For Sale: Historical European Bakery - RE Included - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This historied, old-world European bakery holds a unique position as a cornerstone in the heart of a Switzerland-inspired tourism center. Based in America, the bakery has garnered steadfast support from locals and has become a magnet for tourists from around the world, drawn in by its award-winning specialty cookies, breads, pastries and donuts - adding an extra layer of charm to its offerings. A variety of cookies make up a sizable portion of annual sales and provide the highest profit margin item among the product offerings.

This robust business enjoyed increased sales during COVID, and continues to expand with impressive year over year growth - proof that its long existence in its original building is a staple of the community. Talented staff take responsibility for the brand, sales, and daily operations, with the owner focusing on general oversight, community involvement, and growth initiatives. The Seller has created a business that distinguishes itself with its uniquely high level of service, superior bakery products, turning casual and curious customers into life-long devotees.

The Seller also has another business where she wants to shift her focus, and so she is looking for the right buyer to take what she has built and grow it to the next level. Confidentiality is a concern for the Seller as she seeks just the right buyer, and so the location information provided in the ad is that of the broker, and not of the Business. Business location and name will be shared once a qualified Buyer prospect is vetted.

NDA is required to receive comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners.
