Business Overview:
Step into a rare opportunity to own a beloved neighborhood institution, a 50-year-old gourmet shop on a lively plaza just off the highway and steps from a bustling university. In 868 square feet, this cozy destination has delighted generations with imported cheeses, pâtés, Belgian sweets, artisanal pantry items, and shostopping custom gift baskets and charcuterie boards that keep customers coming back. The business is truly turnkey: shelves stocked, a fully functional basement for storage and gift basket preparation, and recent investments, including five new coolers and three new freezers. The all-inclusive rent is an astonishing $1,350 per month, offering low overhead and strong cash flow potential. The current owner is passionate about a smooth handover and will provide hands-on training to ensure the shop’s traditions and loyal clientele continue to thrive. This is more than a business; it’s a ready-made story of flavor, hospitality, and community, waiting for the next owner to add their chapter. To own a gourmet cheese shop of this caliber with no real competition in this upscale community near a major University for a price like this doesn’t come around often. Call now.
