One-of-a-kind specialty food opportunity: per the sellers, the only dedicated cut-to-order artisan cheese shop in Phoenix, operating since 2022 in one of the Valley's most affluent trade areas. The shop pairs a curated cut-to-order cheese counter with specialty grocery, gifts, prepared foods, and charcuterie, supported by a commercial prep kitchen and a beautifully finished, design-forward retail build-out (approximately $107,000 in leasehold improvements).

THE NUMBERS

FY2025 revenue of $394,382 per books (FY2023: $350,617; FY2024: $383,104)
FY2025 seller's discretionary earnings of $53,610 as reported
Register-verified core: roughly 8,000 transactions per year at a ~$40 average ticket, three years running
2023 books tie to the filed tax return to the dollar

THE PLATFORM

Lease in place through 2028 at a sustainable ~6.8% occupancy cost
Adjacent furnished suite already branded and staged as a tasting lounge - a built-in second revenue engine for classes, private events, and pairings
1,800+ newsletter subscribers, 5,000+ social followers, subscription cheese club launched 2026, established classes and events program
Online ordering and delivery live on Toast POS

THE UPSIDE
The shop currently trades only five days a week - Saturday alone delivers roughly 36% of weekly sales, and Sunday/Monday remain dark. Opening Sunday at even half of Saturday's rate adds an estimated $45K-$60K in annualized revenue. Add the lounge activation, a beer and wine license for pairings, cheese club growth, and corporate gifting, and this is a platform priced below the cost of its own build-out with clear room to run.

THE TRADE AREA
Roughly 223,000 residents across the six-ZIP trade area, with the Town of Paradise Valley (median household income ~$160K) and the Scottsdale border ZIPs closest to the store.
