Haitian Bakery Sale of Assets in Ft. Lauderdale, FL
This is a turnkey opportunity to acquire the fully equipped assets of a non-operational Haitian bakery and grill located in a high-traffic commercial plaza in Fort Lauderdale. The facility is ready for immediate relaunch, offering the chance to start a bakery or similar food service business at a fraction of the cost of building from scratch.
The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), such as a commercial smoker, refrigeration units, prep stations, and dining furniture. The previous concept focused on Haitian cuisine, with a menu featuring items like pâté feuilleté, grilled meats, and natural juices. The 1,000 sq. ft. space features a contemporary design, including seating for 20 guests, a customer-facing counter, and a fully equipped kitchen.
The business is situated in a diverse area with significant Caribbean influences, ensuring a steady flow of potential customers. The plaza is surrounded by complementary businesses such as beauty supply stores, nail salons, and professional offices, providing high visibility and foot traffic.
This is a "sale of assets" with a lease assumption. The buyer must be approved by the landlord to assume the existing lease, which includes favorable terms and a base rent of $3,300/month. The buyer will also need to provide the required security deposit in addition to the purchase price of the assets. This sale is ideal for an entrepreneur seeking a manageable-sized facility in a prime location with minimal upfront investment.
The fully equipped facility offers a rare opportunity to relaunch quickly and capitalize on the strong market demand in the area.
