Only Charcuterie Storefront in San Diego - $73K in Assets
Business Description
Exceptional opportunity to acquire the only dedicated charcuterie storefront business in the entire San Diego market. This turnkey operation includes $73,000 in assets (equipment and inventory), representing significant value against the $85,000 asking price. Located in a busy Chula Vista shopping center directly across from a community college, this business enjoys steady foot traffic and considerable growth potential.
What distinguishes this business is its unique market position as the sole provider of premium charcuterie offerings with a retail storefront in San Diego County. This exclusivity creates a significant competitive advantage that would be difficult for new market entrants to overcome. The business specializes in creating visually stunning and delicious artisanal grazing boards for both retail customers and catering clients.
The operation comes fully equipped with all necessary specialized equipment in a well-positioned 900 square foot retail space. The prime location provides excellent visibility while the proximity to a community college creates natural foot traffic and catering opportunities for campus events, faculty meetings, and student gatherings.
This franchise opportunity includes exceptional support with a commitment from the current owner to provide six months of transition assistance - far beyond the industry standard. This extended knowledge transfer ensures a smooth transition and continued operational excellence. Additionally, the franchisor offers comprehensive training, marketing support, and operational guidance to ensure owner success.
The charcuterie category represents one of the fastest-growing segments in specialty foods, with increasing demand for both retail products and catering services. Revenue potential spans multiple channels: in-store retail, corporate catering, weddings, private events, holiday offerings, and subscription services. This versatility creates numerous avenues for business expansion.
The current owner is selling due to a change in plans unrelated to the business's performance or potential. This creates a rare opportunity to acquire the only dedicated charcuterie storefront in San Diego at an accessible price point. For an entrepreneur with marketing expertise and a creative vision, this business offers exceptional growth potential in a premium food category with limited competition.
