BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Ideal Business for E-2 Investor Visa Candidates

Mature, franchise-ready, established family-focused artisan popsicle/paleta brand with both liquid retail (mobile freezer carts) and wholesale (hotels and events) businesses. We are a Florida-licensed wholesale frozen dessert manufacturer and certified pasteurization facility and we manufacture and sell the highest-quality product in our category available anywhere, using proprietary recipes created by Italian state-certified gelato masters. Our products include pops for people as well as their furry friends (puppy-pops) and alcohol-infused cocktail pops for adult events. Every one of our products is all-natural and made from scratch (no mixes or artificial ingredients) using the best possible ingredients from all over the world. This is truly "fine dining on a stick." Our points of sale are in high foot-traffic luxury retail areas that draw a sophisticated clientele with large disposable incomes. We carefully select our personnel and then train them to standard. Our philosophy is that an exceptional product deserves exceptional customer service, and this is underscored by the fact that nearly 60% of business is from repeat customers, even in high tourist areas. The company uses written Standard Operating Procedures for manufacturing and sales, has trademarked its packaging, logo and motto, has GS1 UPC codes for all products, sells its own-branded spring water and has a strong social-media presence. It has excellent development potential as a national brand pending suitable capital investment to develop the network. Serious inquiries from principals only. NO BROKERS OR AGENTS, PLEASE.

Facilities
Turn-key, fully licensed wholesale frozen dessert manufacturer with a Florida DERM-approved oil-water separator system. Consistent 100 point FDA inspection results. All manufacturing, storage and shipping equipment (including freezers, molds, mixers, tables, ingredient bins, refrigerators, pallet racks, packaging system, ingredients, finished product, etc). Sale includes all brand intellectual property (trademarks, recipes, know-how, etc).
Competition
Our company targets the upper-end of the frozen dessert market with high retail price-points and correspondingly strong gross margins. There are no competitors who produce a product of similar quality.
Growth & Expansion
Brand is franchise-ready with a strong national retail growth potential that will require vision and investment to grow. Significant local and regional-market expansion potential in both retail and wholesale channels. We have a sophisticated US-based and international clientele that is exposed to our product and is constantly asking when we will start selling in their home markets, including previous discussions to bring our product to the Persian Gulf and Romania.
Financing
Cash sale
Support & Training
Will train a new owner(s) to manufacture product and operate the business on a variable-duration, fee-based consulting arrangement to be agreed at time of sale. This consulting arrangement can be anywhere from 1 to 6 months.
Reason for Selling
Foreign-based elder care issues require relocation in the near to medium term.
