Employees:

Facilities:

Approximately 1,400 square feet in an established shopping center serving an affluent Richland County neighborhood. The center is connected to a residential apartment community and benefits from a strong mix of surrounding retail, dining, residential density, and nearby institutional demand.

The store features a modern open-kitchen layout, customer ordering and waiting area, commercial baking and production equipment, refrigeration, mixers, ovens, display equipment, and recently added beverage equipment. The premises are clean and well maintained.

Competition:

The business serves an established and affluent Richland County trade area with a strong mix of residential, retail, institutional, university, and military demand. Its proximity to a major South Carolina university creates access to students, faculty, athletic programs, housing services, events, and institutional catering opportunities. The business has also developed relationships outside traditional retail traffic, including university departments, local military organizations, catering customers, and community partners. These relationships differentiate the location from a typical dessert retail operation and provide additional sources of recurring and large-volume orders.

Growth & Expansion:

A new owner has several opportunities to build on the existing foundation, including expanding relationships with additional university departments, athletic programs, student organizations, military groups, corporate catering customers, and community events.

Additional growth opportunities include increasing off-site pop-ups, expanding local business development efforts, taking advantage of new franchisor products and initiatives, and potentially extending operating hours. Because daily operations are already handled by an experienced management team, an engaged buyer could devote additional time to marketing, catering, and relationship development rather than rebuilding store operations.

Financing:

Including CAM

Support & Training:

The sellers are committed to providing approximately 30–60 days of transition assistance, or longer if reasonably needed, to help ensure a smooth ownership transfer. This will include introductions and transition of important university, military, catering, vendor, and community relationships.
The franchisor also requires incoming franchisees to complete its required management training and approval process.
