Coffee, Ice Cream & Bakery
Profitable, Turnkey, Franchise for Sale Absentee Run
Business Description
This turn key bubble tea shop Franchise for Sale is the perfect opportunity to own a profitable and modern beverage business in one of Richmond's fastest growing communities. The store sits in a beautifully maintained retail center surrounded by master planned neighborhoods, schools, and high traffic commercial developments. With a clean, contemporary build out and a highly efficient workflow, the space offers both functionality and visual appeal. The 1,208 square foot lease commenced in February 2024 and includes a full 10 year term, providing long term location stability in a market where prime spaces are increasingly difficult to secure. This shop has become a gathering place for families, teens, and commuters looking for high quality tea, smoothies, and specialty beverages, all of which contribute to a steady stream of repeat customers.
Financially, this Franchise for Sale is consistent and dependable. The store generated $332,492 in revenue during 2024 and has already produced $254,224 in sales through the first ten months of 2025, demonstrating stable demand and loyal customer engagement. Cost of goods remains predictable, averaging around 28%, and the beverage based model keeps labor manageable and waste extremely low. A motivated owner operator can further improve margins with hands on management, tighter scheduling, and the introduction of additional product lines. The current operation requires minimal cooking, making the business ideal for someone seeking a straightforward, easy to run concept with strong brand recognition in the community.
This listing, offered by We Sell Restaurants, includes an extensive equipment package featuring commercial refrigeration, induction cooktops, a large tea brewing system, cup sealing and shaking machines, enclosed blenders, a commercial espresso unit, stainless steel prep stations, POS and printer systems, a commercial ice machine, water filtration and softening system, three compartment sink, hand sinks, shelving, smallwares, and complete dining room fixtures. The space is inviting and comfortable, with a mix of community tables, red metal seating, upholstered lounge chairs, bench seating, televisions, and even two prize machines that generate additional revenue. The build out and equipment alone would cost significantly more than the asking price to reproduce.
Growth potential is substantial. A new owner can increase revenue by expanding digital marketing, boosting social media engagement, optimizing third party delivery platforms, and adding catering services for schools, offices, and local events. Seasonal drink campaigns, loyalty programs, and partnerships with neighborhood organizations offer additional upside. There is also opportunity to introduce limited food items, branded merchandise, or a late night beverage menu to capture more dayparts. With its strong foundation, premium location, long term lease, and impressive equipment package, this store is perfectly positioned for continued growth and ideal for both first time buyers and experienced operators looking to expand in the Richmond market.
