Established & Profitable Donut Shop | Strong Repeat & Wholesale Demand | SBA Pre-Qualified

West Suburbs of Chicago

This long-established donut shop has served its community for decades and is known for donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee. The business benefits from a loyal repeat customer base, consistent wholesale and institutional accounts, and experienced staff in place. Operations are structured and documented, making this an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator or a buyer seeking a staffed, process-driven food business.

The shop operates Tuesday through Sunday, with Mondays intentionally closed based on historical demand. Revenue is driven by strong morning traffic, habitual purchasing patterns, and recurring bulk orders from established customers.

Operations & Transferability

The business operates with clearly defined roles and standardized procedures:

  • Written and standardized recipes
  • Hands-on training for new employees
  • Daytime manager and experienced bakers in place
  • Kitchen and evening operations run independently
  • Predictable scheduling, ordering, and inventory routines

The business continues to operate smoothly when an owner is unavailable, supported by management and experienced staff. A new owner could further reduce day-to-day involvement by delegating additional tasks to trained employees.

Staffing & Owner Involvement

  • Staffed appropriately during peak morning hours, with reduced staffing during slower periods
  • Evening baking operations run independently
  • Current owner involvement reflects ownership preference rather than operational necessity
  • Opportunity to replace a portion of owner hours with staff or management

Demand & Customer Base

  • Approximately 150 transactions per day on average
  • Majority of revenue generated from repeat customers
  • Predictable daily morning traffic supported by habitual purchasing patterns
  • Increased demand around holidays and local community events

Wholesale & Recurring Revenue

The business serves multiple recurring and institutional customers, providing consistent demand beyond retail traffic throughout the year.

Key Highlights

  • Long-established donut shop with decades of operating history
  • Strong repeat and wholesale demand
  • Documented systems and trained staff
  • Turnkey operation with growth potential

Financial Summary

  • Profitable operation
  • Financials available upon execution of an NDA
