About this Business
High Visibility Location! Loyal Regulars!
Wake up to the aroma of small-batch roasted coffee and warm, fresh beignets—this fully operational coffee shop just got more affordable for the right owner to step in and grow it. Located in a high-visibility spot near a major medical center, this former Starbucks already has a loyal customer base, a strong franchise brand, and an efficient team of 4-5 employees keeping it running smoothly.
Reduced to just $185K, this is a turnkey opportunity that includes $100K in equipment and a complete buildout, making it far more affordable than starting from scratch. The shop is breaking even with untapped potential—a hands-on owner can optimize profitability by dialing in labor costs, expanding catering, and ramping up local marketing through school partnerships, farmers’ markets, and downtown festivals.
PJ’s Coffee is known for its rich, smooth small-batch roasts and signature New Orleans-style beignets, setting it apart from big-chain competitors. The foundation is solid, and the customers are here—what’s missing is an owner ready to maximize the opportunity.
