ 240,000
This is a rare chance to acquire a high-performing, nationally branded smoothie franchise located in one of North County San Diego’s busiest regional malls. With two major national retailers directly in front of the store, this location enjoys heavy daily foot traffic and strong visibility. The same owner has operated this business successfully for 23 years, making it one of the most stable and proven franchise units in the region. Business Overview This turn-key smoothie franchise offers a simple menu, clean operations, and strong brand support. The owner typically works 10AM–2PM, and the business is currently staffed with 3 part-time employees. If both owners work, no weekday staff is needed. The store is open 355 days per year, closing only three days annually. The mall is bringing in new entertainment uses such as an arcade and boiling-style restaurant, expected to increase foot traffic even further. Financial Summary (2022–2024) Gross Revenue: • Reported: $460K–$470K • Actual: ~$510K/year Net Income (incl. owner payroll): • 2022: $258,500 • 2023: $216,600 • 2024: $253,000 Average Net: ~$240K+ annually Additional Cash: ~$120/day Books are clean, with 80% credit-card sales. Lease & Rent • Current Rent: ~$9,600/month (includes storage + kiosk) • Lease Term Remaining: 2.5 years (no option) • Rent originally $6,000 in 2003 The store has maintained strong profitability despite rent increases due to consistent, high-volume traffic. Franchise Information • Franchise fee: 7% • Strong brand recognition • Simple training and operations • Known as one of the top-performing units in the San Diego region Why This Location Stands Out • 23 years same owner – extremely stable • $510K actual gross revenue • ~$240K+ net income • Anchor stores directly in front • Low staffing requirements • Proven, clean financials • New mall tenants expected to increase sales Ideal for owner-operators or semi-absentee buyers seeking a profitable, reliable franchise with long history and predictable cash flow.

Oceanside, California
Profitable Oceanside Asian & Sushi Restaurant – $1.1M Gross, Long Lease, Easy Operation, Staff 10+ Years
$ 399,000
CF : $ 160,000
Long-established Asian & Sushi restaurant located in the Oceanside trade area. With 25 years of continuous operation, this restaurant is a proven performer with stable sales, loyal customers, and an experienced team that has been with the business for a decade or more. The current owner has operated the restaurant for approximately 2.5 years and is selling solely because the commute is too far, not due to performance. This makes it an ideal opportunity for a new owner seeking a turnkey operation with strong fundamentals already in place. Business Highlights: Asking Price: $399,000 2024 Gross Revenue: $1,102,000 Net Income: Estimated $130,000 to $180,000 Size: 3,600 sq. ft. functional layout Lease: Approximately 10 years remaining – rare long-term security Rent + CAM: $16,500/month Established: Since 2000 – 25 years serving the community Employees: Many with 10+ years of tenure Staffing: • 2 Full-Time Sushi Chefs • 2 Full-Time Servers + 1 Part-Time • Kitchen: 1 Full-Time + 3 Part-Time • Total Staff: 8–9 Why This Restaurant Stands Out Strong six-figure net income with consistent multi-year sales. Long operating history provides immediate trust and stability. Very easy to operate with a trained and loyal staff that allows for a seamless transition. Excellent Oceanside location in a high-traffic corridor with strong residential and commercial activity. Turnkey opportunity suitable for both owner-operators and absentee owners with a manager. Reason for Sale Owner lives too far away. Performance and team are solid. Ideal Buyer Experienced operator expanding their portfolio Sushi or Asian cuisine operator wanting a stable footprint First-time buyers seeking a business with predictable income Semi-absentee or absentee investors with management experience Financials, lease summary, and equipment list available upon request. Buyer must be qualified and willing to sign an NDA for full disclosure.
