Established Cake Bakery In Upscale Neighborhood

Business Overview:

Over 15-year established upscale bakery specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes is now available for acquisition. This business was originally established by the current owner in 2004 and has relocated to the current location in 2017 as the business has outgrown the space at the previous location. Right after the relocation, the facility was completely renovated at the cost of over $100,000. This business is located in a 1,300 Square Feet space of a retail strip center just off from the major highway, surrounded by an extremely high-income residential neighborhood and an enormous presence of retail chains. Various menu items are prepared by professional bakers and cake designers ranging from cupcakes, dessert cakes, wedding cakes, toppers & flutes, and it also provides custom cake orders to accommodate all kinds of customer's preferences. The majority of the customers are high-income Caucasian individuals and a good mix of various ethnic groups from the nearby affluent residential area. Competition is expected in this industry, but this business has built up its solid customer base that has been accumulated in the last 16 years of operation by not only providing a strong product line and exceptional customer service but also providing custom-design cakes that have differentiated itself from the competition. Few competitors are still within the immediate market area, but this is the only cake shop that offers custom cakes and cupcakes. Revenues have been growing every year, running at around 250K-280K per year over the last several years, but the growth has been temporarily halted due to COVID-19 in 2020. Although some online marketing is in place through social media outlets such as Facebook and Instagram, more pro-active marketing methods need to be utilized to achieve maximum income potential as well as to grow the customer base beyond the immediate market area. Focusing on acquiring wholesale or corporate accounts for catering from nearby corporate offices and headquarters, medical offices, car dealerships, schools, churches, etc. can also have an immediate effect on the overall sales. This business still has great potential as this bakery has been known as the best bakery in the area by the local community, and the demand for custom cakes and cupcakes is increasing through social media marketing. This is a great opportunity to acquire a well-established upscale bakery for a potential buyer who is willing to be more hands-on in the day-to-day operation and marketing to reach out to untapped areas of the city.
