A rare opportunity to acquire a high-volume specialty retail bakery in the California market that has consistently generated over $2 million in annual revenue for three consecutive years. This is the top-performing unit of a growing licensed brand concept, and it operates today with minimal owner involvement — a seasoned on-site general manager with several years of tenure handles day-to-day operations, supported by shift supervisors and a structured floor team. The product lineup centers on Filipino-inspired specialty bread rolls, which account for roughly two-thirds of sales, with gourmet donuts rounding out the remainder.
The store operates seven days a week in a well-trafficked shopping center, serving a loyal local customer base — approximately 60% of revenue comes from repeat visitors — while also benefiting from proximity to a major regional airport that drives meaningful out-of-market foot traffic not seen at comparable locations. The business recently completed a significant operational improvement: a centralized production facility now manufactures the core bread products for all locations in the brand network, shifting what was previously in-store baking labor entirely off the local payroll. The result is a leaner cost structure, reduced waste, and eliminated inventory shortfalls on high-demand days.
A buyer steps into this upgraded operating model from day one without having to engineer it themselves. Staff headcount has been reduced by roughly half, and new employees typically reach full productivity within days. Financially, the store posted $2.
1M in 2023 and $2.3M in 2024. Revenue in 2025 came in at approximately $1.
9M, reflecting a transitional period during which ownership directed capital and attention toward building out the central production facility — not a decline in customer demand. Current-year financials reflecting the post-transition performance are available in the data room. Cost of goods has remained near 20% of revenue throughout, yielding a gross margin above 75%.
The business is structured as a licensed location. The buyer acquires all assets and the lease free of seller debt, then enters a standard license agreement on terms consistent with the broader operator network: 5% of revenue in exchange for brand rights, proprietary recipes, centrally produced product, and brand-level marketing support. The lease carries roughly two years remaining with modest annual escalations, and rent represents approximately 4% of sales — among the lowest in the brand's portfolio.
Approximately $350,000 in equipment is included in the sale. The sellers are divesting this location to redeploy capital toward the central production facility and to support continued network growth. They remain actively connected to all operators post-sale and are motivated to place the business with a capable owner-operator who will maintain its standing within the brand.
Seller financing may be considered for qualified buyers.
