Posted at 16:17h in by Michael Greene

Price: $275,000

Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico

Industry: Restaurants and Cafes

This Santa Fe shop is part of a growing franchise brand now operating 38 locations across eight states. The concept centers on fresh frozen treats: fruit-based, customizable, and positioned as a lighter alternative to traditional ice cream and frozen yogurt. The format is simple to operate, the margins are strong, and the customer base is loyal. The franchise relationship transfers with the sale, giving a new owner immediate brand affiliation, proven systems, and a defined territory with room to grow.

While this is still a relatively new concept, it’s built a loyal following and draws walk-in traffic. The fresh fruit-based recipes, the grab-and-go format, and the visually appealing presentation bring something fun and different to the Santa Fe market.

A buyer with appetite for multi-unit growth has a franchisor already building the infrastructure to support it. Either path starts with a business that is already open, already staffed, and already generating revenue.

The business is operated by a General Manager, with the owner dedicating approximately 5–10 hours per week primarily reviewing the books.

Potential Growth:

pportunities exist for an active owner to build on the shop’s established presence while benefiting from its simple operating model and strong margins. New savory or sweet offerings can be added to the flexible menu. The concept has also begun expanding through franchise licensing, with locations opening across New Mexico and neighboring states. Buyers interested in growth may explore additional franchised locations as the Santa Fe market continues expanding southward, where similar offerings remain limited.
