Galway City, Galway, Ireland
Asking Price:
€39,950 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Turnover:
€220,000
Net Profit:
Undisclosed

A well-loved gelato and dessert café in the heart of Galway city, located in Eyre Square Shopping Center - one of the highest-footfall retail locations in the west of Ireland. The business has been serving loyal, returning customers for ten years and is now available for new ownership with immediate handover.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a fully operational, established business from day one - no setup, no fit-out, no guesswork. Everything is in place: professional gelato production equipment, crêpe and waffle setup, display units, and all operational equipment. You walk in and start trading.

The asking price has been reduced to €39,950. For context, fitting out a comparable unit from scratch would cost €60,000-€80,000 before lease costs or setup time - this is an established business with ten years of trading history included in that price.
The current lease has more than eight years remaining with a break clause at year three, giving a new owner both long-term security and the flexibility to exit if needed. The rent is below comparable units in the center. Full lease details are available to interested buyers.

Annual turnover is approximately €220,000. Full figures are shared openly with any serious inquiry.

Included in the sale: all equipment, full lease assignment, brand name, recipes, supplier contacts, social media accounts, and ten years of customer goodwill. Stock and consumables by separate agreement.

The current owners are happy to provide a full handover and training period -however long it takes for a new owner to feel confident running the business independently.
If you're based in Galway and have ever thought about running your own café or food business, this is worth a conversation. Whether or not you have hospitality experience, full training and handover support are included.
To arrange a viewing or ask any questions, get in touch directly.
