Business Overview:
SellerForce® presents an SBA Pre-Qualified remarkable opportunity to acquire a unique brand in the eCommerce and Food Manufacturing sector, specializing in baking oversized, filled gourmet cookies for 12 years. They make every cookie in-house from proprietary recipes, drawing from a library of 70+ flavors built on 4 core dough styles. Customers order online for nationwide shipping, through local food delivery platforms, and in bulk for corporate gifts, giving the brand several steady ways to bring in sales throughout the year. The business is supported by a well-established local production and fulfillment team, enabling the owner to manage operations seamlessly from out of state for over a year.
This is an SBA pre-qualified business, which means a qualified buyer can step in with just a 10% down payment, with the balance amortized over 10 years at highly competitive interest rates. The menu stays fresh without constant product development. 12 core flavors anchor the lineup, while 4 new seasonal flavors launch on the first of every month, growing to 6 in November and December.
Those monthly drops create a reliable spike in orders, and holiday boxes, assorted dozens, and gift orders keep demand high around the fourth quarter, Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day. Over the past 12 months, the business served 4,192 purchasing customers across 6,566 orders, with an average order value of about $62 and an average lifetime customer spend of $238. Returning customers placed 42.91% of all orders, a clear sign that people come back once they’ve tried the product.
Their made-to-order model keeps operations lean. Cookies are baked as orders come in, so finished-goods inventory stays minimal, and cost of goods sits at roughly 35% for labor and raw materials combined. A team of three handles baking, packaging, customer service, and shipping out of an 1,800-square-foot production kitchen, while an outside agency runs email, SMS, and paid social campaigns on a month-to-month basis. No single supplier or customer accounts for more than 15% of the business, which keeps concentration risk low. The owner moved out of state over a year ago and has run the company remotely since then, working only 5 to 15 hours a week on recipe development, brand direction, and big-picture decisions while operations hold steady.
The brand’s online reach is already sizable for a specialty bakery. The website averages 111,665 monthly visitors and 163,143 sessions, and the email list holds more than 60,000 contacts, with nearly all customers based in the United States. All of that traffic comes in without an SEO plan or blog in place.
There’s plenty of room for a buyer to grow from here. Putting more money behind paid acquisition, including search ads alongside the current social campaigns, would put the brand in front of more gift buyers. Building out email and SMS automation and adding a cookie subscription would turn one-time buyers into recurring customers. Corporate orders already come in at high volume and could be pushed further with dedicated outreach, while wholesale, hospitality accounts, and retail partnerships would open new channels entirely. A new owner could also expand nationwide shipping, start an SEO and content program from scratch, run creator collaborations, or license the recipes. With dozens of flavors already developed, launches could happen more often without starting from zero.
This acquisition offers a prospective buyer the chance to enter or expand within the thriving eCommerce and food manufacturing industry, backed by a well-established brand and a loyal customer following. With the current owner open to providing transition support, this business represents a compelling investment opportunity with scalable growth potential.
