Fast-Casual Dessert Chain

Franchise rights to a west coast Florida territory for a deep-dish cookie concept, with six trading locations and three further sites already paid for and ready to build.

Business Highlights

  • Franchise rights for the west coast of Florida territory included in the sale
  • Six operating locations, plus three additional sites already paid for and ready for buildout
  • Small-footprint store model built around a single core product
  • Locations sit near high-traffic grocery anchors
  • 75 employees across the existing six sites

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • What are the franchise terms, and what does the franchisor require to approve a transfer of territory rights?
  • Three sites are paid for but not built. What is the remaining buildout cost and timeline?
  • How do the six locations perform individually, and are any loss-making?
  • What are the lease terms across the six sites and the three pending?
  • Seventy-five employees across a spread-out territory needs district management. What exists today?

Opportunities

  • Three paid-for sites mean the next three openings need buildout capital only, not site acquisition or franchise fees
  • Territory rights for an entire coast are a defensible position rather than a single-store business
  • A single core product keeps operations simple and training short across many sites
  • Small footprints near grocery anchors carry lower rent than a full food-service format
