Summary Description- Ice Cream Business For Sale

Highly popular and profitable ice cream store for sale. Ben and Jerry's is one of the best run franchises in the US. This location is one of the best imaginable: in the heart of the downtown commercial and tourist district. Foot traffic here can't be beat! Ben & Jerry's produces a wide variety of super-premium ice cream and ice cream novelties, using high-quality ingredients including milk and cream from family farmers who do not treat their cows with the synthetic hormone rBGH. From regular coffee and muffin corporate customers in the morning to a daylong stream of visitors from nearby hotels and conventions, captive business here has been so strong that the potential for catering has been largely untapped-but offers huge opportunities.  Based on improved trend thus far, seller projects 2010 sales of $250,000 and a working owner's income of $77,000.

General Information
Facilities: 430 square feet of highly visible and well equipped public service space, with another 200 SF of dry storage below.
Growth and Expansion: Many Ben & Jerry's franchises produce a substantial amount of business from catering ice cream and cakes for parties and events. Because of its downtown location, this shop could be a top-performer in this regard. The current owner has been content with walk-in business and has only responded to inbound catering requests. Increase the marketing of this service and all other offerings and watch the sales grow!
Support/Training: All new Ben and Jerry's franchisees must attend Scoop University, where they will learn how to run a successful ice cream store. In addition, the seller is willing to provide some on-site training.
