ABOUT THE BUSINESS:
This is a rare chance to acquire a fully built, operational franchise dessert café and eatery in one of Calgary's most dynamic urban neighbourhoods — at a price $148,500 below the seller's total verified investment of $647,500. The business opened September 2026 and offers a compelling full-service menu under a nationally recognized franchise brand: milkshakes, gourmet waffles, coffles, and crepes; an eatery menu of burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and poutines; and specialty coffees. Seven trained team members are already in place.
Current revenue of $9,000 per week reflects weekend-only operations with limited hours — the business is not yet running at full capacity. This is a significant point: an established Calgary location in the same franchise system generates revenues exceeding $25,000 per week operating on a full schedule. The path to that level of performance starts with simply opening more days and hours. The seller faces a personal family emergency and must transact quickly, creating a time-sensitive window to acquire this asset at sharply below-market pricing. Seller financing may be available for a qualified buyer.
