Below Build Cost, Three Stores | Barry Bagels For Sale

Louisville, Kentucky, US
Asking Price:
$975,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
$506,508
Cash Flow:
$1

Take over 3 built-out Barry Bagels stores already open and running, without spending the year and roughly $1M it took to build them from scratch.

This is a hub-and-spoke Barry Bagels operation in Kentucky under a 55-year-old family brand, all 3 locations opened within a single 12-month stretch. The baking hub is a 1,750 sq ft corner unit built fully to spec, where the bulk of the baking equipment lives and where product is produced for the group. From there, a company delivery van and an in-house logistics setup supply 2 retail spokes: a Prospect location in a longtime bakery-and-coffee space at 1,100 sq ft, and a compact 500 sq ft spoke on one of downtown Louisville's busiest corners, surrounded by luxury lofts, 2 hotels under construction, and major employers relocating onto the block. Running spokes costs a fraction of running the hub, and a small footprint can operate as a Barry Bagels Express. The current owner works under 5 hours a week, with a general manager and strong systems handling daily operations. The included territory covers all of greater Louisville and southern Indiana on an exclusive basis, with first right of refusal for the rest of the state.

Highlights include:

  • Hubandspoke model keeps spoke operating costs low
  • Companyowned delivery van and inhouse logistics
  • GM and systems run daily operations; owner works under 5 hrs/wk
  • Exclusive Louisville and southern Indiana territory
  • First right of refusal on new Kentucky locations
  • Wholesale and coffeeshop partnerships in the works

This may suit a hands-on owner-operator ready to chase wholesale and cafeteria accounts, a multi-unit food operator, or an existing franchisee expanding within a proven brand.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Premises Details:

The sale includes 3 leased locations operating as a single hub-and-spoke group. The hub is a 1,750 sq ft corner unit, essentially new construction built out custom from a concrete shell, and it houses the majority of the baking equipment that supplies the group. A 1,100 sq ft Prospect spoke occupies a space that has served as a bakery and coffee shop for 2 decades, with equipment cleaned up and serviced. A 500 sq ft downtown Louisville spoke sits on a high-traffic corner near luxury lofts, 2 hotels under construction, and incoming corporate offices. Equipment across the hub and newest store is roughly a year old, and a company-owned delivery van supports in-house logistics. All equipment, fixtures, inventory, and the delivery van transfer with the sale. Leases run into 2035 and 2036, each with 2 5-year renewal options, and are assignable to a buyer.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business has absentee ownership.
Expansion Potential:

Several concrete growth levers are already in motion. Wholesale and contract partnerships are in progress with regional coffee shops and a multi-store pet retailer exploring dog treats across its locations, opening a recurring, contract-based revenue line that does not exist today. The brand is nationally approved to serve Sodexo and Gordon Food Service accounts, creating a path into schools, hospitals, hotels, and business parks for an owner who builds an administrative team and pursues those cafeteria contracts. The exclusive territory allows additional spoke locations, including small-footprint Barry Bagels Express units. App adoption, a rewards program, and third-party delivery channels offer further room to grow repeat business.

Other Information

Support & training:

The franchisor provides legal support, handles the majority of marketing and social media, and continually renegotiates vendor pricing on behalf of owners. Corporate is described as very responsive and easy to reach, and can assist with food order approvals, scheduling, and payroll if an owner runs fully absentee. New-location incentives include a reduced royalty ramp during the first 6 months. The seller and franchisor will coordinate a hands-on handoff, expected to take a couple of weeks, with the seller available longer if needed. A general manager and trained team are already in place to support continuity.
