Smallcakes Franchise
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established Smallcakes Cupcakery and Creamery franchise serving the Tallahassee market for nine years. The business has built strong local brand recognition and a loyal customer base while offering a popular lineup of gourmet cupcakes and specialty desserts.
The shop is located in the highly visible Gulf Winds Shopping Center at 1480 Apalachee Parkway, surrounded by established retail stores and restaurants that generate consistent foot traffic throughout the day. The location also benefits from excellent exposure along Apalachee Parkway, which sees approximately 31,500 vehicles per day, providing strong visibility and steady customer flow.
This business is being offered as an asset sale, allowing a buyer to step into a fully operational dessert shop with equipment, systems, and an established customer base already in place. One of the most compelling aspects of this opportunity is the grandfathered franchise structure that eliminates the standard 4% ongoing royalty fee—a cost typically required for new franchise locations. This royalty-free structure will transfer to the new owner, providing stronger margins and making this location particularly attractive compared to most franchise opportunities.
In addition, a buyer avoids the significant upfront costs typically associated with opening a new location. Starting a new franchise often requires a franchise fee and full buildout that can exceed $150,000, whereas this opportunity allows a buyer to take over an established, turnkey operation at a fraction of that investment.
The shop features a proven product lineup including signature cupcakes, cookies, pup cakes, mini dozen cupcake packs, gluten-free options, and cake push-pops. Sales are generated primarily through walk-in traffic, word-of-mouth referrals, and social media engagement.
