Profitable Hawaii Bakery And Retail, SBA-Eligible For Sale

Hawaii, US
Asking Price:
$450,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
On request
Cash Flow:
$82,037

Established and profitable bakery with a loyal, well-reviewed retail storefront in a high-traffic Hawaii tourist corridor, available for the first time in years as the owner transitions toward retirement.

The business operates from a leased retail location and generates revenue through two complementary channels: a high-volume retail storefront that produces the large majority of sales, plus a recurring commercial/wholesale channel serving established hospitality and food-service accounts. Revenue exceeded $1 million in multiple recent years, with strong gross margins consistently in the 75–80% range.

The opportunity is well suited to an owner-operator or a semi-absentee buyer. The current owner is involved only part-time (roughly 4–5 days per week, a few hours per day), with a capable, long-tenured team running daily operations independently — the business continued to run normally during a recent multi-week owner absence. Turnover is very low, systems and recipes are documented, and the seller will provide 30 days of hands-on training with additional consulting available.

Highlights:

  • Strong, established brand with an excellent online reputation that drives continuous newcustomer discovery.
  • Two revenue channels — a highvolume retail storefront plus a recurring commercial/wholesale account base.
  • Consistently strong gross margins (75–80% range) supported by a disciplined, softwarebased pricing methodology.
  • Longtenured, selfmanaging team; low owner dependency; documented systems.
  • Significant recent capital investment — major refrigeration, freezer, and production equipment replaced or upgraded, all included in the sale.
  • Clean regulatory history; current on all required licensing and health compliance; no litigation.
  • SBA 7(a) eligible with a lender prequalification already in hand; seller financing available for qualified buyers.
  • Identified, lowcapital growth avenues the current parttime owner has not fully pursued (menu expansion, wholesale account growth, catering/special orders, extended hours, and more).


A comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum is available to qualified, financially capable buyers upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Premises Details:

The business was established in 2016 and acquired by its current owner in early 2020 — only weeks before the pandemic disrupted Hawaii's visitor economy. Rather than pull back, the owner used the slower period to invest in the operation: replacing and upgrading major equipment, broadening the product offering, and building the documented systems and pricing discipline the business runs on today. The storefront has operated continuously from the same location since inception and expanded its footprint from one leased unit to two adjacent units to support growing demand.

Over the current ownership, the business has built a strong and durable reputation, cultivated a loyal repeat customer base alongside steady visitor-driven traffic, and added a recurring commercial/wholesale channel to complement retail sales. Just as important, the owner deliberately built the organization to run with minimal owner involvement — a flat structure, cross-trained staff, and very low turnover — positioning it for a clean transition to new ownership. Revenue exceeded $1 million in multiple recent years at consistently strong gross margins.

Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

The current owner is semi-absentee and has intentionally prioritized consistency over expansion ahead of a sale, leaving several growth avenues open to a more active operator — most requiring little or no additional capital:

  • Menu expansion: The landlord has granted written approval to add a madetoorder food component to the storefront menu. The equipment and product base are already in place; implementation requires only recipe development and staff training.
  • Commercial/wholesale growth: The wholesale channel currently contributes a modest share of revenue and is actively rebuilding, including a recent relationship with a premier hospitality operator. Significant room remains to add hotels, resorts, restaurants, specialty retailers, and foodservice accounts using existing production capacity and billing infrastructure.
  • Catering & special orders: A structured catering or specialevents program (corporate, hospitality, weddings/events, institutional) could be layered onto the existing production platform.
  • Extended hours or days: The business is currently closed one day per week and operates on hours built around the current owner's schedule. Expanding hours or days would capture additional revenue at modest incremental labor cost.
  • Formalize referral partnerships: An existing informal network of local shorttermrental hosts refers guests daily. This could be developed into a structured, trackable partnership or gifting program.
  • Online / shipping channel (longer term): Customers already buy product for home freezer storage, and directtoconsumer shipping of specialty baked goods is an established mainland channel. This is a longerterm opportunity requiring investment in fulfillment and coldchain logistics.
Competition / Market:

The business occupies a differentiated product niche with no direct competitor offering the same specialty within its trade area, which has allowed it to build pricing power and a devoted following rather than compete on price. Within the immediate local radius there are only a small number of other bakeries, none of which focus on the same specialty categories — and the business's signature line draws customers from well beyond its immediate area, extending its effective reach.

Several factors reinforce the competitive position. A strong, nationally visible online reputation across major review platforms functions as a continuous, low-cost customer-acquisition engine and drives ongoing organic discovery among visitors planning their trips. Two complementary revenue channels — a high-volume retail storefront plus a recurring commercial/wholesale base — diversify demand. Consistently strong gross margins in the 75–80% range, supported by a disciplined software-based pricing methodology, provide structural protection against input-cost swings. Finally, a prime, high-traffic location with a self-renewing flow of visitor customers, a long-tenured and self-managing team, and documented systems combine to create a durable, defensible market position that is difficult for a new entrant to replicate.
