Pizza
Established Take-and-Bake Pizza Business with Strong Brand
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire an established Papa Murphy’s take-and-bake pizza franchise serving the greater East Bay market with strong brand recognition, repeat customer traffic, and proven operational systems already in place. This is a turnkey, semi-absentee opportunity ideal for an owner-operator or multi-unit restaurant group looking to step into a nationally recognized franchise with streamlined day-to-day operations.
Established in 2012, this well-known franchise location has built a loyal local following by offering fresh take-and-bake pizzas, stuffed pizzas, salads, sides, desserts, and convenient family meal solutions. The business benefits from Papa Murphy’s established franchise infrastructure, proprietary recipes, operational support systems, and growing consumer demand for convenient, value-oriented dining options. Ownership has focused heavily on improving operational consistency, scheduling systems, inventory controls, staffing oversight, and food safety procedures to create a smoother and more efficient operation.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: $519K
- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $149K
- Strong Historical Profit Margins: 28.7% SDE Margin
Operational Overview
The business operates with a streamlined team consisting of one manager and four employees. Daily operations include food preparation, customer fulfillment, inventory management, scheduling, compliance procedures, and operational oversight. Existing management and trained staff allow the store to continue operating efficiently even when ownership is not actively present. Customers primarily identify with the Papa Murphy’s brand and store location rather than the individual owner, reducing key-person dependency risk.
This franchise benefits from multiple competitive advantages, including established brand awareness, repeat customer traffic, franchise-backed systems, proprietary menu offerings, and strong positioning within the convenience-focused takeout dining segment. The store also participates in community engagement efforts and has become a go-to local option for busy families, students, and residential customers seeking affordable meal solutions.
Growth Opportunities
- Expand local marketing and promotional campaigns
- Further optimize digital ordering and online sales channels
- Increase catering and community event participation
- Improve operational efficiencies under hands-on ownership
- Expand family bundle promotions and loyalty initiatives
