NON ALCOHOLIC WINE COMPANY FOR SALE

RELOCATABLE

Owners seeking Investor Operator.  The Company has developed a high quality wine grape beverage that has never been fermented and contains no alcohol. The last four years have been spent with a food/flavor scientist and a production consultant to be sure that the product retains the health benefits and the delicious flavors inherent in wine grapes. The ingredients for the beverage are sourced in California and the production is done at an aseptic plant. 

The beverage comes in a red made predominantly from Syrah and Zinfandel grapes and the white is made from Sauvignon Blanc and a small amount of Pinot Grigio grapes. The first trial plant run in late 2009, which produced 270 cases combined. The first run sold to test markets, in the Aspen, Colorado area and to three Whole Foods Markets in the Boulder/Denver, Colorado area. Response has been very positive with multiple reorders from the three Whole Foods Markets as well as from placements in the Aspen area. Marketing will expand as soon as the company has adequate inventory to meet orders. 

The next production run of 350 cases will be in mid to late 2010. The next production of at least 1400 cases will necessitate raising a minimum of $100,000 in funding. Those productions will enable the Company to expand sales to the Whole Foods Rocky Mountain Region as well as other natural grocers in the region. Discussions have begun with food and wine distribution companies for marketing and fulfillment.

2 FRANCHISED ICE CREAM AND ESPRESSO BUSINESSES FOR SALE

Two wonderful, well known and well branded shops in two incredible towns!  These Ice Cream Shops are not only neat and tidy but create some of the best ice cream in the World.  The franchise has won numerous local and national awards and has thousands of loyal customers.  Both stores are situated amongst heavily visited shopping and dining areas with literally thousands of pedestrians passing by their doors daily.  Both stores were closed for the first quarter of 2009 to remodel and make substantial improvements adding to the efficiency of the entire operation.  Therefore, earnings are skewed for 2009 as the calendar year began April 1st.  The renovation effort in 2009 has already made an impact on revenue as first and second quarters 2010 showed record revenues over historic averages from years posting $200,000 and greater in discretionary cash flows.  Increased revenues can be attributed to the addition of an espresso and soda program, new POS systems, new catering equipment and much more.  In addition to higher revenue, the stores run at a much lower operating cost after full kitchen renovation efforts eliminated the need to transport product between stores saving on payroll, vehicle, and production expenses. A new owner needs only to have the keys handed over and they are off and running! If you love the mountains of Colorado and ever dreamed of owning a relatively simple business with great returns selling something EVERYONE loves - this is the one.
