MOTIVATED SELLER AND EAGER TO SELL!
Franchise cafe for sale! A charming, locally owned and operated franchise café nestled in the heart of southern Collin County is now on the market. This inviting establishment offers a diverse selection of globally inspired beverages, including matcha, chai, signature and classic coffees, and more, all crafted with a dedication to using real, premium ingredients and concentrates, all made to order. In addition to its tantalizing drinks, the café serves up delectable handcrafted breakfast sandwiches, cakes, lemon bars, and other light fare, appealing to anyone with a penchant for flavorful coffees, teas, pastries, and more. The cafe occupies a 1,607 sq. ft. facility in a busy retail strip center facing the nearby roadway, complete with a drive-thru for convenience.
This café franchise was originally established in 1993, and this franchise expanded to its current location in March 2022. The business was not performing well under the previous owner's complete absentee ownership. Following a change in ownership in December 2023 due to the previous owner's health, the café underwent a revitalization led by the current owner, who brought a wealth of experience from successfully managing an out-of-state location. Through strategic investments by the owner to stabilize the operation, including staff re-training and customer base rebuilding, the business has seen a marked increase in net sales, with a 22% increase over the last 4 months.
Distinguishing itself from competitors through its commitment to quality, the café offers made-to-order food and beverages using premium ingredients. Moreover, catering services further extend its reach into the community. Leveraging a multifaceted marketing approach encompassing in-store promotions, targeted online ads, and local outreach, the café has successfully increased sales, with local marketing initiatives proving particularly fruitful.
Looking ahead, there's substantial potential for growth, with avenues such as extended business hours, enhanced social media engagement, and deeper community partnerships promising increased revenue. Additionally, optimizing wage structures and potentially transitioning to a full-time owner-operator model could further bolster the café's financial health.
Presently, the owner oversees operations on a part-time basis, dedicating 5-20 hours per week to upper management tasks while maintaining a back-office role handling scheduling, item ordering, and payroll. However, with plans to relocate, the owner is seeking a qualified buyer to take the reins and continue the café's upward trajectory. For an aspiring café owner eager to invest in a thriving business poised for success, this opportunity presents an ideal prospect. To learn more about this exciting opportunity, kindly submit a Buyer Registration (if not already completed) along with a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) pertaining to this listing under V-AID.
