FAQs

Prices vary depending on the size of the business listed, but the median asking price for an ice cream shop business is $249,475.
How much do ice cream and frozen yogurt shop business owners earn?

How do I value an ice cream or frozen yogurt shop business?
Valuing a business involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among ice cream and frozen yogurt businesses listed for sale in the U.S. range from 0.45 to 0.81, with the median at 0.63. Earnings multiples range from 2.08 to 3.56, with the median at 2.79. These values suggest a typical ice cream or froyo shop may sell for around 0.63 times its annual revenue, and 2.79 times its annual owner’s earnings.
