Key Highlights
Description
This listing presents an opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, turn-key Kettle Corn franchise that has demonstrated resilience through challenging economic periods since its establishment in 2016. The business achieved $209,000 in sales in 2022, maintaining excellent profit margins between 40% and 50%. While mobile, operations are anchored at a secure, high-traffic location within the North Carolina State Farmers Market, minimizing daily setup/breakdown.
