Clean Juice Franchise Grand Rapids, MI - In Cascade/Forest Hills!

Grand Rapids, Kent County, MI 49512-2053, US

Clean Juice Franchise Grand Rapids, MI - Premier Retail Corridor In Cascade/Forest Hills! "Priced For A Quick Sale At A Fraction Of The Cost Of Starting From Scratch" An incredible opportunity for an owner/operator to step into a fully built, professionally designed, organic juice bar franchise on one of West Michigan's most desirable retail corridors in the affluent Cascade/Forest Hills area of Grand Rapids. Clean Juice has built its reputation around serving USDA Certified Organic cold-pressed juices, smoothies, acai bowls, wraps, sandwiches, toasts, wellness shots, coffee, grab-n-go offerings and healthy lifestyle products. This popular concept appeals to today's health-conscious consumers seeking fresh, organic, convenient meals throughout the day. The café also benefits from multiple revenue channels including dine-in, takeout, online ordering, catering and 3rd-party delivery. Instead of spending months searching for real estate, negotiating leases, completing architectural plans, purchasing equipment, hiring contractors, obtaining permits and waiting through construction, you can take over this beautifully built-out café and begin operating almost immediately. Originally built less than 3 years ago, this location includes everything needed to begin operating on day one - including premium commercial equipment, custom millwork, refrigeration, prep equipment, menu boards, signage, furniture, fixtures, POS infrastructure, décor and a contemporary café buildout that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to duplicate today. Even more impressive, the opportunity is being offered for only $20,000, representing an extraordinary value compared to the cost of developing a comparable organic café from the ground up. For entrepreneurs considering opening their own smoothie or juice concept, there simply isn't a more affordable way to enter the industry with a professionally built operation already in place. The current location is currently generating ~$308,000 in annual sales and, according to the franchisor, has the demographics, visibility and customer base to achieve over $400,000 in annual revenue with an engaged owner/operator. Prime corner retail space at the highly traveled intersection of 28th St SE and Kraft Ave SE. Boasts monument signage, ample parking and easy access from one of Grand Rapids' busiest commercial intersections. Strategically located in the out lot of a busy Meijer, one of Michigan's premier grocery and general merchandise retailers, generating significant daily customer traffic for the center. Plus, near national retailers, restaurants, hotels and services further strengthening the area's retail draw. And surrounded by impressive demographics. Within a 5-mile radius are nearly 100,000 residents, ~38,000 households and median household incomes approaching $100,000, providing a highly desirable customer base with strong disposable income and consistent demand for premium health-focused food concepts. Its surrounding trade area is one of the strongest in West Michigan, featuring affluent residential neighborhoods, major employers, large hotels, medical offices, corp campuses, retail centers, fitness facilities and daily commuter traffic. This premium location enjoys outstanding visibility with more than 39,000 vehicles passing its intersection daily, providing continuous brand exposure. Plus, well positioned just minutes from I-96 and Gerald R. Ford Intl Airport, making it easily accessible to local residents, employees, commuters and visitors alike. Feel free to stop by the location as a customer first. This is a HIGHLY confidential listing, DO NOT talk to any owners, employees or patrons.

What to know about restaurant and food business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

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

Reconcile the sales — point-of-sale against bank deposits and tax returns

Cash-heavy businesses invite optimistic numbers; verify reported revenue against the processor and the returns before you trust a figure.

Read the lease like it's the deal

Remaining term, escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a restaurant; a strong concept on a non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.

Pressure-test prime cost — labor plus food

Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.

Confirm licenses and health standing transfer

Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.

Test how much rides on the owner and concept

A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.

Budget for equipment and build-out condition

Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Yes, but they're scrutinized closely because margins are thin and failures common. Verifiable cash flow, a transferable lease, and systems that run without the owner make the difference.
