National Cookie Franchise | Semi-Absentee | Sole County Location | GM In Place | SBA Eligible | $375K

Business Overview:

Here is a rare opportunity for a qualified buyer to step into a Crumbl Cookies franchise — the only Crumbl location serving an entire Maryland county. This is not a startup. This is not a fixer-upper. This is a fully operational, GM-led franchise that opens its doors every week, bakes fresh product, serves a loyal customer base, and generates positive cash flow — all without requiring the owner to set foot in the store. This Crumbl Cookies location is the only unit in the county — serving a population of approximately 115,000 residents with a median household income of roughly $90,000, above the Maryland state average. The nearest competing Crumbl location is more than 30 minutes away. That market position was built over four years. It transfers with this acquisition. Additional demand drivers include a major U.S. military installation with 20,000+ personnel, a growing commuter residential base, and a retail center with complementary co-tenants generating consistent foot traffic. An experienced, salaried General Manager runs all day-to-day operations — scheduling, ordering, staffing, and customer service. A team of shift leads and part-time bakers supports current and projected volume. The ownership group has no required operational presence. Crumbl's national franchise infrastructure handles product development, brand marketing via an 8M+ social media following, and the Crumbl app — consistently one of the top-ranked food apps in the country — that drives consistent consumer engagement every week. A buyer does not build this — they step into it. Trailing twelve-month revenue is approximately $870,000. The business carries zero long-term debt. Net fixed assets — commercial baking equipment, refrigeration, a Crumbl-branded delivery vehicle, and leasehold improvements — total approximately $447,000, providing asset backing that exceeds the asking price before any goodwill or franchise value is considered. Revenue declined from a 2023 peak of approximately $1.17M to approximately $940,000 in 2025, consistent with the Crumbl system's national post-launch normalization cycle. The business is cash-flow positive. Four identified factors account for the decline — none represent structural demand deterioration — and six quantified, zero-capital growth levers have been identified but not yet activated. A brand-new dirty soda program was installed April 2026 and has never been marketed. Delivery platform revenue sits at roughly half the brand's national system average. School fundraiser partnerships, military catering, and corporate gifting represent immediate, zero-capital revenue opportunities. A buyer who brings modest local engagement steps into more than $297,000 in identified incremental annual revenue. The sellers are exiting due to other business priorities and are motivated to ensure a clean, professional transfer.

Market Competition and Expansion:

This Crumbl Cookies location is the only unit of the brand serving an entire Maryland county of approximately 115,000 residents with above-average median household income (~$90,000). The nearest competing Crumbl location is more than 30 minutes away. The local market benefits from a major U.S. military installation and defense contractor workforce exceeding 20,000 personnel, a growing residential commuter base, and a retail co-tenancy generating consistent foot traffic. Crumbl competes nationally in the U.S. specialty cookie segment — a subset of the $50B+ retail bakery market growing at an estimated 5–7% CAGR. Local competition consists of independent bakeries in custom/event formats and grocery bakery departments. No direct Crumbl competition exists within the immediate trade area. Crumbl's rotating weekly menu, national app, and national marketing infrastructure create habitual return behavior independent competitors cannot replicate.
