Pepperidge Farm Bread Route – $104K SDE, 4-Day Week, Queensbury NY
Business Description
$103,980 in seller's discretionary earnings on a four-day work week. An established Pepperidge Farm bread distribution route based in Queensbury, Warren County, New York, the gateway to the Lake George and Adirondack vacation corridor, is offered for sale. Trailer included.
THE NUMBERS
- Average weekly sales: $11,109
- Annualized gross revenue: $577,668
- Seller's discretionary earnings: $103,980
- Asking price: $249,000
- Down payment: approximately $65,000 (about 26%)
- Balance financed through brand-approved lenders
- Schedule: four days per week, with occasional weekend pack-out
WHY THIS ROUTE
Six-figure earnings on a four-day week. This is the number most route buyers are shopping for and rarely find at this price point. The schedule leaves three days for a second income, a family, or a second route.
Trailer included. The buyer steps in with the equipment already in place. No separate vehicle purchase, no financing gap, and no delay between closing and the first delivery.
Lake George tourism corridor. Pepperidge Farm's brand pull over-indexes in vacation and seasonal markets. Goldfish, Milano, and the Farmhouse line are impulse-purchase products, and impulse purchase is exactly what tourist-heavy retail generates. Warren County's summer population swing works in the route's favor rather than against it.
Exclusive protected territory. A defined Pepperidge Farm territory under the company's independent business owner (IBO) model. Accounts inside the territory cannot be serviced by a competing distributor, which removes the account-poaching risk that unbranded delivery businesses carry.
Strong volume for the region. Roughly $577,668 annualized is a strong run-rate for a bakery route outside the New York City metro, and the operating costs of an upstate territory are materially lower than a downstate equivalent.
DEAL STRUCTURE
Asset sale. Buyer down payment of approximately $65,000; the balance is financed through Pepperidge Farm's brand-approved lender program. Trailer conveys with the sale. The buyer must be comfortable with the independent business owner (IBO) contractor model and must complete the Pepperidge Farm brand-approval process, which includes background and financial review.
IDEAL BUYER
- A first-time route owner-operator drawn to the upstate New York, Glens Falls, Saratoga, or Lake George corridor
- An existing route operator adding a territory in the Albany or Adirondack region
- A lifestyle buyer who wants six-figure owner earnings without a six-day week
- An investor-buyer with a driver who can work the four-day schedule
AVAILABLE UNDER NDA
Full route detail including account list by stop, weekly and monthly sales records, settlement statements, service schedule, and the complete confidential information package. A signed non-disclosure agreement and proof of funds are required before route-level detail is released.
Serious, financially qualified inquiries only. Listed by Nexus Bridge Business Brokers, a business brokerage serving New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

About the Business
- Franchise
- This business is an established franchise
- Facilities & Assets
- Established Pepperidge Farm territory operated under the company's independent business owner (IBO) model. A trailer is included in the sale. The transaction conveys the route's exclusive distribution rights within the defined territory, the account base, and the associated goodwill. Full account list by stop, weekly and monthly sales records, and settlement statements are provided to qualified buyers under a signed non-disclosure agreement and proof of funds.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The territory is exclusive. Under the Pepperidge Farm independent business owner model, no competing distributor may service the accounts inside this defined territory. Competition happens at the shelf between brands rather than between distributors, and Goldfish, Milano, and the Farmhouse bread line hold established category positions with corporate-negotiated shelf space and promotional programs. The Queensbury and greater Lake George retail base draws both a stable year-round residential population and a substantial seasonal visitor influx, and Pepperidge Farm's impulse-driven snack and premium bread lines index well against vacation-market traffic.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Route earnings grow through account-level execution rather than new customer acquisition. The levers available to an incoming owner: negotiate incremental shelf space and secondary displays at the larger accounts, build seasonal display programs ahead of the summer visitor peak, increase order accuracy to reduce stales and lift net settlement, and participate fully in Pepperidge Farm's promotional programs. The four-day schedule also leaves genuine capacity to acquire a contiguous territory and run a two-route operation off a shared vehicle and labor base.
About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Other business interests
- Transition Support
- The seller will provide hands-on ride-along training over the route, covering the full service cycle: ordering, pack-out, store-by-store service sequence, backhaul and stale credit handling, handheld and settlement procedures, and introductions to store receivers and department managers at each account. Pepperidge Farm additionally provides its own onboarding for newly approved independent business owners. Transition length is negotiable and structured around the buyer's experience level.
- Financing Options
- 65k down and the rest can be financed through company financing and approved lenders
