An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully equipped wholesale bagel manufacturing facility and retail storefront located in a densely populated Essex County market. This landmark operation has served the community for over 50 years and has been under the same ownership for the past 35 years.
Unlike many bagel businesses that rely heavily on retail traffic, this operation was built around wholesale production and distribution, creating a unique opportunity for a new owner to unlock substantial untapped retail revenue while expanding wholesale operations.
The property consists of approximately 6,500 square feet, including a retail storefront, expansive production facility, basement storage, walk-in refrigeration, freezer capacity, and loading capabilities. Included in the sale is a delivery truck capable of transporting approximately 300 cases of bagels.
Current weekly sales average approximately $11,000, consisting of both retail and wholesale revenue. However, the infrastructure was designed to support significantly greater volume. Management believes the retail operation alone has the potential to exceed $30,000 to $35,000 per week under an aggressive owner-operator model, while wholesale distribution could support substantially higher production levels.
This facility was built for scale.
The operation can produce approximately 30,000 bagels per shift and has the capacity to store more than 1,200 cases of frozen product. The facility is ideally suited for a growing bagel company, multi-unit operator, commissary kitchen model, franchise group, food distributor, or entrepreneur seeking to establish a dominant wholesale footprint.
The extensive equipment package includes commercial mixers, bagel formers, dividers, proofing systems, a flour silo, kettle system, double-rack oven, blast freezer, holding freezers, walk-in refrigeration, forklift, and other production equipment necessary to support large-scale manufacturing.
