Ice Cream Franchise in Houston- Seller Financing Available
Business Description
TRANSWORLD BUSINESS ADVISORS OF SOUTH & WEST TEXAS - LISTING REF # 76931-731522
Creamistry® is a California-based franchise founded in 2013, specializing in made-to-order liquid nitrogen ice cream using all-natural, organic ingredients and offering vegan options. Renowned for its wide selection of freshly prepared frozen treats, exceptional customer service, and eye-catching liquid nitrogen “smoke show,” Creamistry® has emerged as one of the fastest-growing franchises in its category - earning recognition on the Inc. 5000 list two years in a row.
This franchise location, established in 2016, is situated in a well-known, thriving commercial hub - an upscale shopping center with high foot traffic, excellent visibility, and direct access to major roads. The current owner acquired the store in 2019 and has steadily grown the business over the past six years through thoughtful menu expansion and a strong commitment to quality. Today, the shop is a popular destination for families, food enthusiasts, and ice cream lovers alike.
The franchisor provides strong support in areas such as corporate marketing, product innovation, and digital ordering platforms. The current owner maintains a passive role, spending approximately 10 hours per week on the business. Despite this limited involvement, the store has averaged $607,270 in annual revenue over the past three years. In 2024, revenue reached $541,292 with Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $38,397.
Due to recent personal and professional changes, the owner is offering the business at a discounted price of $99,500, with seller financing available. The buyer will pay 50% of the purchase price as a down payment at closing, while the remaining 50% will be financed by the seller over a 2-year term at an annual interest rate of 7%.
Opening a new franchise typically requires an investment of approximately $300,000, making this a compelling opportunity to acquire a fully operational, turnkey business in a prime location for a fraction of the cost.
No prior experience is necessary. Training and transition support will be provided by the franchisor. A more hands-on owner could unlock significant upside potential. Whether you're seeking a growth-ready business or passive income from day one, this established franchise offers a rare opportunity with immediate cash flow and minimal startup time.
