Food Manufacturer & Co-Packer—Scale Fast with Excess Capacity

St Louis, MO, US

This established food manufacturer produces its own recognized line of products and also serves as a co-packer for several well-known brands. The facility is equipped with modern, automated systems that provide significant excess capacity, allowing production to scale—potentially doubling or more—within the existing footprint. Additional growth opportunities exist beyond simply increasing current product volume. While the business experienced recent pressure from rising material and labor costs, operations have stabilized and profitability is improving in 2025 compared to 2024. A skilled team, proven processes, and longstanding customer relationships are already in place. The business is priced near the value of its equipment, creating a compelling opportunity for an operator interested in making targeted investments to unlock further growth. The seller is committed to a smooth transition and is willing to provide extensive training. They are also open to staying on in a long-term role under the right arrangement.

Mediterranean Food Market

Altamonte Springs, Seminole County, FL, US

A turnkey Mediterranean grocery and specialty-food market that locals seek out — known for its in-house butcher counter and the imported staples the big chains don't carry. Years of word of mouth have built a loyal, repeat following, with no advertising or website behind it. It's a simple business to step into: a single owner with one part-time helper and low fixed costs. Because the included equipment and inventory cover most of the price, a buyer is paying for an established, profitable operation — not goodwill alone. The owner is retiring and will help the next owner get up to speed.

Caterer of Daily School Lunches on Oahu, Hawaii

Honolulu, Honolulu County, HI, US

This Oahu catering service specializes in preparing and delivering daily healthy school lunches from a central commercial kitchen to over 20 public charter and private schools, including preschools. NAIC Code: 722310 – Food Service Contractor Operating since 2016, this highly successful and profitable business has grown consistently every year The company prepares and delivers nutritious, balanced, USDA-compliant meals … healthy meals that kids like and actually eat! They serve only fresh produce and prioritize locally grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. The business is operated out of a 3,500 sq. ft. leased commercial kitchen. There is a loading dock (flat, no curb), dry storage, cold storage, and frozen storage, with additional dry storage nearby. Within two blocks of the freeway. Monthly rent is $3,200 (all inclusive). Lease ends June 2027, but landlord is open to unlimited extensions. Staff & Operations: In addition to the full-time owner-operator, there are 10 part-time employees. They produce and deliver about 900 lunches daily to 24 schools. (Production will likely increase to at least 1,000 daily lunches starting with the Fall 2026 semester.) The staff works Monday-Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 12 noon, with school holidays and vacation days off. Marketing & Opportunities: The reputation is excellent. Growth has been 100% by word of mouth. Parents of children at public charter and private schools care deeply about food quality and are willing to pay a premium. These schools do not have on-site kitchens and need to work with a caterer. With creative marketing and proactive sales activities, a new owner can readily increase sales beyond the typical annual growth of 20% or more, year over year. The company is one of just a few lunch vendors on Oahu, and private school enrollment continues to grow. In addition, new preschools are starting up due to recent legislative action. Financial Data: 75% of revenue comes from parents paying for lunches in advance for the month or semester; the other 25% comes from schools that pay directly for students’ lunches (billed at end of month, net 30). Sales grow consistently, year-over-year: 2023 – $854,956 2024 – $1,063,460 2025 – $1,276, 137 Net Operating Income (calculated before add-backs for the owner’s salary and other compensation): 2023 – $94,000 2024 – $211,340 2025 – $240,729 Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) for 2024 and 2025 are estimated to be about $420,000 each year. (A detailed analysis can be shared with a serious buyer, subject to verification during due diligence.) Training & Transition: The seller will be available for a reasonable period to train and assist the new owner in taking over the business – specific terms to be negotiated. The Transaction: The seller is open to all reasonable offers and terms. The business (not the corporation) is being offered for an initial asking price of $999,000 (subject to increase if certain new business opportunities materialize in the summer of 2026). This includes all assets, tangible and intangible (including but not limited to FF&E, name, website, customer relationships, etc.), except it does not include cash, accounts receivable, or accounts payable*. (*Seller is responsible for A/P and payroll through the date of the Closing.) Nor does it include the corporate entity. Exclusive Broker: Tim Cunha, J.D.

