Excellent opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, established ice cream and frozen yogurt shop in one of West Vancouver's best-known waterfront communities.
Operating in this location since 1980, the shop is steps from the BC Ferries terminal and waterfront and serves a mix of local residents, families, tourists and visitors to the area.
Offered at $49,000 CAD, including the existing business setup, owned commercial equipment, furniture, POS system, branding, supplier relationships and inventory at closing, subject to final agreement.
This is an attractive opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator, couple or family looking to enter the food-service business without the significant cost and time involved in finding a location, completing a buildout and purchasing a full commercial equipment package.
The current owners have intentionally operated the business on a reduced schedule rather than maximizing opening hours through additional employee payroll. The business has also had limited marketing and social-media activity during the current year, leaving several areas for a new owner to develop.
