2-Unit Dessert Franchise – High Cash Flow, Fully Absentee-Run

Business Description

Rare opportunity to acquire two established, absentee-run franchise dessert locations generating strong cash flow with minimal owner involvement. Backed by a nationally recognized brand and viral weekly product drops, this is a turnkey operation with built-in demand and significant upside.

This is one of the most recognizable gourmet cookie concepts in the U.S., known for its rotating weekly menu, premium oversized cookies, and massive social media following. Established in 2021, these two locations have quickly become go-to dessert destinations in their respective markets, serving a loyal, hyper-local customer base with consistent repeat traffic.

Key Financial Highlights (2024)

- Annual Revenue: $1.54M (portfolio-wide peak performance)

- Adjusted SDE: $404K (26.1% margin)

- Gross Profit: $610K (39.4% margin)

Operational Overview

The business operates with a highly systemized franchise model, supported by corporate infrastructure, training, and proven SOPs. Each location is managed by an experienced General Manager overseeing daily operations, staff scheduling, inventory, and reporting. With 4 full-time and 25 part-time employees across both stores, the operation runs smoothly with minimal oversight. Production is streamlined with morning prep and baking shifts, allowing efficient labor allocation throughout the day.

Reason for Sale

The owner is selling to pursue other business opportunities, creating an ideal opening for a buyer to step into a fully operational, branded concept with immediate cash flow.

Growth Opportunities

- Relocate or optimize underperforming location to unlock higher revenue potential

- Expand into high-margin beverage offerings (e.g., “dirty sodas”)

- Increase catering, school, and community partnerships to drive bulk orders

Ideal Buyer Profile

This opportunity is perfect for an investor seeking a semi-passive, cash-flowing business or an owner-operator looking to scale within a proven franchise system. With strong brand recognition, corporate support, and operational infrastructure already in place, a new owner can focus on growth rather than startup challenges.
