Semi-Absentee Ice Cream & Food Business-Strong Cash Flow-Expandable Year-Round Opportunity

Not Disclosed, IL
Not disclosed

This profitable and well-established ice cream and casual dining business is a community favorite located in a high-traffic area of Metro East Illinois. The business offers a unique blend of frozen desserts and freshly prepared comfort foods, appealing to both families and travelers. With a proven menu mix of premium ice cream treats, shakes, sundaes, burgers, wraps, and signature regional dishes, the business has built a loyal customer base and consistent year-over-year revenue.The operation runs on a pickup-only model, allowing for simple management, low overhead, and strong profit margins. The current owner works less than 10 hours per week, supported by a dependable team that manages daily operations—making this an excellent fit for either a hands-on owner-operator or a semi-absentee investor. The business produced $479,950 in sales and $103,784 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) in 2023, and $425,107 in sales with $57,926 in SDE in 2024.For an engaged new owner, there is significant upside. The business currently operates seasonally, closing during winter months, but strong recent growth in food sales provides a clear opportunity to expand to year-round operations. In addition, adding third-party delivery services (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) and extending hours would easily increase volume and visibility. An owner-operator could also capture additional profit by reducing payroll expenses, currently around $140,000 annually, which would add substantially to take-home income.This is a turnkey, financeable opportunity with flexible ownership options. The business is offered for $250,000, and the real estate is available for $550,000, or $800,000 total for full ownership. The seller is also willing to lease the property to the buyer if preferred. With its excellent reputation, streamlined operations, and clear growth potential, this business offers a rare chance to acquire a profitable, community-rooted operation with immediate cash flow and room to expand.
