Award-Winning Franchised Juice Bar — Turnkey, Built-Out & Growing In Affluent N. Virginia Trade Area

Business Overview:

Established, award-winning franchised juice bar in one of the most affluent suburban trade areas in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. This is a turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, fully equipped, and operating health-and-wellness concept — smoothies, acai and pitaya bowls, cold-pressed juices, and wellness shots — under a recognized national franchise brand. The current owners built this business from the ground up: a brand-new professional build-out, all-new commercial equipment, an established multi-channel revenue base, and a trained part-time team. In under two years of operation, the store was named a "Best of 2026" Award Winner in the Juice Shop category (powered by Google Reviews) — independent validation of product quality and customer loyalty. What makes this opportunity stand out is the foundation that is already in place. A new operator building a comparable franchised location from scratch would face an estimated investment approaching $650,000 and a 12–18 month timeline for site selection, build-out, permitting, and brand launch — all before opening day. Here, that work is done. A buyer steps into a finished, permitted, operating store with revenue, a loyal customer base, and momentum. The business is growing. Revenue for the January–May period is up approximately 24% over the same period last year, and the most recent full month set a fresh monthly record. Gross margins run in the low-70s percent, providing strong operating leverage as revenue scales. Revenue flows through multiple channels that are already live and transfer with the business: walk-in retail, branded app and online ordering, major third-party delivery platforms, corporate catering, and fitness-studio partnerships. Perhaps the most distinctive asset is community goodwill. The co-owner has personally cultivated a network of roughly eighteen active community partnerships and sponsorships across local youth sports leagues, schools, and area nonprofits — relationships that cannot be bought with an advertising budget and that convey with the sale. In a tight-knit, family-oriented town, this embedded presence is a powerful, hard-to-replicate competitive advantage. This is an early-stage unit still in its ramp phase. The business is not yet profitable on a trailing basis, and the financials are presented candidly: the opportunity is built value plus growth, not trailing earnings. The ideal buyer is a hands-on, owner-operator who wants to step into a built, branded, community-embedded business and take it to the next level by activating a clear set of low-capital growth levers — loyalty and database marketing, structured community fundraising events, cleanse/subscription programs, outbound corporate catering, and capturing nearby foot and recreational traffic. No prior food-service experience is required; the national franchisor provides full training, brand systems, and ongoing support. The franchise transfer is subject to franchisor approval and a modest transfer fee. The location operates under a long-term lease with extension options, providing site control for years to come. A confidential opportunity. Business name, exact location, and ownership are withheld pending an executed Non-Disclosure Agreement. Full financials, lease, and franchise details are available to qualified, NDA-signed buyers.

Property Features and Assets:

The business occupies approximately 1,067 square feet in an established neighborhood shopping center on the primary commercial corridor of an affluent suburban town, with co-tenancy and on-site parking. The space was professionally built out new in 2024 for prototypical juice-bar use (made-to-order preparation, cold-pressed juice program, and grab-and-go refrigerated product). All furniture, fixtures, and equipment were purchased new in 2024 and are included in the sale. The equipment package — documented by supplier invoices — includes a conveyor toaster, induction cooking range, soup/heat warmer, commercial refrigeration, blenders, a complete cold-pressed juice setup, prep and storage systems, scales, point-of-sale hardware, and full front- and back-of-house smallwares. A primary equipment package alone represented an investment of more than $31,000, with substantial additional equipment and smallwares beyond that. The store operates on a modern technology stack: integrated point-of-sale and payments, online/app ordering, and established storefronts on major third-party delivery and lifestyle platforms with accumulated ratings and order history. The premises are leased; the real estate is not owned and is not included in the sale. (Square footage and equipment detail per lease and supplier invoices; a full FF&E schedule is available in diligence.)

Market Competition and Expansion:

The store serves an affluent, health-conscious suburban trade area in the Washington, D.C. metro — among the highest-income communities in the U.S. — with strong demand for functional wellness products. The competitive set includes national smoothie franchises and regional juice/acai concepts. The business competes on its national brand and systems, prime main-corridor location with parking, the broadest product range in its set (smoothies, bowls, cold-pressed juice, shots, and catering), an established multi-platform delivery presence, and — most distinctively — deep, hard-to-replicate community partnerships.

Reason for Selling:

The owners have built the business from a new concept into an award-winning, community-rooted juice shop and, at this stage in their lives, are ready to step back and reduce their daily workload. They are seeking a passionate owner-operator successor to continue the brand and the community relationships they have built. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
