Bakery for Sale in Santos, Brazil

Artisan bakery and specialty café, with premium products, coastal appeal, and strong growth potential.
* Established artisan bakery and specialty café in Santos, Brazil, operating with a diversified revenue model that includes in-store consumption, takeaway sales, artisan bakery products, specialty coffee, breakfast, brunch, pastries, cakes, and food service. * The business benefits from Santos’ strategic coastal location, strong local market, tourism, and proximity to São Paulo, providing access to a broad customer base. * The operations combine bakery production, café service, and a premium lifestyle concept, with opportunities to further grow revenue through dine-in sales, delivery, corporate partnerships, catering, retail products, and brand expansion. * Has a seating capacity of about 30. * The business receives approximately 60 orders per day, with an average ticket value of BRL 20–30 depending on the day of the week. However, the average ticket varies considerably, and the business is not being positioned based on a specific price point. * Daily production volume includes approximately 20 servings of coffee and around 30 kg of flour used for bread production, resulting in an average of approximately 45 kg of finished bakery products. Not all of the daily production is necessarily sold. * The business has experienced a slight decline in sales this year, which the promoter attributes to political and market conditions in Brazil and changing customer preferences. The promoter finds it challenging to adapt to the younger generation, which is one of the reasons for considering the sale of the business. * The promoter has hands-on experience in bakery, food service, product development, operations, and business management, providing a solid foundation for continued operation and growth. * The business has a valid CNPJ registration and the required food-related permits in place.
