Price reduced to sell! The area's first coffee house/retail gallery combines a comfortable coffee house atmosphere with unique art, jewelry and specialty merchandise. Established in an affluent area in late 2008 the owner's - due to personal obligations - are presenting an exciting opportunity for a new owner to take over at 1/3 of the cost of the owner's investment. The popular cafe is approaching break even after less than a year of operation. With the addition of specialty beer and wines, scheduled entertainment and a myriad of other possibilities, the new owner can benefit from the current owners move and enjoy a fun, lifestyle business.

Facilities: The highly visible facility with ample parking is located on a major thoroughfare in an upscale area of Charleston SC. The owners spent $60,000 in leasehold improvements in late 2008 turning the free standing facility into a beautiful shop. The facility and fixtures are in excellent condition.

Competition: There is no other coffee house and retail gallery in the area. The shop enjoys an excellent high traffic location with adjacent neighborhoods with walk up traffic along with ample off-street parking. The coffee espresso gallery concept is the first of its kind in Charleston and lends itself to the addition of several expansion possibilities including a beer/wine bar or shop as well as cooperative arrangements with local artists.

Growth/Expansion: The cafe can add beer and wine sales, evening events and entertainment, cooperative events with local artists and a new mix of merchandise to complement the existing merchandise.

Support/Training: The seller will offer 30 days of on-site training.

Reason Selling: The owner has to travel overseas beginning January '10 for an extensive period.
