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.
