Business Summary
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-established and fully operational mobile coffee bar, which is part of a renowned coffee shop group based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. This business for sale, has a strong presence in the local market, with a loyal customer base built through regular appearances at flea markets, festivals, and various events across the city.
The mobile coffee bar currently operates primarily on weekends, capitalizing on high-footfall locations such as flea markets and event venues. However, there is significant potential to expand operations during weekdays by securing contracts with office parks, corporate buildings, or business districts. This could substantially increase revenue and make the business a more consistent income generator. For an owner looking to maximize earnings, additional opportunities include:
Expanding corporate partnerships – Securing weekday service locations at office parks, business hubs, or universities.
Adding catering services – Providing coffee catering for private functions, weddings, or corporate events.
Introducing loyalty programs or subscriptions – Encouraging repeat customers through pre-paid coffee plans.
Offering additional menu items – Expanding beyond coffee to include light snacks, pastries, or breakfast options.
The business is currently owner-operated, which keeps costs low. However, a new owner could hire staff to manage operations more efficiently. The estimated staffing costs are:
Part-time staff: R250 per day (ideal for weekends and busy events).
Full-time staff: Market-related hospitality wages (allows for increased trading hours and expansion).
Financial Performance
Asking Price: R430,000
Average Monthly Turnover: R4,181
Average Monthly Profit: R1,909
While the business currently runs at a modest turnover, there is immense growth potential for an owner willing to dedicate more time to expansion strategies. The current owner is selling due to commitments with other business ventures and does not have the time to scale operations further. All necessary equipment is included in the sale, ensuring a seamless transition for a new owner.
