PREMIER DESTINATION COASTAL COFFEE PORTFOLIO (2 SHOPS)
Established Dual-Location Neighborhood Hub & Community Staple Santa Cruz County, California
Offered at: $250,000 Includes Inventory, Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment, Tradename, Website, and Social Media
An exceptional opportunity has arrived to acquire a well-established, locally loved coffee shop operation with two prime locations in Santa Cruz County. This business has been a community staple for over three decades, widely recognized for its welcoming atmosphere, loyal customer base, and strong neighborhood presence. The business has built nearly 30 years of authentic brand equity without reliance on heavy advertising, successfully cultivating a "cult following" that spans generations.
Operating as a true community hub, both locations reinforce this creative identity by regularly showcasing local artwork, making them premier destinations for residents and visitors alike. This is a turnkey entry into the thriving coastal coffee market, supported by established systems and a seasoned team.
Key Highlights:
•Two Strategic Locations: Features two high-traffic sites: a flagship in a major regional shopping center and a second storefront in a bustling neighborhood corridor.
•Approachable & High-Demand Menu: Features coffee, espresso, smoothies, breakfast items, and baked goods, with successfully integrated third-party delivery platforms.
•Stable Infrastructure: Sale includes all specialized machinery, furniture, fixtures, and operational equipment valued at approximately $20,000.
•Fixed Lease Stability: Prime anchor-center positioning with a fixed lease term at the flagship location secured through 2027.
Business Details:
•Established: Operating continuously since 1994.
•Location: Santa Cruz County
•Business Model: Dual-location retail coffee storefronts with high-volume delivery integration.
•Inventory: Valued at approximately $5,000.
•Operating Hours: Established seasonal hours are in place to maximize coastal foot traffic year-round.
Upside & Opportunity:
This acquisition is perfectly suited for an owner-operator or a strategic buyer looking to leverage an iconic brand with massive untapped potential. While the business currently thrives as a retail operation, there is significant upside in developing wholesale and retail distribution channels.
After over 30 years of successful leadership, the current owner is preparing for retirement, offering a stable and well-regarded foundation for a fluid transition. A new owner can capitalize on existing community loyalty while exploring these growth initiatives to further leverage these high-visibility locations and the legendary brand name.
