Established Culinary Experience Business & Treats Shop in Gatlinburg
Business Description
Perfect opportunity to own a profitable, fully operational culinary business located in one of the most visited tourist destinations in the U.S. This unique concept blends a perfectly designed vacation experience that is filled with culture and showcases the great history of the Great Smoky Mountains and the Appalachian people and includes a well established gourmet treats shop. This business offers memorable and immersive experiences for individuals, couples, families, group and weekend retreats. With no direct competition in the area, this niche business has carved out a strong marketing position and built a loyal following of both tourists and locals.
Operating some portions of the business only part-time, generates good revenue and has significant potential for expansion under full time ownership - with a strong demand that exceeds the current owner's capacity with being out of state. There is a clear path through extended hours, additional experience offerings, corporate or private events, and e-commerce growth, just to name a few.
Business includes a professionally designed website, a full online booking platform and branded marketing assets valued at $10,000. All equipment, inventory and fixtures - valued at approximately $45,000 - are included. The leased location is highly visible, attractively built out, and situated in a vibrant shopping village with year-round foot traffic.
In addition to strong customer base and glowing reviews, the business has attracted interest with TV professionals and influencers looking to host special events or film segments at the venue - with filing on Public Broadcast Station, BBC Network taking place right at this lovely location.
This is a turnkey operation ideal for the perfect entrepreneur or investor looking to step into a thriving business with immediate cash flow and plenty of upside. The current owners, who founded and developed the concept, are only part-time operators traveling in from out of state. With the arrival of a new grandchild and growing family commitments, they are seeking to transition the business to someone who can give it the full-time attention it deserves to meet the current growing demands the business is experiencing.
