Business description
Great opportunity to own a popular and well-known dessert franchise in Baltimore, Maryland. The business is modern, fun, and serves delicious frozen ice treats, custards and more. The unique array of flavors are regularly updated keeping the offerings fresh and interesting. The franchise has excellent brand recognition and a strong presence in the market. The business is in a high traffic, densely populated area and the busy season is upon us. There is a loyal and devoted customer base that swears by this brand as demonstrated by the growing revenue and cash flow in recent years. Why hassle with the headaches and buildout costs of starting a franchise like this from scratch when you can purchase a completely turnkey business! The owner is looking to relocate out of the area after founding this franchise location in 2021 and wants to ensure the business is in good hands moving forward. We don’t expect this opportunity to last long, so contact us today to learn more!
