This business is the only bakery in town except for the 2 food stores. Been in the same location for 58 years and the same Owner for the last 27 years. The Owner wants to get ready for retirement. He will help a qualified Buyer with Owner financing, and training with his recipes.

Note that advertising and promotion can be increased - something that a new owner will quickly address. As far as the SDE is concerned, 2024's SDE was+/- $57,000. New Owner's SDE is projected to be +/- $53,000 - $60,000. This projection depends on how the new Owner plans to run the business and other factors like advertising and bookkeeping. But this projection is a good starting point for a budget in a "business plan". There is 3 years left in the current term of the lease plus there are 2 - 5-year options. Base rent is $2,391.67/mo ($11.25 psf) The nets are $7.75 psf +/- $1,541.67/mo. Total rent is $3,933.34/mo or $18.50 psf including all nets. Now (2025) $4,117/mo incl nets This is an interesting opportunity to get an established bakery business with an Owner who wants to make sure you get off to a good start. The town has good schools, it's near a lake and the area has all kinds of shopping, dining, hospitals, and amenities. Can't ask for a nicer place to live, raise a family and have fun when not working. Support & Training: Several weeks to learn the recipes and how to bake the items plus training as needed to learn how to use the equipment that may be new to the Buyer. The Owner will even consider some consulting time if the New Owner wants. Owner is very flexible and accommodating. If qualified, the Owner would consider financing 50% at 7% interest over +/- 3-5 years. One more thing...I forgot to mention. Also included in the sale is a 15K, 35KW, 3 Phase Diesel Generator. Just because the electricity goes out, doesn't mean the breads, cakes and pastries aren't going to be made!
