This is probably the best coffee shop on the for-sale market right now. This coffee shop does about a million dollars in annual sales. There is even a strong tangible potential to push these sales to well over a million dollars annually.
It has absentee owners; they actually live in another state. This coffee shop is 7 years established, with a loyal customer base already built up for a new owner to be making solid sales from day one.
This location is in Whatcom County near a major college, in the downtown area, so there is lots of customer base for now and for the foreseeable future. And with the college so close, you have a steady stream of young college students for employees or managers when needed.
On the inside of this coffee shop, the décor and ambiance are clean, bright, and very inviting. It has a 4,700 sq. ft. open floor plan. This is a perfect setup for live entertainment, karaoke, or comedy nights. This coffee shop closes at 4 PM every day (There are NO evening dollars being made).
But there are so many other ways here to make more sales. This is a very event-friendly space, and the owner does host private and corporate events here once or twice a month. It's very good money, but hey, it could be a lot better ($$$) with an owner-operator in place on a daily basis who was actively pursuing these event dollars.
To add to this, this owner does already offer wine and beer and actually has 14 taps in excellent condition. Currently not offering this to the live events, private parties, and closing at 4 PM is surely leaving profits outside the front door.
This has a winning game plan in place as good or better than many franchises. The seller is willing to train the buyer on all aspects of this business; the new owner just has to follow the profitable path the seller has paved for them. And with these sales, you will have this investment paid off in just a few short years.
This is an especially compelling opportunity for a hands-on buyer who can focus on daily operations, marketing, and events.
