Businesses for Sale

The Company was founded in 2019 as a premium cookie provider and opened their first retail bakery in 2021. Headquartered in metro-Atlanta, GA, the Company has quickly validated their unique business model and has positioned the business well for franchising. They have two company-owned stores that operate in high-traffic locations and offer fresh-baked cookies daily. They currently use one location to supply cookies to the other location, but the growth model is to have future locations capable of their own on-site dough preparation and baking using cost-effective assets to minimize the start-up and operating costs. They offer more than 50 different cookie flavors and rotate them monthly as well as seasonally to incent repeat customer visits. They have ~13 employees and are poised to build on their success from walk-ins, word-of-mouth advertising, as well as their extensive and growing following on Instagram and other social media.
