Lakewood Beverage Shop – Fully Built-Out, Priced to Sell
Business Description
Recently built in 2022, this modern beverage shop features over $120K in equipment and buildout and is offered at just $55,000 — well below replacement cost. Designed with a full beverage prep line, seating, signage, and a walk-in cooler, this is a turnkey opportunity for a new owner to step into a fully operational shop without the startup expense.
Located along South Wadsworth Blvd in Lakewood, one of the city’s busiest retail corridors with over 47,000 vehicles daily, the business benefits from high visibility, strong co-tenancy, and dense residential and daytime employment nearby. The 1,400 SF unit is leased at $4,500/month (including NNN), with two years remaining and renewal options available.
The shop currently operates with 6 part-time employees and is semi-absentee run, allowing flexibility for either an owner-operator or a hands-off investor. Buyers may choose to continue under the existing franchise system (subject to approval) or rebrand as an independent café concept.
Key Strengths:
Modern 2022 buildout with extensive beverage equipment, seating, and signage
Flexible operation: continue under franchise or rebrand independently
Strong visibility with 47K+ daily traffic on Wadsworth Blvd
Semi-absentee staff structure in place
Positioned in a diverse, high-income trade area with $486M spent annually dining out within 5 miles
Market & Demographic Highlights:
315,000+ residents within 5 miles, with an average household income of $103K
Diverse population mix including strong Asian, Hispanic, and Caucasian customer bases
129,000+ daytime employees within 5 miles fuel weekday demand
Annual consumer spending includes $1.16B on food & alcohol and $650M on entertainment & hobbies
Trade area features steady commuter traffic plus established retail co-tenancy
Growth Opportunities:
Increase local marketing, social media, and delivery platform presence
Extend hours and introduce seasonal promotions
Add catering for schools, offices, and community events
Rebrand for greater flexibility with food and menu innovation
This is a rare chance to acquire a fully built-out, modern beverage shop in a high-traffic Lakewood location for just $55K. Perfect for an owner-operator, investor, or franchisee seeking a low-cost entry into a turnkey operation.

- Franchise
- This business is an established franchise
- Facilities & Assets
- Built out in 2022 with over $120K in equipment and leasehold improvements. 1,400 SF unit on busy Wadsworth Blvd (47K+ cars/day). $4,500/mo lease with options. Includes walk-in cooler, blenders, POS/kiosk, seating, and signage. Semi-absentee run with staff in place. Priced at $55K — well below buildout cost. Buyer may keep franchise (approval req.) or rebrand as independent café.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The shop is located in a busy Lakewood retail corridor with heavy commuter traffic and strong neighborhood demographics. Within 5 miles there are 315K+ residents and over $480M spent annually dining out. While nearby cafés and quick-service chains exist, there are very few dedicated boba tea operators in the immediate area, giving this shop a competitive edge in a high-demand beverage segment.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Strong upside for a hands-on owner. Current operations have minimal marketing and no local promotions. Growth opportunities include expanding delivery app presence, adding seasonal drinks, extending hours, and community partnerships with schools or offices. Buyer may also rebrand for menu flexibility and reduced franchise costs. Positioned for sales lift with focused marketing and owner involvement.
