Bakery with multiple locations and cafés is seeking an external successor

The owner-operated company from Baden-Württemberg opened in the mid-1990s and is run as a medium-sized craft business. Over time, the company has grown and now has eleven locations, six of which operate as cafés and are therefore permitted to open on Sundays. The bakery offers a wide selection of bread, rolls, and cakes, with approximately 100 different fresh products available each day. Retail items such as coffee and other beverages are also sold at the locations.

Welcome to one of the first Colombian dining concepts in Germany! Are you ready for the next step in your career and interested in running an established, successful dining concept? This concept offers you a unique opportunity to become a co-owner and be part of our success story, while also reaping the rewards of our years of hard work as a successor! WHY Colombian street food? South American cuisine is growing in popularity and fills a previously untapped niche in the restaurant industry. The concept isn’t just a restaurant—we offer a unique culinary experience unlike anything else currently available in Germany. With our Colombian street food, freshly prepared and as authentic as it is in South America, we’re right on trend. This is exactly where we come in—and you can be part of this exciting journey! In this case, it would work almost like a franchise—only better—and with one very decisive advantage: You’ll take over the flagship location, which has been successfully established for five years, has a loyal customer base, and has been professionally positioned by our branding agency. For you, this means: You can hit the ground running right away without having to overcome the typical challenges of a startup! A unique advantage over “regular” franchisees. YOUR BENEFITS: - Established brand: The restaurant has built a strong reputation through successful marketing and an average Google rating of 4.7 stars. We have a loyal customer base and are ideally positioned to expand throughout Germany. - The major hurdles associated with starting a restaurant business—such as finding a location, extensive renovations, the very time-consuming process of hiring staff, establishing a system, and setting up the location—are COMPLETELY ELIMINATED. Plus, the investment is even lower. - Get off to a profitable start: You’ll benefit from 90% of the revenue and a fully equipped operation—from furniture and equipment to top-tier suppliers and an optimized system for daily operations. - Marketing support: As a branding and marketing agency, we handle the majority of your marketing for you. This allows you to focus on day-to-day operations while we regularly deliver well-thought-out marketing strategies and branding optimizations. - Proven Concept: You’ll take over an established restaurant business and benefit from our strong brand identity. Our well-thought-out marketing system and our experience pave the way for your success. - Partnership on Equal Footing: You’re a partner, but you’re not alone. We’re always on-site at the start, working hand in hand with you and supporting you in leading your team and efficiently managing the location. Our goal is to make history together—not just to establish a purely business-based partnership. WHY NOW? After five years of successful establishment and an extensive rebranding, the restaurant is ready to expand. But to take this step, we need someone who can take over day-to-day operations, lighten our load, and thus pave the way for further expansion. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: - An entrepreneurial-minded partner who is passionate about the restaurant industry and brand building. - Someone with leadership skills and empathy for the team, who is capable of leading and developing a motivated and high-performing staff. - A visionary who recognizes the potential of this unique concept and may even be interested in opening a second location at some point. - Someone who isn’t just a managing partner, but a member of the family who will work with us on our growth strategy and help us continue writing our success story. VAMOS! If you see the opportunity to get started with a unique concept, an established team, and marketing support—and to become part of a success story—we look forward to hearing from you! Hopefully, we’ll see you soon for a tropical shake or a Café Colombiano.

Our client is a down-to-earth, long-established company now in its third generation, located in the heart of the Rhineland. For decades, the company has been known and renowned for its quality, freshness, efficiency, excellent value for money, and home-style cooking. The butcher shop, which also offers a catering service, has established a near-monopoly market position and stands out thanks to its combination of traditional craftsmanship, modern management, and customer-focused service. The company has performed exceptionally well, particularly in the years following the pandemic, and today demonstrates impressively strong profitability. The company serves three key market segments (butcher shop with retail location, catering service, and institutional kitchen), each with varying regional reach, thereby combining local roots with a supraregional presence. The institutional kitchen is the company’s top revenue-generating pillar and forms the backbone of its value creation. Approximately 1,100 freshly prepared lunches are produced and delivered daily—365 days a year. Long-standing partnerships ensure the company a stable order book, predictable revenues, and a high degree of operational continuity. The fully equipped attached bistro—which is currently closed due to time constraints—used to offer, in addition to the classic selection of meats and sausages, daily specials as well as hot and cold snacks. It also served as a customer magnet and a gathering place for regulars from the neighborhood. In the current fiscal year 2025, revenue of more than €2.5 million and an operating profit of over €1.0 million are expected—a trend that has also been reflected in previous fiscal years. The revenue and earnings outlook for the future is excellent due to the company’s strong market position and positive market developments. The business premises are owned by the shareholders and may be sold as part of the transaction. The company currently employs 22 people. Employee turnover and sick leave rates are low. The current shareholders wish to devote more time to their personal lives in the future. The issue of succession has not yet been resolved. The sale of the company to an external successor is therefore an important business priority that is being treated as a top priority. The company offers a new owner significant potential for scaling up and modernization, as the current management maintains a deliberate “laissez-faire” style and has not yet engaged in targeted marketing or sales efforts. The strategic challenge now lies in consistently tapping into this existing potential through targeted development—particularly in the areas of marketing, sales, and product line expansion. The goal is to maintain and further expand the company’s position as the regional market leader. The ideal successor should possess strong business management skills and, ideally, training as a butcher and/or chef. Additionally, the successor is expected to demonstrate collaborative leadership skills, foster a family-like work environment, and have a strong affinity for food. The successor’s goal should be the long-term development of the business.
