Competition has increased in the last few years as the organic and vegan concepts have continued to develop larger customer bases, however this business has created a unique niche for itself and captured a market with limited other options.
The business has significant growth potential. As the business is still maturing, the customer base continues to grow. A new owner may increase operating hours, expand the dinner menu offering or consider a beer & wine license to increase revenues. Additionally, the catering segment is fairly new and has unlimited growth opportunities. The business also has a retail offering of prepackaged products and merchandise that can be further promoted, especially via online channels not currently utilized.
