Description
The business is currently operated under a conservative, core model that reflects the earnings profile of a hands-on owner-operator. Potential growth opportunities include extending operating hours during peak seasons, improving labor efficiency through direct owner involvement, and increasing local mall-based marketing initiatives.
Additional upside exists through catering and event-based sales, which are not included in the current financials, as well as potential future multi-unit expansion for a qualified franchisee. These opportunities are optional and not required to achieve the presented cash flow.

Turnkey Dessert & Specialty Beverage Concept – Total Asset Sale
$ 65,000
*** NOT SBA QUALIFIED*** This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, ready-to-open dessert and specialty food business for approximately half the market value of its furniture, fixtures, equipment, and improvements. The business was fully prepped to launch but never opened due to the owner's time constraints and health issues. A new owner can hit the ground running within a few weeks of purchase. The Concept & Location The business model brings "Fair food year round" alongside highly popular "dirty" sodas and frozen yogurt The menu concept features popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, frozen bananas, and funnel cakes It is located in a highly trafficked shopping area, positioned with a Target in the back and a Walmart across the street The space is approximately 1400 square feet, featuring about 700 square feet of retail space in the front, a preparation area in the back, men's and women's bathrooms, and a small office. The building plaza hosts 9 other active, open businesses Competitors like Crumble Cookies and Bruster's Ice Cream are nearby, but none offer the unique combination of dirty sodas, dirty popcorn, or year-round fair foods. Assets & Equipment Included The seller has an estimated "all-in" investment of approximately $133,700, which includes around $94,000 in equipment, $7,500 in product and supplies, and $2,200 in furniture. This total asset sale includes: Frozen Yogurt Machines: 7 Taylor 3-serve free-standing machines (new retail value is $20,000 each). Four are working units, one is usable but needs repair, and two are for parts. Brand New Concession Equipment: Includes a funnel cake fryer ($1,300), cotton candy maker ($500), snow cone maker ($400), popcorn maker ($300), waffle cone maker ($200), and an ice machine ($300). Commercial Refrigeration: 2 commercial refrigerators ($10,000), a standing 2-door freezer ($7,000), an 8-tub ice cream scoop-out freezer ($5,000), and a deep freezer ($1,000). Furniture & Fixtures: 6 small round tables, 20 steel chairs, lighting, and a stainless steel prep table. Supplies & Inventory: Approximately $7,500 in current product and supplies. Currently, supplies are sourced online and from the Restaurant Depot in Charleston. Branding, Marketing & Systems Comes complete with established branding, including the logo, recipes, order board, promotional banner, and postcards. Includes a developed but not-yet-live website domain, Thesweettoothspot.com. A FoodHub POS system is available for the new owner to install and utilize. Extensive facility improvements have already been completed, including a $2,500 deep cleaning, painted floors, and electrical deposits. Growth Potential & Lease Details The space is ready for a new owner to negotiate a fresh lease with Collier Property Management. The business has zero known liens or previous litigation. Expansion opportunities exist to add a mobile food trailer for private events, parties, and corporate catering. Mobile Expansion: There is a strong avenue for growth by purchasing a mobile food cart or trailer to cater private parties, corporate events, and neighborhood gatherings directly. Multi-Unit Scaling: The business model was created with the explicit intention of scaling to a second location once the flagship store proves successful. Proven Location Track Record: The retail space successfully operated as a frozen yogurt shop for 10 years prior to this concept. Reintroducing frozen yogurt alongside a unique specialty menu provides a strong foundation for immediate traction. Facility Optimization: A new owner could drive additional engagement by extending the front counter area, allowing items like funnel cakes—which are currently planned for back-room preparation—to be made in full view of the customers. Untapped Concepts: The current owner has several additional unexecuted product ideas and concepts that a well-capitalized buyer could easily implement. https://tworld.com/locations/South-Carolina/coastalsc/listings/Turnkey-Dessert-Specialty-Beverage-Concept-–-Total-Asset-Sale
