Outlook:
The Company’s products are currently in over 2,900 Walmart stores, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Sam’s Club and more. The specialty cake brand (branded under the proprietary brand and trademark) has a strong outlook. Seasonal demand outpaces the ability to make cakes, though the facility has added capacity and now has more capacity. Seller believes that sales could grow by over 50% within less than 2 years by driving focus on sales along with building better efficiencies and output of the product. Cake sales of the specialty branded cakes for the last four months of 2017 were over 67,000. Cake sales of the specialty branded cakes in the last four months of 2018 were over 127,000. The company has been without a sales rep for several years. With a new owner focused on growing the lines and being hands-on, the pieces are in place to expand.
The retail store brand Is a well-established brand and name for over 35 years. They have recently rolled out a new fresh churned, from scratch, ice cream. The opportunity for ice cream growth is significant and the improvement is like Domino’s redoing their pizza. Several stores perform well, several do not. To improve it is the owner’s opinion that a new owner/operator who will be hands-on and not an absentee owner in the sense of the new owner being in the stores on a regular basis offers the help the stores grow revenues and profits.
The retail store brand is franchise ready; The groundwork has been laid prepared for expanding the franchising of stores, with stores now operating as franchises. The franchise method allows owner-operators to have their own stores and expansion of the product line with the parent company (Mfg. of ice cream and baked goods) supplying products and collect the franchise royalty.
Growth & Expansion: The owner feels sales can be increase significantly with an individual who places an emphasis in sales and marketing and puts in place someone with selling experience, as noted they currently do not have a sales person as the owner has been focusing on franchising. The Commercial Bakery can realistically handle more than doubling to tripling the volume for franchises. The Commercial Bakery has been and is operating five days a week with a single one shift production.
