Description
The brand has built a strong national following through its premium product, rotating specialty menu, and powerful social media presence. Customers line up for the weekly flavor drops, creating consistent traffic and repeat business. These locations benefit from that brand momentum while operating within a proven franchise system that provides structure, marketing support, and operational guidance.
This is not a startup or turnaround situation. The hard work of site selection, buildout, hiring, and brand establishment has already been done. A buyer steps into two functioning stores with trained teams in place and established customer bases.
The bundle structure offers immediate scale and efficiency, making this a compelling opportunity for a current franchise operator looking to expand, or an owner-operator seeking entry into a strong national concept with built-in demand.
For confidential inquiries, please contact Cleveland's Leading Business Broker, Tom Rink, of Transworld Business Advisors Cleveland Metro.
While both locations are established and currently cash flowing, there remains meaningful opportunity for continued growth under focused ownership.
Additional upside may be realized through increased local marketing initiatives, deeper community engagement, and expanded catering and bulk order programs. The brand’s rotating menu model and strong social media presence create recurring customer traffic, but proactive outreach to schools, businesses, and event planners can further expand revenue streams.
Operational efficiencies may also be enhanced through tighter labor management, cost controls, and optimized scheduling, particularly for an experienced multi-unit operator. For an owner-operator, hands-on involvement could improve margins beyond current performance.
The two-location bundle structure provides immediate scale, allowing for shared management oversight, staffing flexibility, and coordinated local marketing efforts across both stores.
As the brand continues to expand nationally and build consumer awareness, these established locations are positioned to benefit from ongoing system-wide marketing and brand momentum.

Established High Profit Healthy Food Opportunity
$ 1,500,000
Rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally profitable, privately owned healthy fast-casual restaurant featuring a proven, turnkey operating model and significant growth potential. Unlike a franchise, this independent concept benefits from operational flexibility, no royalty fees, and strong unit-level economics. The business specializes in fresh, made-to-order salads, wraps, subs, and smoothies, serving the rapidly growing healthy dining market. Approximately 90% of sales are generated through takeout and third-party delivery, creating a streamlined operation with lower labor requirements, reduced overhead, and simplified management. With no grills, flyers, or extensive cooking equipment, the concept enjoys lower operating costs and easier staffing than many traditional restaurant models. The restaurant has established strong brand recognition, a loyal customer base, and a scalable model that can be expanded into additional communities or developed into a regional or national franchise system. Notably, this independent restaurant generates annual unit volume and profitability metrics that compare favorably with many well-known healthy fast-casual franchise concepts, demonstrating the strength of the brand, operating model, and customer demand. The owner is retiring, creating a rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, healthy dining concept with proven success and substantial expansion potential.

$ 56,000
Fantastic opportunity to own and operate a Le Macaron French Pastries Food truck well below the typical cost of entry.

Young Chef’s Academy with 30% Membership Growth - Franchise!
$ 139,900
Step into ownership of a well-established, nationally supported culinary education business that blends creativity, community engagement, and recurring revenue. This children’s enrichment concept delivers hands-on cooking classes, camps, birthday parties, field trips, and special events, creating multiple income streams and strong customer retention. The business has experienced approximately 30% growth in membership over the past year, demonstrating increasing demand and a loyal, expanding customer base. With recurring memberships, seasonal programs, and event-based revenue, the model provides both stability and scalability. Backed by a recognized franchise system, the operation benefits from structured curriculum, training, and ongoing support, while still allowing for local market flexibility and community connection. The facility is fully equipped with professional kitchen classrooms and event space, and includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, and inventory. A trained team is already in place, enabling a smooth transition for a new owner. Seller financing is available for up to 25% of the purchase price, offering an attractive structure for qualified buyers and reducing upfront capital requirements. This is an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator, family buyer, or entrepreneur seeking a purpose-driven business in the growing children’s enrichment sector. Transworld Business Advisors of Cleveland Metro | Akron | Canton is the leading and best business broker in Cleveland, providing confidential business sales, M&A advisory, valuations, franchise consulting, and exit planning. Backed by the world’s largest business brokerage network, we help owners sell with confidence and buyers acquire the right opportunities. #ClevelandBusinessBroker #BusinessForSale #SellMyBusiness #BuyABusiness #BusinessValuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #ExitPlanning #FranchiseResales #OhioBusinessBroker This business is well positioned for growth, with several clear avenues for expansion that a new owner could pursue. Memberships represent the largest and most stable source of revenue, and there is strong opportunity to increase weekday programming. By adding classes during school hours, the business could capture homeschool families, preschool-age children, and parents with flexible schedules who are seeking enrichment activities outside the standard afterschool model. Seasonal camps are another proven area for expansion. Demand during school breaks and summer sessions has remained consistently strong, and adding more camp offerings or introducing new themes would allow the business to reach more families and increase repeat participation. Workshops and special events also provide an avenue to grow, as themed cooking experiences and cultural classes attract both new and returning customers. Partnerships with schools, scout troops, and community organizations already contribute steady income, but these relationships could be expanded through additional outreach and exclusive group programs. Building on these connections would not only increase group bookings but also serve as an effective pipeline for ongoing memberships and event reservations. There is also potential to extend the reach of the business beyond the physical location. Offering online or hybrid cooking experiences would align with broader industry trends in digital enrichment and allow families outside the immediate area to participate. At the same time, a stronger marketing presence through targeted campaigns, community partnerships, and referral incentives could increase brand visibility and bring in new clients. With multiple revenue streams already in place and a growing market for children’s enrichment, the business offers a buyer the chance to expand both in scale and in scope. The next stage of growth can come from building deeper community ties, broadening program offerings, and exploring new delivery formats that meet the needs of modern families. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/clevelandmetro/listings/Young-Chef’s-Academy-with-30-Membership-Growth-Franchise-

