Description
Crave Cookies is widely recognized for its freshly baked, oversized gourmet cookies, rotating weekly flavor drops, and strong social media presence that continues to drive consistent customer traffic and brand loyalty. As the brand expands across the U.S., average unit sales have been trending around $800,000 annually, highlighting the strength and demand behind the concept.
Located in a high-traffic power strip center in DuPage County, the business benefits from strong visibility, steady daily traffic, and complementary neighboring retailers that support consistent customer flow. The Chicagoland market has seen significant franchise demand, making opportunities like this increasingly limited.
This location is fully operational, staffed, and already building sales momentum, allowing a new owner to bypass the lengthy buildout period and substantial startup costs typically required for a new franchise opening. Ideal for an owner-operator or entrepreneur seeking a modern, fully functioning dessert franchise backed by a rapidly growing national brand.
As a newer location, this business is still in the early stages of its growth cycle and offers substantial upside for a hands-on owner or motivated operator. With a strong national brand, modern buildout, and operational foundation already in place, the next phase of growth can be driven through targeted local execution and expanded revenue channels.
A new owner can increase sales by developing catering and corporate accounts, partnering with nearby offices, schools, and event planners to supply cookies for meetings, celebrations, and special events. Additional upside exists through branded merchandise, gift boxes, and seasonal promotions, which can significantly boost average ticket size during holidays and peak gifting periods.
Further growth can be achieved by strengthening community engagement through school partnerships, local events, and strategic social media marketing designed to drive repeat customers and brand awareness. With focused marketing and active local involvement, this location has the potential to scale quickly and become a leading performer within the franchise system.

Own a piece of Tradition: Charming Amish Country Grocery and Deli
$ 550,000
This is a rare opportunity to acquire both a highly profitable business and its underlying commercial real estate in the heart of Pinellas County. This established grocery and deli is a celebrated community staple and a must-visit destination for regional tourists. Known for its authentic bulk foods, premium sliced meats, custom cheeses, and fresh baked goods, the business delivers consistent, year-round revenue. The sale includes the fully equipped, well-maintained building, offering the buyer long-term security, zero leasing hurdles, and an immediate return on investment. Modernize & Expand Digital Revenue. Launch an E-Commerce Platform: Build an online storefront to ship non-perishable Amish specialties, bulk foods, gift baskets, and branded merchandise nationwide. Implement On-Demand Delivery: Partner with services like Instacart, UberEats, or Door Dash to offer local deli delivery to the densely populated Pinellas County market. Introduce a Digital Loyalty Program: Replace traditional punch cards with an app-based rewards system to capture customer data and drive repeat weekday foot traffic. Optimize and Expand the Physical Space. Create more Outdoor Dining Space: Utilize the property lot to build a covered patio or pavilion with picnic tables, allowing customers to eat deli sandwiches on-site and increasing the average transaction size. Extend Operational Hours: The store historically maintains traditional, shorter hours. Opening on Sundays or extending evening hours into dinner time would capture an entirely new commuter customer segment. Introduce a Coffee & Espresso Bar: Add a premium, rustic coffee station serving locally roasted brews alongside the store's famous fresh morning baked goods. https://tworld.com/locations/Florida/tampa/listings/Own-a-piece-of-Tradition:-Charming-Amish-Country-Grocery-and-Deli
