Description
Offered at $250,000 for a fast transaction, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey U.S. beverage canning/manufacturing operation at a major discount to estimated replacement cost ($1M+). The business has operated for 7 years with established workflows, suppliers, customer relationships, and production infrastructure already in place—ready to run from day one and scale with focused sales execution. This is more than equipment—it’s a complete operating platform for a buyer who wants to enter or expand in contract manufacturing (co-pack), private label, or custom-labeled beverage programs. Key Highlights *Asking Price: $500,000 (priced for speed) *Replacement Cost: Estimated $1M+ to build today *Capacity: Up to ~10 million cans/year (dependent on product specs and production schedule) *Facility: Approximately 7,000–8,000 SF indoor production/warehouse *Land/Yard: Approximately 1 acre (excellent for storage and future expansion) *Lease: Approx. $3,500/month (5-year rolling structure) *Customers: Mix of branded and private-label accounts (details under NDA) *IP Included: Registered trademarks and brand assets *Equipment: Purchased new and lightly used *Team: Employees expected to stay post-transaction (manager + production staff) *Seller is also agreeable to a 5-year non-compete in California. What’s Included in the Sale, A turnkey asset and business sale including: *Production equipment and line assets *Established suppliers and operating processes (SOP-driven) *Transferable customer relationships (under NDA) *Trademarks and brand assets *Staff continuity (factory manager + production support) Products & Services, Current operations support: *Canned water and compatible canned beverage formats *Private label / co-packing services for third parties *Custom label beverage programs for corporate/promotional clients From an equipment standpoint, the line can support a broad range of canned beverages. Any regulated categories (e.g., alcohol) would require the buyer to obtain appropriate licensing and compliance approvals. The Real Opportunity: Commercial Upside (Not Operational Risk) The operation is established—the main bottleneck has been sales and marketing. Due to the owner’s relocation needs, marketing has been near zero and there has been no dedicated sales team, leaving clear upside for a buyer who executes. High-potential growth paths include: *Contract manufacturing / co-pack for branded beverage companies seeking reliable U.S. production partners *Private label production for agencies, hospitality groups, and retail programs *Custom-labeled beverages for corporate events, promotions, employee programs, and gifting *Inbound + outbound sales engine (basic website, lead capture, targeted outreach, broker/agency partnerships) Transition & Permitting Seller will provide training and transition support (10 hours/week for 4 weeks). The business also has strong local relationships that may help facilitate smoother operational continuity and permit transfer processes (subject to agency requirements and buyer qualifications).

Market & Competition
The business competes with: *Regional co-packers with long lead times / high MOQs *Larger national manufacturers that often deprioritize smaller runs Competitive advantage: turnkey production platform + flexible private label capability + available capacity + large yard space for growth and logistics.
Growth Opportunities
The main bottleneck has been sales and marketing—the owner is relocating and has had minimal marketing effort and no dedicated sales team. A buyer who adds outbound business development (co-pack/private label outreach, agency/corporate programs, and basic inbound marketing) can increase utilization and revenue quickly.