Nationally Recognized Cookie Franchise – 2 Established Units
Call/Email
This listing represents the opportunity to acquire two established locations of a nationally recognized gourmet cookie franchise, offered together as a bundle. Both stores are fully operational, staffed, and generating revenue today. The brand has built a strong national following through its premium product, rotating specialty menu, and powerful social media presence. Customers line up for the weekly flavor drops, creating consistent traffic and repeat business. These locations benefit from that brand momentum while operating within a proven franchise system that provides structure, marketing support, and operational guidance. This is not a startup or turnaround situation. The hard work of site selection, buildout, hiring, and brand establishment has already been done. A buyer steps into two functioning stores with trained teams in place and established customer bases. The bundle structure offers immediate scale and efficiency, making this a compelling opportunity for a current franchise operator looking to expand, or an owner-operator seeking entry into a strong national concept with built-in demand. For confidential inquiries, please contact Cleveland's Leading Business Broker, Tom Rink, of Transworld Business Advisors Cleveland Metro. While both locations are established and currently cash flowing, there remains meaningful opportunity for continued growth under focused ownership. Additional upside may be realized through increased local marketing initiatives, deeper community engagement, and expanded catering and bulk order programs. The brand’s rotating menu model and strong social media presence create recurring customer traffic, but proactive outreach to schools, businesses, and event planners can further expand revenue streams. Operational efficiencies may also be enhanced through tighter labor management, cost controls, and optimized scheduling, particularly for an experienced multi-unit operator. For an owner-operator, hands-on involvement could improve margins beyond current performance. The two-location bundle structure provides immediate scale, allowing for shared management oversight, staffing flexibility, and coordinated local marketing efforts across both stores. As the brand continues to expand nationally and build consumer awareness, these established locations are positioned to benefit from ongoing system-wide marketing and brand momentum. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/clevelandmetro/listings/Nationally-Recognized-Cookie-Franchise-–-2-Established-Units

Turnkey Coffee House - Seller Financing Available
$ 173,000
This independent specialty café has served its Lakewood, Ohio neighborhood since 2019, building a loyal following around high-quality coffee, fresh-baked pastries and croissants, and a full breakfast and lunch menu. Operating seven days a week from a well-located, approximately 1,530 square-foot space, the business supports dine-in, takeout, and third-party delivery, driving predictable daily traffic and streamlined operations. The café's warm, comfortable atmosphere has made it a go-to spot for local professionals, students, remote workers, and families alike, supporting steady repeat business and strong word-of-mouth. With a diversified, high-margin menu spanning beverages, bakery items, made-to-order crepes, sandwiches, and retail coffee, the business is not reliant on any single revenue stream. In 2025, the business generated $473,196 in gross sales with Seller's Discretionary Earnings of $47,374. It is being offered at an asking price of $173,000, with seller financing available up to $50,000 for qualified buyers — a true turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking a stable, cash-flowing business with clear, achievable upside. The business operates as a stable, established café with a loyal customer base and efficient day-to-day operations, and the opportunities below represent optional levers rather than requirements for continued success. On the marketing and brand visibility side, a new owner could increase social media and digital engagement, pursue targeted promotions with nearby offices and residential communities, and raise visibility of catering and group-order offerings. There is meaningful room to grow catering and off-premise sales by expanding catering for offices, meetings, and local events, and by developing repeat catering relationships with nearby businesses. Beyond that, menu and product expansion — additional food or beverage items, expanded grab-and-go selections, and broader retail sales of packaged coffee or branded merchandise — offers another avenue for incremental revenue. The business also stands to benefit from local demand drivers, including rising customer traffic anticipated from nearby residential development currently under construction, plus continued daytime demand from surrounding offices. Finally, operational enhancements such as extended or optimized hours based on traffic patterns, and new customer loyalty or retention programs, could further strengthen performance. A new owner can pursue any of these selectively, without needing to change a business model that already performs well. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/clevelandmetro/listings/Turnkey-Coffee-House-Seller-Financing-Available