Established in 2011, this authentic Chilean restaurant is a rare, turnkey opportunity in a high-traffic Miami location. With strong, stable annual revenue and a completely debt-free balance sheet, it offers a new owner a fully built-out, operational restaurant ready to run from day one. WHY IT STANDS OUT: • 15 years of continuous operation and proven market acceptance • Consistent, stable revenue with steady year-over-year growth • 100% debt-free with healthy cash reserves • Fully equipped commercial kitchen and dining space — all furniture, fixtures, and equipment paid off • Authentic Chilean cuisine — a distinctive, underserved niche with little direct competition • Loyal, repeat customer base built over more than a decade THE OPPORTUNITY: A buyer acquires a turnkey operation backed by real assets, not just goodwill.

The proven concept is also a strong candidate for a second location. IDEAL BUYER: Well-suited to an owner-operator, restaurateur, or investor seeking an established brand with real assets, steady revenue, and room to grow. Miami's vibrant Latin American community and steady tourism support ongoing demand. The current owner will provide hands-on training and a smooth transition.

Vero Beach, FL, US

Profitable, owner-operated bagel bakery and deli on one of Vero Beach's busiest commercial corridors. Bagels are baked fresh on site every morning and built into breakfast and lunch sandwiches around a Boar's Head deli program, serving a loyal mix of local regulars and seasonal winter visitors.

Simple, repeatable model run by one working owner: a focused breakfast-and-lunch menu, a short supplier list, and a Clover POS. The majority of sales run through card, giving clean, verifiable revenue for diligence. Occupancy cost is low, which keeps fixed costs light and protects margins. Well regarded locally and featured on area "best bagels" lists. Turnkey operation with clear, largely untapped room to grow. Full financials available to qualified buyers after signing a confidentiality agreement.

What to know about food manufacturing acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating food manufacturing acquisitions.

Co-packer or brand owner is the threshold question

Determine whether the business owns brands or manufactures for others. A branded maker controls its margins, its shelf relationships, and its marketing risk; a co-packer or private-label manufacturer trades brand risk for customer-concentration risk. These are different valuation problems, and the median earnings near 140,000 mean little until you know which model generates it.

Food-safety certification and regulatory standing are non-negotiable

Verify food-safety registration, certifications, and inspection history first. Food manufacturers operate under federal and state food-safety regimes, and many customers require specific third-party certifications. A lapse or recall history is both a liability and a barrier to keeping the customers who depend on the certification.

Customer and channel concentration cut both ways

Get revenue by customer and by channel before trusting the top line. A co-packer with one anchor customer or a brand dependent on a single retailer is fragile; diversified channels are more durable. With a revenue base near 920,000, the concentration profile, not the revenue figure, tells you how risky the earnings are.

Equipment, capacity, and real estate shape the upside

Assess production capacity and whether the facility can grow with you. Roughly 18 percent of these businesses own their real estate, and processing equipment is both valuable and specialized. Understand current utilization, the cost to add capacity, and whether the facility is the constraint on growth.

Margins and shelf life dictate working capital

Model the working capital tied up in ingredients, inventory, and shelf life. Food businesses carry perishable inputs, inventory cycles, and sometimes seasonal demand, all of which lock up cash. Understand spoilage, shrink, and the cash conversion cycle, and size the working capital you must fund.

Seller participation is moderate and useful

Use the moderate seller-financing norm to bridge transition risk. About 18 percent of these sellers advertise financing, which gives room to structure a note or earnout that keeps the seller engaged through recipe transfer, customer introductions, and certification continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Verify the business's food-safety registration, its third-party certifications, and its full inspection and recall history, and verify what transfers under new ownership. Many customers will only buy from certified suppliers, so a certification gap can cost you the very accounts that justify the price.
