Deal Alert: Award-Winning Breakfast & Gift Shop – $3.88M Revenue

📍 Location: Canada
💰 Asking Price: $3.5M CAD + inventory (~$250K)
📊 Revenue: $3.88M CAD | Seller’s Earnings (SDE): $1.02M CAD (26% margin)

🌟 Why This Business is Great:

✔ Strong Brand & Reputation – This isn’t just another diner. It has TV features, rave reviews, and a loyal customer base built over 25+ years. A recognized brand makes customer acquisition easier and increases pricing power.

✔ Multiple Revenue Streams – While 86% of revenue comes from food service, the 14% retail/gift shop segment has untapped potential, especially through wholesale and e-commerce.

✔ Real Estate Optionality – The main location can be purchased separately, providing control over future costs and asset appreciation.

✔ Tourism-Driven Revenue – Heavy summer foot traffic means strong peak season sales, but that also means seasonality needs to be managed effectively.

✔ Debt-Free Business on Closing – The owner is clearing $1.5M in debt before selling, ensuring a buyer steps into a clean financial structure with strong cash flow.

🚀 Growth Opportunities

🔹 Wholesale Expansion – The brand’s handcrafted jams are a natural fit for premium grocery stores. Packaging and distribution partnerships could create a strong secondary revenue stream.

🔹 Franchise Potential – This is a proven, repeatable concept. With the right franchise model, the brand could scale into new markets without the heavy operational burden of corporate-owned locations.

🔹 E-commerce Play – Selling jams and branded products online can diversify revenue and generate year-round sales, mitigating seasonality risks.

🔹 Corporate Catering & Private Events – Restaurants with strong brands can monetize space for private events, catering, and brand partnerships, driving high-margin revenue.

🔍 My Analysis: This is a well-established, profitable business with a strong brand, multiple revenue streams, and a solid 26% margin. The asking price of 3.4x SDE is reasonable, considering its longevity and growth potential. However, it currently lacks a General Manager, so a buyer must be hands-on or hire leadership. The seasonal nature of the business means revenue dips in the winter, but expanding wholesale, e-commerce, and catering could provide year-round stability. With the right strategy, this can be more than just a restaurant—it could become a nationally recognized brand with both physical and digital sales.
