Business Summary:
Fully equipped, turnkey and established. Benefits from the name as it is known for quality doughnuts throughout the Seattle area. Located in a high traffic area of Seattle. Lots of workers needing a cup of coffee and a few doughnuts. Easy menu, doughnuts and espresso. Kitchen has a full hood and baking oven so menu could be expanded to include muffins, cookies, breakfast sandwiches, even cakes to list a few. Doughnut shops usually have a very, very low cost of goods to run. Meaning unlike restaurants most of the food costs associated with doughnuts is flour and sugar. Both of these main ingredients for doughnuts is very cheap to buy. The profit margins on doughnuts are very high. Seller has 9 years experience making doughnuts and running this business and she is willing to teach buyer all aspects of business. Huge upside potential with this doughnut shop, as this owner does not accept credit cards, actually turns many customers away who want to pay with credit cards, says she couldn’t be bothered with the headache of dealing with credit cards. And current owner refuses to take on and accept ongoing accounts, says they are too much work and doesn’t want to give any ongoing accounts any kind of discount. This doughnut is missing out on many money on credit card sales and money from refusing to service any type of ongoing accounts. And of course current owner is doing no advertising or marketing so here along adding a few other tasty treats to the menu and sales would see a big, big increase no doubt. This business location is very good and has the ability to feed off its neighboring businesses. If you are looking for a diamond in the rough type business, this doughnut shop has many holes under current management that if they were filled this doughnut shop could make many many money.
