This attractive premium chocolate shop is situated in a prime, high volume foot traffic location together with other high end retail shops. It is well run by an experienced, successful franchise owner who has had the shop since inception. Since the current owner works an average of 30 hours per week this could be an excellent opportunity for a fulltime owner/operator, husband/wife operators, or owner absentee. The premium chocolate market in the US is continuing to expand, providing opportunity for continued growth.
