A Tropical Delight – Affordable Smoothie Shop

Want to own your own smoothie shop without the large up-front costs? Enjoy all the benefits of owning and running your own smoothie store without the overhead and royalties due to a franchisor. This non-franchise smoothie shop is located on a high traffic street corner in a heavily populated suburb of Cleveland. This well-established store has a dedicated, existing customer base from a nearby athletic facility and complimentary tenants in the same retail plaza. The owner spent over $75,000 in build-out costs for a customized space with a fireplace, serving counter and large seating area, accented with beautiful hardwood floors and contemporary decor. This is a great opportunity for an owner-operator, or to add supplemental income to your household.

The store primarily offers a variety of tropical smoothies and coffee. A new line of health supplements were recently added to the menu and have received a great response from clients. However, this store is underperforming compared to most other smoothie stores and does not offer any food. You have the opportunity to expand sales and drive the top line with marketing campaigns to attract new customers and by offering healthy food choices to current customers. By adding food to the menu, your profits could potentially double!

The current owner is willing to provide two weeks of training. Additionally, an employee, also with four years experience working at the store, is willing to provide ongoing training after the sale. Don't miss out on this great opportunity; the busy season is just around the corner!

Competition:
Competition is minimal within a ten mile radius and exists in the form of small ice cream stores and local delis.

Growth:
New owner could expand current sales by offering organic, pre-made wraps and salads to existing customers. Catering efforts can be expanded for showers, high school functions and athletic events.
