Description
The owner currently oversees all key aspects of the operation, including ordering, hiring, training, payroll, and daily management. She also contributes to production and customer service as a baker, cake decorator, and in sales, ensuring consistent product quality and customer experience.
A key advantage of this business is access to proprietary recipes that differentiate its products from other bakeries and competitors, allowing for a consistent and recognizable offering while still leaving room for additional menu items.
Products are sold through storefront walk-ins, delivery platforms, and catering, creating multiple revenue streams. There is clear opportunity for growth, particularly by expanding the ice cream segment with items such as shakes, sundaes, and specialty combinations, as well as introducing beverage offerings to increase average ticket size. A new owner could also further develop catering and online ordering channels and build on existing marketing efforts.
This opportunity is ideal for an owner-operator or an existing operator looking to expand within the dessert or food service space. This business with 9 years of history, marketing and clientele is being priced the same as the investment to open a new franchise location per the franchisor's FDD. The business is being offered for sale as the owner is retiring.

Premium Cookie Franchise – Cook County, Northwest Suburbs
$ 290,000
This brand-new Crave Cookies franchise presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out location in one of the nation’s fastest-growing gourmet dessert brands before it officially opens. Located in the Northwest Suburbs of Cook County, this shop is scheduled to open by the end of March and features a high-end, modern buildout with premium finishes, new equipment, and an efficient operational layout designed for high-volume service. Crave Cookies is widely recognized for its freshly baked oversized gourmet cookies, rotating weekly flavor drops, and strong social media presence that drives consistent customer excitement and brand loyalty. As the brand continues expanding across the United States, average unit sales have been trending around $800,000 annually, highlighting the strong demand behind the concept. The current owners have invested significant time and capital into this location and have spared no expense throughout the buildout process. A new owner will benefit from stepping into a fully completed franchise location without having to navigate the typical challenges of opening a new concept, including construction delays, permit approvals, inspections, equipment procurement, and franchise onboarding requirements. This opportunity allows a buyer to acquire a turnkey location at a price significantly lower than the cost required to build a new store from scratch today. Due to personal circumstances, the owners have made the difficult decision to sell prior to opening, creating a unique opportunity for an entrepreneur or owner-operator to take over a fully prepared location and launch operations immediately. Because the location has not yet opened, a new owner will have the advantage of launching the business with a clean slate and significant early growth potential. With a strong national brand, modern buildout, and operational infrastructure already in place, the next owner can focus entirely on driving revenue and establishing the location within the local community. Opportunities for growth include building strong community engagement through local school partnerships, neighborhood events, and social media marketing campaigns designed to build early brand awareness. Additional revenue can be generated through catering orders, corporate gifting, party packages, and partnerships with nearby offices and event planners. Seasonal promotions, holiday gift boxes, and branded merchandise can further increase average ticket size and customer frequency. With an engaged owner and strong local marketing execution, this location has the potential to quickly establish itself as a top-performing store within the franchise system. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/stcharles/listings/Premium-Cookie-Franchise-–-Cook-County-Northwest-Suburbs

Two Fully Operational Bubble Tea Shops. One Smart Acquisition.
$ 110,000
This is a multi-unit acquisition with real synergies. Both locations are turnkey and revenue-ready from day one. Because there are brand new modern interiors - you will not have to spend money on your space for YEARS. All the furniture, fixtures, and brand assets included, the build outs are worth over $350,000 alone. There is fully trained staff in place. You can walk in and start serving with no downtime and no build-out headaches! Shared purchasing power lowers costs. Coordinated staffing increases flexibility. Unified marketing stretches further. Two locations in the same market creates a footprint that a single shop cannot match. Each shop sits in a high-traffic retail corridor with strong visibility and consistent daily volume. Foot traffic flows steadily from open to close. The customer base is already established at both locations. Regulars come back. Neither location requires heavy owner involvement, but could benefit from some owner attention. A hands-on operator who invests in local marketing could unlock immediate upside at both locations. You can focus on building traffic and marketing and making community connections that will grow the revenues. The franchisor is flexible, supportive, and easy to work with. This fits a first-time buyer ready to enter food and beverage with a strong foundation. It also fits an experienced operator looking to scale efficiently without the cost and complexity of a new build. The seller is motivated and the price reflects that. Make a simple all-cash offer and be the owner in days! The specialty beverage market is growing fast, driven by consumer demand for creative flavors, memorable experiences, and digital convenience. Both locations sit on a strong foundation with real room to scale. On the digital side, online ordering systems and loyalty rewards programs are already in place to drive repeat visits. Social media presence can be built through local campaigns, influencer collaborations, and limited-time promotions. Seasonal flavor drops and community-driven content add organic engagement without heavy ad spend. Operationally, the growth levers are straightforward. Third-party delivery partnerships and self-serve kiosks increase order volume with minimal added labor. Catering opportunities with schools, offices, and local events open a revenue channel that most single-unit shops never tap. New product lines like branded merch, DIY bubble tea kits, or dessert pairings add margin without complicating operations. Extended hours and themed drink nights attract new customer segments while keeping regulars engaged. Owning two locations amplifies every one of these strategies, with expansion potential. One marketing push covers two shops. One catering client feeds two kitchens. One seasonal campaign builds two customer bases. The multi-unit structure turns good ideas into bigger returns. With proven demand, a recognizable brand, and two established storefronts, this package is built to grow. https://tworld.com/locations/Washington/vancouver/listings/Two-Fully-Operational-Bubble-Tea-Shops-One-Smart-Acquisition-
