About this Business
This is a rare chance to acquire established, fully operating Crumbl Cookies franchises — turnkey businesses with trained teams, loyal customers, and proven local demand, so a new owner steps into a running operation instead of building from the ground up.
The stores are part of a multi-unit ownership group and have been professionally run, with mature systems already in place for staffing, scheduling, inventory, production, customer experience, and financial oversight. Each location is fully built out and equipped, with an experienced management team on the floor from day one.
Buyers inherit advantages a new build can’t offer: historical sales and operating data, established brand awareness in the local market, a trained crew, and a finished retail space — eliminating the development risk, construction time, equipment costs, hiring ramp, and slow startup of opening new.
The opportunity suits both a hands-on owner-operator and an existing multi-unit franchisee looking to add scale. Notably, one of the locations sit in a protected market with no competing Crumbls for an hour or more in any direction, and the group includes a location that has ranked among the top performers in the national system.
This is a planned transition. The owners are stepping back from their portfolio for personal reasons and are seeking qualified operators to carry these stores forward. Locations are available individually or as a group.
Full due-diligence materials — detailed financials, lease terms, staffing, equipment, and operating information — are available to financially qualified buyers under a confidentiality agreement. The sellers will work cooperatively to ensure an orderly transition, subject to the franchisor’s transfer and approval process.
Growth opportunities
Established, turnkey Crumbl stores with real runway for a growth-minded operator: Protected market — One of the locations is the only Crumbl for 60+ minutes in any direction, capturing regional demand with no sister-store competition. It's consistently in the top 25 of 1,100 stores. Local-market advantage — two of the three stores sit in smaller markets outside Pittsburgh proper, where it's easier to stand out. Leverage minor-league sports partnerships, school-athletics sponsorships, and outsized local media to drive traffic. Margin expansion — right-size labor by baking throughout the day and tightening shift coverage; some sit in a lower price tier with room to move toward parity as Crumbl allows. Catering & large orders — underdeveloped, with strong upside via Crumbl's catering platform. Owner-operator upside — stores run on strong GMs today, so a hands-on owner converts management cost into added profit.

Owners are main contact for the three in-store General Managers, and Corporate liaisons.

Why I Love My Franchise
We love Crumbl! — the products, and the passionate customers who keep coming back. What really sets us apart, though, is our store culture. The smiles and the smell of fresh-baked treats are why customers and crew alike love being in our stores, and there's something genuinely rewarding about making and baking cookies and desserts from scratch every day. Most of all, we're proud of our people. Our teams are the best in the business — they treat each store as if it were their own.
About Crumbl
Crumbl is a gourmet cookie and dessert bakery built around a weekly rotating menu, an open-concept kitchen, and its instantly recognisable pink takeout box. Each week the brand features a rotating line-up of oversized specialty cookies alongside core flavours, sold for in-store pickup, delivery, catering, and gifting. The concept was founded in 2017 in Logan, Utah, and remains founder-led.
The business is a brick-and-mortar retail bakery model with a strong technology layer. Ordering runs through the award-winning Crumbl app and a proprietary operating system, and much of the brand’s reach comes from its large social-media following. Stores are franchised through Crumbl Franchising, LLC, and the network has grown quickly to more than 1,000 locations across all 50 US states and Canada.
Crumbl’s differentiation is its mix of a constantly changing menu, a shareable product format, and viral social marketing that drives trial and repeat visits. The model suits hands-on operators comfortable with high-volume, customer-facing retail food service and its staffing demands.
Franchisee Support
Crumbl provides structured onboarding for new owners, with 16-26 hours of classroom training and 55-72 hours of on-the-job training covering baking, the weekly menu rotation, and running a store the Crumbl way. Owners receive proprietary recipes and access to the brand's operating software and ordering app, backed by national marketing and ongoing field support for inventory and menu execution once a store is trading. Buyers of an existing Crumbl unit should confirm what transfer training and app and system access carry over at the change of ownership, plus the experience level of the inherited crew.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Crumbl has built fast national recognition since 2017, ranking No. 31 on Entrepreneur's 2024 Franchise 500 and appearing among the largest US franchise systems on the Franchise Times Top 400 (2025). The brand is best known for its viral social-media presence, particularly on TikTok, where weekly flavour reveals drive a large, engaged following that fuels repeat visits. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the reputation of the specific store, including local reviews, foot traffic, and recent sales performance.
Industry / Market
Crumbl operates in the US gourmet cookie and specialty bakery market, a fast-growing part of the dessert sector. The US gourmet cookie market is forecast to grow about 9% a year through 2030 (Virtue Market Research), and the broader US specialty bakery market, valued near $6.3 billion, is projected to approach $9 billion by 2032 (Credence Research). Demand is driven by indulgence spending, social-media trends, and delivery and catering convenience. As a discretionary category, a specific store's sales trend and local competition matter to resale buyers as much as category growth.
Ideal Owner
Crumbl suits a hands-on, customer-facing operator comfortable running a fast-paced retail food environment. The model is operations- and people-led: owners manage a largely young, hourly crew, maintain product quality and store cleanliness, and keep pace with a menu that changes every week. Marketing and social-media fluency are a real asset given how much of the brand's traffic comes from online buzz. Prior baking experience is not required, but strong local execution and staff management matter more than a passive, absentee approach.
