Profitable, High Demand Custom Cake Shop - Motivated Seller

Boutique specialty bakery producing custom cakes for weddings, birthdays, and other special events. Started in late 2018, but founder encountered health issues and was forced to stop working, handing the reigns over to the current owners. Current owners restarted operations in May 2021. Sales have grown each month since then with zero advertising and only being open 4 days a week. Currently being operated at minimal capacity due to owner's time limitations. Absolutely no spending on advertising, social media, promotions, or sales. Potential growth opportunities abound. Extremely positive reviews, amazing customer loyalty, and outstanding word-of-mouth have allows the business to turn down more orders than it accepts and filling its schedule several weeks in advance. Most orders are initiated remotely using phone, text, and/or email. All payments are handled online. All sales are currently made-to-order with no retail component. Additional revenue opportunities exist if retail component is added, possibly ready-made cakes, cupcakes, and other treats. Existing location has retail area available which is not currently being utilized. Business is open only 4 full days a week. Expanding business hours could significantly increase sales and volume. Demand is growing but current owners will be relocating out of Texas soon for educational pursuits, and want to find a new owner that will keep the business growing and thriving.
