Who doesn’t love watching the show and enjoying the intoxicating aroma of handmade, freshly popped kettle corn? The smell fills the air and inevitably draws crowds from afar like a magnet. Customers rave about the gourmet quality, unique ability to choose from and mix 10+ flavors, and being able to see their product being made. Almost all get a taste and excitedly proclaim - “It is The Best I’ve ever had.” Here’s your opportunity to bring that joy to others as the next owner of this very profitable, pandemic-proof, and turn-key kettle corn business!
This franchise opened in 2016 and has maintained solid returns through very challenging economic times (COVID and Inflation). In 2022, the business did 209k in sales with 40-50% profit margins depending on labor costs. There are numerous untapped revenue opportunities, including travelling events, local bars/taprooms, and specialty products. The business comes with an established social media presence, with over 1,700 followers on social media, another 2,500+ in an email listserv, $1,000/month revenue from the website, and countless other loyal customers. Operational standards are documented, but current owner will also help implement those standards making for a smooth and successful transition!
This is not your normal mobile food business that is always traveling around to different events. You do have a complete setup that you can take to any events, but 98% of the sales in 2022 were generated at a permanent location at the North Carolina State Farmers Market. This isn’t your weekend farmer’s market and is one of Raleigh’s and North Carolina’s biggest attractions that is open to the public every day of the week. The market recently completed renovations on the building [new siding, electricity etc.] and is a secure facility, with 24/7 vendor access and all equipment and supplies remain in place helping to avoid daily setups and breakdowns.
Historically, the State Farmers Market receives 1.5-2 million visitors per year but that number is expected to increase with the population growth in Raleigh and multiple new entrances including to Raleigh’s Dix Park (https://dixpark.org/master-plan). Dix Park is a 308-acre park located directly behind Raleigh's Farmers Market currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation set to attract millions of visitors each year.
This business is completely ready to go with anything and everything you need from Point Of Sale systems, T-shirts, signage, tools, equipment, supplies, etc… It even comes with enough popcorn kernels to do over $10,000 in sales! You will have to work hard, but who wouldn’t want to be their own boss, creating their own hours and building their own team while making kettle corn and enjoying the outdoors, great neighbors and delightful customers day after day? Do you think you have what it takes to continue the Uncle Dave’s tradition in Raleigh and benefit from the untapped possibilities.
