The narrative

A look inside Thriving Dessert Franchise Available in Prime Charleston Market.

This is a unique chance to take over a well-established dessert franchise known nationally, situated in one of the most sought-after retail areas of Charleston. The business has earned a stellar reputation for its operational excellence, exceptional customer service, high product quality, and cleanliness. It has received notable regional accolades from the franchisor and is backed by a skilled management team that oversees daily operations. Last year, the franchise reported around $1.24 million in revenue and approximately $308,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, with a three-year weighted SDE of about $325,000. The current owner is minimally involved, averaging just two hours per week for oversight of ordering and payroll, while the dedicated team manages all operational tasks, including scheduling and inventory. This presents a compelling opportunity for both owner-operators looking for growth potential and investors seeking a business with a solid management structure. The franchisor requires buyers to show liquidity of around 20% of the purchase price, and traditional SBA financing is not available, making this opportunity ideal for cash buyers or those using alternative financing methods.
