Profitable Franchise Ice Cream Business

Maggie Moo's has won the Blue Ribbon Award for "The Best Ice Cream in America." Ice cream is freshly made in the store along with ice cream cakes, cup cakes, and other novelties. A frozen granite table produces a center stage experience as the customer watches their super premium ice cream creation being hand folded with their choice of confections, fruits, and other mix-ins. This existing franchise promises great opportunity. Located in the Market Place at Potomac Station shopping center (corner of Battlefield Parkway and Route 7), this area is one of the fastest growing in the country with demographics which are highly desirable. The 5 mile population is over 100,000 with average household income of over $120,000.00. 5 year projections are even more impressive. The store opened under previous ownership in July, 2004. By years end we will move to a new pad being built in the same shopping center (see attached PDF file for site info, demographics and floor plan) with 42 feet of direct frontage on Battlefield Parkway. Once completed, this new location will have major visibility on a bypass to the Route 7 & 15 log jam with some 70,000 cars per day projected. With ice cream being an impulse buy, the new visibility will greatly bump up sales. Buyer will need around $60,000 for interior construction and moving expense. We have created great relationships within the community, working with Loudoun County & Leesburg Recreation Depts, Heritage High School (fundraising and product sales), other area schools, Leesburg Little League and many charitable organization fundraisers. As a new Maggie Moos typically costs over $350,000, you can have a new Maggie Moos at a premiere location for a fraction of that cost. Please contact me directly, Steven Francis, owner, at 207-967-8877. More information such as financial statements will be disclosed to qualified parties. Please DO NOT call the store directly or discuss the sale should you visit the store. Thank you.
