Thriving Specialty Dessert & Beverage Brand – 5 Units

Business Overview:

Here’s a rare chance to step into a highly successful and modern brand in the booming specialty dessert and beverage space. With multiple profitable units already running, this business brings a fresh twist to two exploding food categories—bubble tea and rolled ice cream—using organic ingredients and inventive recipes that stand out in the market.

Started by two innovative founders with a passion for premium quality, this business grew quickly by doing things differently—no powders, no shortcuts. Just real tea, real fruit, and real value. The brand has earned a strong reputation, loyal customers, and thousands of positive reviews. It also has the systems in place for hands-off ownership or easy scaling. And this independent, none-franchised brand is well positioned to become a franchise brand of it's own.

Why Buy This Business?
•Unique Concept: Freshly made bubble tea and rolled ice cream under one brand—no local competition does both.
•Proven Locations: All five stores are in high-traffic areas with loyal customer bases and strong foot traffic.
•Fully Staffed & Systemized: Each store runs with its own manager or shift leaders; owners focus on big-picture operations.
•Solid Financials: 2024 revenue was nearly $4M with $460K in adjusted net profit.
•Easy to Expand: Growth potential through franchising, catering, and new product offerings.

Industry Overview

The U.S. specialty beverage market (bubble tea included) is booming—estimated at over $2 billion and growing at a rate of 8-10% per year. Frozen dessert sales, including ice cream, are also rising, with rolled ice cream gaining popularity for its social-media-worthy presentation and fresh customization. Younger consumers are demanding healthier, organic, and experiential treats—this brand checks all those boxes.

This is more than just a small business. It’s a mini-chain with brand power, operational excellence, and a strong digital presence (including mobile app ordering and loyalty rewards). For an investor or entrepreneur ready to scale or franchise, this is a golden opportunity.
