Be the "kid" in your own candy store!

Sweet Afton's, Salt lake City, Utah's premier candy store, is currently being offered for sale. Located in unique Historic Gardner Village, Sweet Afton's has been in business for nearly 18 years and is a favorite of local and tourist clientele alike. Literally, EVERYONE is our customer. Sweet Afton's specializes in homemade fresh cream and butter fudge (over 80 different flavors), old-fashioned novelty candy and a variety of specialty gift and gourmet items. The quaint, country atmosphere of Gardner Village is the perfect environment for this successful and promising business.

Facilities: Sweet Afton's is housed in a former, relocated, train station, with just over 2,000 sq. ft. of retail, production and storage space. The building is leased, but all furniture, fixtures, displays and inventory are included with the sales price. Lease to be negotiated with landlord. Quaint, old-fashioned atmosphere in both business and Village surroundings. A local shopping favorite with fun Village events throughout the year. See www.gardnervillage.com.

Competition: Sweet Afton's is located in a quaint country shopping "Village" of 22 shops, restaurant, bakery, art gallery, convention center and day spa. Sweet Afton's is the Village candy store with no other competition nearby. Sweet Afton's is clearly Salt Lake City's premier candy store. There is no other such establishment anywhere in the state. We are especially well known for our fresh, homemade fudge. We also sold over 6200 fresh dipped caramel apples in six weeks during September and October last year. A great place to work and own a business!

Growth/Expansion: Currently, Sweet Afton's sales come mainly from the walk-in retail customers. We do have some wholesale accounts and also do occasional gift baskets. We have a web site, which is mainly informational (no shopping cart available). These three areas; wholesale, corporate gifts and gift baskets, and internet sales all have great potential for expansion and added value to Sweet Afton's. Also, there is the opportunity to take the fudge and fresh cinnamon roasted nuts "on the road" to do festivals, conventions, sporting and other off-site events.

Support/Training: 30 days training to be provided by seller. Training to include vendor, sales rep, customer list information, as well as candy production, sales techniques and employee instruction. The landlords are also excellent to work with and are willing to provide added advice and counsel when called upon.

Reason Selling: After nearly 18 years I would like to retire and spend more time with my family.
