Bring your own brand to an established bakery with an equipped storefront, a loyal walk-in customer base, and room to grow.
Located in a desirable Lake Forest trade area in Central Orange County, this specialty dessert and bakery business offers an opportunity for a baker ready to open a storefront or an existing operator looking to expand.
The fully operational shop occupies approximately 1,032 square feet in a shopping center with a prominent street-facing anchor. A spacious adjacent patio with tables and umbrellas provides an inviting place for customers to gather and enjoy their purchases.
Inside, custom floor-to-ceiling kitchen storage maximizes usable space and supports efficient production, organized inventory, and retail presentation. Furniture, fixtures, equipment, and operating assets are included, providing a ready foundation for a buyer to introduce their own brand.
Established Sales and Seasonal Demand:
Approximately 80% of current revenue comes from walk-in retail sales, with the remaining 20% generated by custom orders. This mix combines everyday retail activity with opportunities to serve celebrations and special occasions.
Seasonal online preorders for major holidays are established, bringing local regulars back throughout the year for larger holiday orders. These occasions build on everyday customer relationships and create repeat business as customers turn to the bakery for their celebrations and gatherings.
Opportunities for Growth:
A new owner could build on the existing operation through:
* Expand corporate gifting and employee appreciation programs by increasing relationships with the many nearby corporate offices and businesses.
* School partnerships and fundraising initiatives
* Catering, celebrations, and special events
* Expanded custom orders and holiday preorder campaigns
* Broader online ordering and third-party delivery
* Increase wedding and large event catering by partnering with local venues and catering companies to be put on preferred vendor lists (owner had this in place pre-COVID and it was highly successful)
* Increase Digital marketing and customer retention programs
The business currently does not use third-party delivery platforms, leaving an additional channel for a buyer to explore.
