This is a unique opportunity to acquire a highly regarded specialty foods business focused exclusively on importing and retailing premium European products. Originally established as a hybrid restaurant-market-wholesale concept, the business has evolved into a streamlined importer and boutique retailer, known for its high-quality, additive-free offerings and strong customer loyalty.
The company sources artisan products directly from long-standing suppliers, offering customers a curated selection that includes world-class cheeses, cured meats and traditional pantry staples. They also create fresh homemade pasta, pasta sauces homemade frozen pizza and artisan breads. These products are distributed via farmers markets and specialty retail partnerships. The brand is widely recognized in the region for its authenticity and craftsmanship, having developed a loyal following among food enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers.
This business is being sold with its 2,000sq ft commercial space. Since Covid they have not reopened their doors to customers so this operates as a production and repacking site. They still have all necessary equipment to reopen their doors to the public if a new owner wants to introduce a ‘new’ revenue stream. This structure offers excellent margins, low overhead, and significant potential for expansion—whether into e-commerce, private label development, or broader distribution through specialty grocers and co-ops.
Key assets include proprietary recipes and sourcing channels, a well-developed brand with marketing collateral, and a highly reputable name with years of goodwill in the regional gourmet food community. Operational systems, supplier relationships, and event logistics are in place, making this an excellent turnkey opportunity.
Highlights:
• Established importer with strong relationships across gourmet food channels
• Diverse, in-demand product line with consistent sales at premium farmers markets and specialty events
• Clean, debt-free operation with no lease obligations
• Fully compliant with health and food safety regulations
• Growth potential in online retail, subscription models, and regional wholesale
• Price includes commercial space to utilize as local restaurant or repackaging and distribution center
This is an ideal acquisition for a buyer with a passion for specialty foods, and direct-to-consumer sales, looking for a flexible business with a strong foundation and excellent growth potential.
