Turnkey Shaved Ice Franchise, Drive-Thru + Dine-In — Fast-Growing Sub

Operating store at a fraction of the $528K+ cost to build new.

Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment (FF&E):

$75,000
Included in asking price

Employees:

10 Part-time

Facilities:

1,630 SF suite with a 21-ft storefront and dedicated drive-thru in Commons at Harvest Green Phase II — a 16,077 SF retail center with 94 parking spaces on Harlem Rd, directly across from Travis High School (~2,500 students) and minutes from the Grand Parkway (99).

Full turnkey buildout conveys: shaver islands, block maker, ice shaver machines, ice machine and hopper, walk-in freezer with epoxy shelving, blender and smoothie stations, ice cream freezer, mixing tank, HVAC system, tankless water heater, 3-bay and hand sinks, stainless prep tables, chrome shelving, drive-thru menu board and headset system, Revel POS with iPad terminals, 55" digital menu TVs, illuminated signage, and booth and table seating.

Lease runs through 12/31/2029 at $6,493/mo (base + NNN), with a renewal option beyond. The lease includes an exclusive-use clause barring the landlord from leasing to another frozen-drink concept in the center.

Competition:

Located in Fort Bend County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, in the Richmond/Harvest Green corridor southwest of Houston. The immediate trade area includes two large master-planned communities still under development — Harvest Green (~2,000 homes) and Aliana (~4,000 homes) — plus Travis High School (~2,500 students) directly across Harlem Rd and steady commuter traffic from the Grand Parkway. Bahama Buck's is a nationally recognized shaved-ice and frozen-treat franchise with a differentiated product that only partially overlaps traditional ice cream and frozen yogurt concepts. The lease's exclusive-use provision protects the location within the center. Texas's long warm season supports an extended selling period relative to most U.S. markets.

Growth & Expansion:

• Marketing is underinvested — total advertising spend was under $4,000 (roughly 1.5% of revenue) over the trailing twelve months. Bringing local and social spend to franchise-typical levels is the most direct path to volume.
• Travis High School sits directly across the street with ~2,500 students; fundraisers, spirit nights, and student promotions are largely untapped.
• Catering and group orders are established but small — an existing vendor relationship with Fort Bend ISD can be expanded.
• Olo online ordering, DoorDash, and Grubhub are live but lightly promoted.
• The Punchh loyalty platform is in place and available for repeat-visit campaigns.
• Both surrounding master-planned communities are still adding homes, growing the residential base without additional spend.
• Extended summer hours and seasonal limited-time offers offer incremental volume.
