The business is perfect for someone that has an understanding of baking and who is looking to be an involved owner. In addition to the owner, there is a part time baker on staff and the front of house staff are also cross trained to help with production. The recipes and systems function well and are time tested so this could be a turn-key opportunity for the next owner. The 1000sf facility has a compact but efficient baking kitchen with a Type II Baking Hood. It is fully outfitted with large convection ovens, proofing cabinets, and stand mixers, plus all of the related equipment needed to produce the volume and consistency needed to supply the bakery café and to support the wholesale accounts. The wholesale sales have been secondary to the retail bakery sales, so this represents an area the next owner could further develop if they wanted to grow in that direction. The 2019 Gross Sales were a little over $415k and the SDCF was approx $84k. The business did well through 2020 considering all the pandemic restrictions and difficulties to navigate.
