Business Description
Profitable Dessert Franchise
Opportunity to acquire an established, nationally recognized dessert franchise in one of Richland County’s most desirable and affluent trade areas. The business generates approximately $1.14 million in annual revenue and $248,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings while operating with very limited owner involvement.

A major advantage of this location is the business it has developed outside of traditional walk-in retail. Established relationships with a major South Carolina university, athletic programs, housing services, local military organizations, catering customers, and community partners provide recurring large-volume orders and additional revenue streams. The store also benefits from a highly experienced General Manager who oversees day-to-day operations, scheduling, ordering, onboarding, and staff management, allowing the current owners to spend only a few hours per week on the business.

The location is well maintained, fully equipped, professionally managed, and positioned in a strong retail and residential corridor. Up to 50% seller financing may be available for a qualified buyer, making this a compelling opportunity for an owner-operator, existing franchisee, or investor looking for an established operation with management already in place.

Facilities & Assets
Approximately 1,400 square feet in an established shopping center serving an affluent Richland County neighborhood. The center is connected to a residential apartment community and benefits from a strong mix of surrounding retail, dining, residential density, and nearby institutional demand.

The store features a modern open-kitchen layout, customer ordering and waiting area, commercial baking and production equipment, refrigeration, mixers, ovens, display equipment, and recently added beverage equipment. The premises are clean and well maintained.
Market Outlook / Competition
The business serves an established and affluent Richland County trade area with a strong mix of residential, retail, institutional, university, and military demand. Its proximity to a major South Carolina university creates access to students, faculty, athletic programs, housing services, events, and institutional catering opportunities.

The business has also developed relationships outside traditional retail traffic, including university departments, local military organizations, catering customers, and community partners. These relationships differentiate the location from a typical dessert retail operation and provide additional sources of recurring and large-volume orders.
Opportunities for Growth
A new owner has several opportunities to build on the existing foundation, including expanding relationships with additional university departments, athletic programs, student organizations, military groups, corporate catering customers, and community events.

Additional growth opportunities include increasing off-site pop-ups, expanding local business development efforts, taking advantage of new franchisor products and initiatives, and potentially extending operating hours. Because daily operations are already handled by an experienced management team, an engaged buyer could devote additional time to marketing, catering, and relationship development rather than rebuilding store operations.
