Business Overview:
More and more people are being diagnosed with Celiac disease. More and more grocery stores are providing food without gluten but there are very few stores in the U.S. that are Gluten-Free "only" grocery stores. The clientele appreciate being able to buy "anything" in the store without looking at the labels. The business is growing and is becoming known nationally by tourists and e-mail customers. Fresh bread is available weekly. Baking supplies, pastas, pastries, pizzas, cookies and candies, as well as snacks and a variety of other products are available for people with Celiac disease. Local physicians are referral sources as well as other health care providers. The location is ideal for tourist traffic and visible for locals as well. It's "on the edge of town but the center of health". The owner expressed many customers "wish" this business was in their city.

Property Features and Assets:
The location is ideal for tourist and locals. A very busy highway make exposure high and access easy. There is minimal equipment needed to run this store. A small cooler and freezer take care of the cold food needs. Shelving make up the rest of the store for fresh bread, noodles, snacks, and all other grocery items.
Market Competition and Expansion:
The possibility of making this a Master Franchise is very good. The owner opened the store after a family member was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The frustrations of reading labels and buying products, later to finding them to be unusable were reasons for the Gluten-free grocery store idea. They have helped many customers become "family". They have gotten to know a lot of the customers and helped them through the new food regiment. Its profit was minimal the first year but the potential is there for much more. Since the business is so new it is expected to grow with more people finding out about them.
