Business Description
This established gourmet cookie franchise presents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey location within one of the nation's fastest-growing dessert brands. Opened in 2024, the business has quickly established itself as a high-performing operation, benefiting from strong brand recognition, an attractive modern buildout, and a loyal customer base.
Located in the heart of one of Chicago's most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods, the business enjoys exceptional visibility, heavy pedestrian traffic, and a dense mix of residential, retail, dining, and entertainment destinations that drive consistent customer demand. The prime urban location has been a key contributor to the shop's strong early performance and continued growth potential.
The facility features approximately 1,200 square feet of efficiently designed space, complete with newer equipment, premium finishes, and an operational layout built to support high-volume service. A long-term lease is in place through August 2029, providing stability and peace of mind for a new owner.
Known for its oversized gourmet cookies, rotating weekly flavor offerings, and powerful social media presence, the franchise continues to attract a broad customer base and generate strong brand loyalty. The business operates with trained staff and established systems already in place, allowing for a seamless transition and making it suitable for either an owner-operator or a semi-absentee owner.
A new owner will benefit from bypassing the significant time, expense, and uncertainty associated with developing a new franchise location. With the buildout complete, operations established, and franchise support available, this business offers an attractive opportunity to step into a growing concept in a premier Chicago market.
Opportunities to acquire established locations within this rapidly expanding franchise system are limited, making this an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs, investors, or existing franchise operators seeking a proven, turnkey business with continued upside potential.
