Business Summary:
The husband and wife owners of this lovely, classic malt shop and café had always harbored the dream of having their own business. While they both worked in corporate jobs and raised their family, they continued to formulate their plan. In 2003 the by then empty nesters achieved their dream, put their plan into action, and opened for business. After five years of hard work and steady growth the business is flourishing. The sellers have greatly enjoyed these last few years, making friends and building a loyal clientele that continues to grow each year. However, time catches us all, and before the sellers "take up the rocker" they have decided they would like to set out and see the world that lies beyond West Michigan. Their life choice can be your great opportunity.
This attractive malt shop and cafe is located in a newer strip mall in an upscale Grand Rapids (MI) suburb. Beautifully decorated and meticulously maintained, the shop looks as good as the day it opened. Serving breakfast and lunch, the café boasts a diverse menu offering produced from its well equipped grill area. With seating inside for 26 and seasonal patio seating that can accommodate 24, this café can handle a substantial mealtime rush, although carry out and delivery is a growing element of the business and certainly an area of opportunity for future growth.
Did I mention the ice cream? Displaying 32 flavors of a branded, high end ice cream - each flavor is offered up in a variety of sundaes, flurries, shakes, malts or simply by the scoop - no mortal can resist!
The only self-professed shortcoming of the sellers is their lack of marketing knowledge and self promotion abilities. They have relied on minimal advertising and word of mouth to grow their business. Effective marketing in this rapidly growing community will surely pay dividends for a new owner.
This independent (it is not a franchise) business is being offered at $179,000 which includes all of the furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory. In addition, the sellers will carry a meaningful seller note for a qualified buyer.
