Business for Sale Overview:
What could be better than combining flowers and cookies into one sweet concept? This 25 year old franchise has the perfect custom shaped, hand-decorated cookie bouquet for every occasion. The current owner of this Midwest Michigan retailer has worked part time, but has decided she wants to be a full time “stay- at- home- Mom”. Hence, she has decided to sell her cookie bouquet retail store that she has owned since 1998. A new owner could choose to work part time, or work full time and possibly increase revenues while reducing expenses.
Located on a major high traffic street, in a new and very busy strip mall, the shop is 1,700 square feet with ample parking. The business comes with $55,000 of baking equipment and $5,000 in inventory. Additionally, the franchisee will retain the exclusive rights to this Midwest Michigan city.
Sales over the last three years have averaged $342,000 with cash flow averaging $75,400. Twenty percent of sales are over the internet, and the seller maintains a 12 month Buyer Log of over 6,000 names. Several new products have been added in 2009, such as cupcakes, cake balls and a line of “make your own mixes”. Additional marketing is now targeting corporate customers and bridal shows/baby showers to increase demand for the “party favor” size offering.
This business has a sterling reputation and is a great investment for the active entrepreneur, or someone looking for passive investment income. For more information on this business, please call Kathy McKee.
