Marketing description
Unique opportunity to acquire an ownership stake as a Managing Partner in a fully operational coffee shop located in Downtown Ypsilanti.
This modern café concept launched within the past year and has already established a strong presence within the local community. The business offers a welcoming atmosphere and currently serves specialty coffee, breakfast, and light food, with additional opportunities to expand offerings and increase revenue.
The café occupies approximately 1,100 square feet and accommodates around 50 guests indoors, complemented by outdoor seating in the front area. The property also includes space for a food trailer, creating additional potential for expanded food service and increased customer traffic.

Operations, staffing, hours, and growth initiatives will be collaboratively determined with the new partner, offering flexibility and the ability to influence the direction of the business.
Potential growth opportunities include:
- Catering services
