Established Franchise Soda & Cookie Shop | Semi-Absentee Opportunity

A rare opportunity to acquire a thriving specialty beverage franchise featuring signature soda drinks and gourmet cookies in the rapidly expanding soda shop market. This turnkey operation in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, built in 2022, offers exceptional growth potential for both semi-absentee investors and hands-on operators. The business boasts a loyal customer base as the first dirty soda concept in the Missouri market, generating substantial annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings. The business generated $395,211 in annual revenue with $50,000 in seller's discretionary earnings, demonstrating solid unit economics with gross margins consistently between 71-74%. The sale includes franchise rights to two additional unopened locations in Missouri, significantly increasing the potential for expansion and market dominance. With current owners working only 20 hours per week combined, this semi-absentee model offers flexibility and a strong foundation for a new owner to build upon. Significant untapped potential exists through conservative marketing to date. Opportunities include marketing recovery to previous levels, extending operations to Sundays, developing a catering program, and expanding into the two unopened territories. The business is ideal for entrepreneurs seeking a semi-absentee investment with established brand recognition or operators ready to maximize growth through increased marketing focus. Seller financing is available, and the current owners are selling to focus on other business ventures, creating an exceptional opportunity for a dedicated buyer to unlock the full potential of this profitable concept in a growing market segment.
