Primary Category:Food & Related Product Businesses for Sale
The Company is a franchised healthy prepared‑meal and nutrition retail store located in Missouri, operating under a modern small‑format model that requires no on‑site kitchen or food preparation. All ready‑to‑eat meals are chef‑crafted, dietitian‑designed, and produced by approved centralized suppliers, enabling the store to function with a lean staffing structure consisting of a general manager, a key lead, and limited hourly support. In addition to meal sales, the business offers made‑to‑order protein shakes, snacks, supplements, and branded merchandise.
A central component of the business model is its recurring subscription membership program, which bundles one‑on‑one nutrition coaching, biweekly check‑ins, and body‑composition scanning. These memberships accounted for 64% of total revenue for the twelve‑month period ended August 2026, providing a predictable and diversified revenue base beyond transactional retail traffic. During the same period, the business generated $286,783 in total revenue and $116,766 in gross profit. Monthly base rent is $3,900 under a ten‑year lease with two five‑year renewal options. The lease is located within a grocery‑anchored center that contractually restricts the landlord from leasing space to three named competing meal‑prep brands, providing meaningful competitive protection.
The offering includes an executed area development agreement granting the right to develop two additional franchised locations within the same metropolitan area. All development fees for the three‑unit commitment have already been contracted, positioning a buyer to pursue multi‑unit expansion without additional upfront franchise development costs. The current owner works approximately ten hours per week and does not draw a salary, indicating operational capacity for a full‑time owner‑operator to assume on‑premises leadership consistent with franchisor expectations.
Supplement and merchandise attachment rates remain low, and local advertising expenditures totaled only $8,775 over the trailing twelve months, suggesting opportunities to increase customer conversion, expand membership penetration, and enhance ancillary product sales. The business operates as a limited liability company with two full‑time and one part‑time employees. The franchise term has nine years remaining and is renewable, and training and support are available subject to negotiation. The owner is pursuing a sale due to time constraints.

Training/Support
Training and transition support are available and can be tailored to the buyer’s needs. The franchisor provides standardized onboarding, operational training, and ongoing support consistent with its system requirements. The seller is willing to assist with a smooth handoff of daily operations, membership management, and local marketing practices to ensure continuity for the new owner.
Facilities
The business operates from a fully built‑out franchised retail space in a grocery‑anchored center with strong daily traffic. The store requires no kitchen or food preparation, as all meals are supplied by approved central producers. The facility includes a customer retail area, POS counter, refrigeration and display units for ready‑to‑eat meals, and equipment for shakes and supplemental product sales. The lease is a ten‑year term with two five‑year renewal options and includes exclusivity protection against three competing meal‑prep brands. All fixtures, furnishings, equipment, refrigeration units, and franchisor‑standard build‑out elements transfer with the sale.
Market Outlook/Competition
The business operates in the growing healthy prepared‑meal and nutrition market, driven by consumer demand for convenience, wellness, and personalized coaching. The store benefits from a grocery‑anchored location with strong daily traffic and a lease that includes exclusivity protection against three competing meal‑prep brands. Competition in the area consists mainly of traditional gyms, supplement shops, and meal‑prep concepts that do not offer the same combination of ready‑to‑eat meals, subscription‑based nutrition coaching, and biweekly body‑composition check‑ins. The franchise’s centralized meal production model and recurring membership revenue provide differentiation and stability compared to purely transactional retail competitors.
