About The Business
Established Local and Regional Customer Base / Strong Profits
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, award-winning frozen dessert business in Tacoma. This established destination business is known for its handcrafted, made-from-scratch products, high-quality ingredients, exceptional customer loyalty, and outstanding 4.9-star ratings on Google and Yelp.
The business generated $311,636 in gross revenue in 2025, with average annual seller’s discretionary earnings of $214,000. Sales have continued to increase despite limited seasonal operating hours, demonstrating both strong customer demand and meaningful growth potential.
The business offers an upscale alternative to mass-produced frozen desserts. Its distinctive products are created using proprietary recipes and a specialized production method developed through extensive research, industry experience, and professional training in the United States and Europe.
The sale includes a turnkey retail and production operation, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, proprietary recipes, operating procedures, copyrighted training materials, branded artwork, professional photography, trade secrets, and other intellectual property.
The current owners operate the business with the assistance of one part-time employee. Each owner averages fewer than 40 hours per week, and the seasonal schedule provides 34 days of vacation and holidays annually.
This opportunity is well suited to an experienced food-service operator, entrepreneur, family business, or strategic buyer seeking an established and profitable specialty food concept with expansion potential.
