Description
Owner-operated artisan gelato and European pastry shop located along the I-15 corridor in Southwest Riverside County. Established under current ownership for nearly a decade, the business has built a loyal customer base, an outstanding online reputation, and a distinctive niche centered around authentic, scratch-made products.
What separates this business from conventional ice cream retail is that nothing is bought in. Gelato is produced on-site in small batches every other day using imported Italian ingredients and professional Italian gelato production equipment. The signature European baked specialty is also made on-site using a proprietary recipe developed and refined over many years. The complete recipe library, including more than 55 gelato flavors, along with production methods and know-how, transfers with the sale.
Equipment highlights:
Bravo Gelmatic – Gelato MachineNuova Simonelli – Coffee MachineISA – Gelato Display Cases
The store is located in a retail center near schools, offices, and other high-traffic commercial businesses, creating consistent and repeat customer traffic. There is no direct ice cream competition in the immediate area, giving the business a strong niche and brand advantage. Over nearly a decade, the shop has established itself as a recognized destination for artisan gelato and European pastries. The business continues to attract new customers as area foot traffic grows, relying almost entirely on word-of-mouth and organic social media rather than paid advertising.
Operations are straightforward, with the shop open six days per week and until early evening to capture after-dinner traffic. The business is currently operated by two working owners, providing a straightforward owner-operator model.
Transition support is substantial. The seller is offering a generous training period included with the sale. All assets, including furniture, fixtures, equipment with an estimated replacement value of approximately $70,000, and all inventory on hand at the time of sale will transfer to the new owner.
This opportunity is well suited to an owner-operator prepared to work in the shop and comfortable with production hours and hands-on craft production. No prior gelato or pastry experience is required. Comprehensive training, proprietary recipes, and established production methods are included to support a smooth transition. Rather than building a specialty food business from the ground up, a buyer acquires nearly a decade of refined recipes, proven production systems, established supplier relationships, and a recognized local brand.
