Rocket Fizz Grand Rapids is in CURRENT operation and is going to sell turnkey
(in current operation!)
to a new owner…

and that new owner could be you!

The owner of Rocket Fizz Lansing is simplifying and selling this business… and it’s priced for a quick sale for $60,000!

The owner is selling Rocket Fizz Grand Rapids as a TURNKEY operation– meaning the current operational business (including all staff) will remain in operation as you take over!  This sale includes not only all the equipment, supplies, staff, and inventory which makes this business operational… but the owner is willing to provide on-the-job training and onboarding to the new owner so that the new owners can enjoy a seamless transition.  And they have ideas that can really make the business grow.

A staple at Knapp’s Corner!  This very popular location and destination.

Rocket Fizz Grand Rapids has:

• SUPER-HIGH margins!   HIGH MARGINS = HIGH PROFIT!
• 400 different types of sodas!  70 different types of root beer alone!
• Tons of unique and fun items!  Feed your creative side and bring in and sell some fun things.
• An easy inventory ordering system.
• So many ideas currently utilized but that could be expanded to dramatically increase revenues-  corporate events, fundraisers, parties, bridal showers, baby showers, school events, hotels, Halloween parties and events, parks, and the ideas and potential is endless.  
• The ability to work from home with a POS system that is cloud-based… making it easy to track inventory, sales, orders and monitor the operations of the store from anywhere in the world.

It’s a $150,000 investment to open a Rocket Fizz… that’s what the current owners have invested.
And you can buy this business in it’s turn-key operation for only $60,000!  

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!     Bonuses for you:

• This is the best time of year to buy.  With holidays and summer approaching, the sales are going to spike!
• Summer Concert Series is right in front of the store!  This is an event the mall that puts on which goes through the summer- June through August and runs each Tuesday night and draws hundreds of people.  They sell a lot of everything during this time!
• Only been open a bit over a year… with plenty of life on the lease… and it has renewals.
• Simple inventory and solutions for liquidating inventory as it gets closer to expiring.
• Staff wants to stay.  Inquire with me so I can explain the staffing situation.  This is a perfect opportunity for an owner-operator, and wouldn’t require someone to be on site full time.

What this business sale includes.  This business sale includes the inventory ($30,000- $35,000 at any given time), equipment (coolers, registers and POS, ADT security system with cameras, laptop (with off-site capability), stereo, and more.  And… the owners will train you making this a successful transition for you and getting you off to a rockin’ start.

What are you waiting for?  The owner will provide you with everything you need to keep the business going smoothly and share their ideas for large growth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Marketing.  You are allowed to have social media accounts and a YouTube channel.  In the past, we were prohibited from having individual websites and from selling online.  In the past month however, we are now allowed to have an online sales platform through Lightspeeds eCommerce site, which links directly to the stores Lightspeed account.  With that you are allowed to have a custom domain name but it must follow the RF naming rules.  I believe it would be RocketFizzLansingMI.com.   Marketing is 100% controlled by the franchisee.  The franchisor does some things with media but they do nothing at all specifically for the local markets.  Marketing has been intentionally and significantly scaled-down (virtually nonexistent) at this location due to the owner’s limited ability to manage the store due to health reasons.  There is major upside and opportunity here as even moderate marketing will generate a significant increase in revenue.
2. Music is required at each location.  It is supposed to be on all the time.  RF signed us up with Pandora originally, they wouldn’t know if you changed services or created your own play list or went to a free service.  Just as long as the music fit the theme of the store.
3. Layout of the store- flexibility.  The actual store layout was created by corporate when we opened.  You are free to move anything around wherever you’d like.  RF Corporate audits once per year for about an hour, all they care is that the store is stocked with product.
4. Vendor lists.  We do have an approved vendor list and we are supposed to follow that list.  Every store has local suppliers they use as well.  Corporate doesn’t care as long as the items fit the theme.
5. Flexibility in adding other candy.  You can absolutely add any candy items you’d like.  You are limited to prepackaged items though per the food license.
6. How long does the candy last (perishables).  Prepackaged candy lasts anywhere from 3 to 12 months, depending on the item.  Taffy is good for 1 year from manufacture date.  Soda is good for 2 years.  Anything received within 60 days of expiration is credited to our account and are allowed to still sell it up to the expiration date. We try to move close date candy by discounting it or by creating “Grab Bags”.
7. Royalty is 5% of gross sales with a minimum of $900.
8. Busy months, slow months.  Jan, Feb, and Oct are the slowest months of the year for us.  Easter through Summer and Christmas are our busiest months.
9. Staffing.  Although any changes can be made depending on the desires of a new owner, the store is currently managed by someone who has been there since the store opened and there are two other employees.
