Business Description

Excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established, locally recognized deli, pizzeria and convenience market in a strong Central Michigan community.

This is much more than a traditional convenience store. The business combines multiple revenue streams under one roof, including made-to-order pizza, specialty sandwiches and grinders, wings, hot foods, hand-dipped ice cream, convenience-store merchandise, beer, wine and liquor, along with additional grab-and-go food offerings.

The business has developed a loyal customer following and strong community presence by focusing on quality food, customer service, variety and community involvement.

The owners have invested significant time into developing recipes, menu offerings, operating procedures, equipment, vendor relationships and an established local brand.

This is an operating business—not a startup—and provides a new owner with the opportunity to step into an established operation with existing customers, revenue, equipment and systems already in place.

Multiple Revenue Streams

The business generates sales from a diverse mix of categories, including:

• Freshly made pizzas, including specialty pizzas
• Oven-baked grinders and sandwiches
• Wings and hot food
• Breakfast and grab-and-go food
• Soups and prepared foods
• Hand-dipped ice cream
• Convenience-store merchandise
• Snacks, candy and beverages
• Beer, wine and liquor
• Lottery
• Catering and food trays
• Seasonal and community-event business

The diversity of the operation provides multiple opportunities for continued growth rather than relying on one primary product category.

Real Estate Included

The asking price includes the real estate, providing the buyer with both an operating business and the underlying property.

Additional information regarding the property, equipment, fixtures and improvements will be made available to qualified buyers.

Established Operating Systems

The owners have worked extensively to create systems and procedures covering food preparation, inventory, opening and closing responsibilities, cleaning, stocking, ordering and employee expectations.

Management development and employee training are also being strengthened as part of the owners’ long-term transition plan.

This creates an opportunity for a buyer to acquire a business with operating knowledge and systems already established rather than having to develop everything from scratch.

Significant Growth Opportunities

Although the business is established, there are several potential areas for future growth.

The business currently operates Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and has historically remained closed on Sundays.

A future owner could potentially increase revenue by:

• Opening Sundays
• Expanding breakfast operations
• Increasing catering
• Expanding delivery
• Developing online ordering
• Increasing prepared-food offerings
• Expanding community and corporate catering
• Growing social-media marketing
• Expanding retail product offerings
• Developing additional proprietary food products
• Increasing seasonal promotions and events

These opportunities are not required to maintain the existing operation but provide several avenues for an ambitious new owner to pursue additional growth.

Community Presence

The business has developed a strong relationship with its surrounding community and has become a familiar local destination.

Ownership has placed considerable emphasis on supporting the community, participating in local events and creating a welcoming neighborhood business.
