Mountain View Froyo and Smoothie Cafe (MV) is a yogurt, smoothie, and quiet food establishment located at 222 West Midland Avenue in Woodland Park, Colorado. MV was purchased by the current owner in December of 2022 and has continued to serve the residents of Teller County as well as the many tourists who visit the area. The current owners of MV made small changes in the menu, décor, and other areas, and business revenues have increased substantially since they became owners nearly a year ago. However, the owners have other business interests and have decided that they do not have the time to adequately take care of their other businesses and this store as well.
MV serves several different flavors of yogurt and has four in-the-wall new and ultra-modern dispensers which make it easy for customers to design their treat with one or more flavors. MV also has a portable yogurt machine which they take to events at schools, parks, and other venues such as Main Street events in the area. In addition to yogurt, MV serves different types of hot and cold foods as well as different types of coffees and cold drinks. They are well known for their specialty hot dogs.
The owner says that if a buyer wanted a different type of shop, she would sell the business and equipment, less the froyo machines, for $70,000.00. This would give the new owner the ability to change the store from a smoothie store to a different type of restaurant, retail store, or whatever they desire.
Sales in 2019 exceeded $85,000.00. 2020 happened to be a down year due to COVID. Sales dropped to just over $74,000.00. But 2021 proved to be a banner year with sales coming in about $100,000.00. Sales for 2022 are not exactly known, as the business was sold near the end of the year, but sales were expected to generate about the same revenue as in 2021. 2023, however, has shown a substantial increase in sales as the store is now open all year. Sales are projected to reach $140,000.00 or approximately a 40% increase over 2021.
The facilities are located on the main street in Woodland Park. During the late spring, summer, and early fall, the traffic is backed up for miles with tourists coming into and through town to get to their destination. MV is situated just in the right place in town to capture a lot of customers from this traffic. The building has 1570 square feet of space. The monthly rent is $1100.00. The facility has two garage doors in the front, which are opened in warm weather, providing a great outdoor-type experience. There is parking located at the rear of the building.
The market value of the equipment is $90,000.00 as the yogurt machines are brand new. Inventory value is typically about $15,000.00. Both equipment and inventory are included in the asking price. During the slow season, the store is open from 12 Noon until 6:00 PM daily except for Sundays when they open at 12:30 PM. During the busy season, they are open from 11:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Three part-time employees provide the ultimate in service.
The asking price is $120,000.00 and the owner is interested in reviewing any reasonable offers. Any interested parties should contact the business broker and owner of American Business Brokers and Consultants
