Description
The financial profile is clean. Gross margins run approximately 50%, with no lease obligations, no debt, and no employees on payroll. The cash-friendly sales model and low fixed overhead make this a straightforward owner-operator or family-run business with minimal startup friction for a new owner.
Equipment is in place, branding is established, and repeat customers and referral-based bookings provide a recurring revenue base. The business includes a four-week training period and is being sold due to the current owner's retirement.
A new owner with the capacity to expand event bookings or deploy additional carts into simultaneous events, or rent out the mobile carts would have room to scale beyond current revenue levels in an active Southern California market.

Ice Cream Manufacturer & Wholesale
$ 575,000
CF : $ 211,000
HIGHLIGHTS Premium wholesale gelato and sorbet manufacturer, over 30 years in continuous operation. Three-time sofi Award winner. Approximately 110 active wholesale accounts. Five-day-per-week production. Owner involvement is approximately five hours per week; a General Manager runs day-to-day operations and serves as the primary customer contact. PRODUCTS Wholesale only. Products are made with premium ingredients, with limited exceptions where a specific flavor requires otherwise. Formerly CCOF Certified Organic and eligible for re-certification. Packaging ranges from pints to large round containers. CUSTOMERS AND DISTRIBUTION Approximately 110 active accounts: • Restaurants — 58% • Distributors — 22% • Scoop Shops — 15% • Grocery Stores — 3% • Caterers — minimal Several customer relationships exceed 20 years, notable in a foodservice sector where chef turnover is high and distributors switch vendors over fractions of a margin point. Current geography covers California, Reno, and Las Vegas. One full-time delivery driver services a direct-delivery territory spanning Monterey, Napa, and Sacramento. FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT Approximately 2,500 square feet, comprising office suite, production room, and storage. Recent capital investment includes a Tetra Pak Continuous Freezer S700 with time-elapse fill valve unit, installed 2025. The buyer faces no material deferred capital expenditure on primary production equipment. TEAM Four employees. The General Manager is the primary customer contact and public face of the business. The production manager has more than 25 years of tenure with the company. Employee retention at this level is unusual in specialty food manufacturing and materially reduces transition risk for a new owner. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE The brand sits firmly in the premium tier. The flagship product is gelato-style ice cream with a density most manufacturers will not produce, because removing air raises cost per unit and compresses margin. Few regional competitors make this style at this quality level. Three sofi Awards provide independent third-party validation of the quality claim. MARKETING Current marketing concentrates on the existing customer base, introducing new seasonal flavors through a monthly newsletter, Instagram, Facebook, and the company website. Direct sales outreach, which generated meaningful new-customer growth during periods of greater owner involvement, is currently an underused channel. GROWTH POTENTIAL Stable customer base and long-standing reputation with clear, unexercised growth levers: • Renewed direct sales outreach to new foodservice accounts • Digital advertising, including Google Ads • Geographic expansion beyond the current California and Nevada footprint • Shifting channel mix toward direct foodservice sales, which carry higher margin than distributor sales • Organic re-certification, opening retail and institutional channels that require it REASON FOR SELLING The owner is planning for retirement and is seeking an orderly transition to a buyer who will maintain the brand's quality standards. RECOMMENDED BUYER SKILLS Experience in food production, purchasing, sales, and accounting. Sales and marketing are the primary growth levers.
