Profitable Long-Established Bakery & Supermarket in Abu Dhabi

This business operates as a combined bakery, roastery, supermarket, and tea shop under one roof, offering multiple revenue streams:

In-House Bakery Production: All bakery products are prepared fresh daily in a fully equipped 150 sq. ft. bakery kitchen on the first floor. The product range includes fresh bakery items, traditional and modern sweets, and assorted cheeses.

Retail Supermarket: The ground floor operates as a retail bakery and supermarket, serving walk-in customers with bakery goods, groceries, and tea.

Online Delivery: Strong presence on major delivery platforms including Talabat, Careem, Noon, and Keeta. Delivery operations are supported by one car, one motorcycle, and a dedicated delivery driver — all included in the sale.

B2B Contracts: Two active contracts with schools provide stable, recurring revenue through regular supply of bakery products.

Roastery & Tea Shop: Additional revenue streams from in-house roastery operations and tea service.

The business serves a diverse customer base across multiple channels:

Walk-in Retail Customers: The ground-floor supermarket and bakery serve the local Abu Dhabi community with fresh daily products. The business operates 24/7 in two shifts, capturing both daytime and late-night demand.

Online Delivery Customers: Active presence on four major delivery platforms (Talabat, Careem, Noon, Keeta) provides broad market reach across Abu Dhabi, with delivery infrastructure included in the sale.

B2B / Institutional Clients: Two active school contracts provide stable, recurring revenue with predictable order volumes, reducing dependence on foot traffic.

Market Position: Located in Abu Dhabi with a 30-year operating history (under previous and current ownership), the business benefits from established customer relationships and brand recognition in the local community. The current owner acquired the business in 2021 and expanded delivery channels and B2B contracts to strengthen revenue diversification.

Premises: 1,614 sq. ft. across two floors. Ground floor: retail bakery and supermarket. First floor: 150 sq. ft. fully equipped bakery factory kitchen. Annual rent: AED 200,000.

Operating Hours: 24/7 operations in two shifts, maximising revenue capture across all dayparts.

Team: 21 employees including 5 experienced head chefs. Most staff are on company-sponsored visas, ensuring smooth operational continuity post-transfer. Monthly staff salaries: approximately AED 39,000.

Delivery Infrastructure: One car, one motorcycle, and a dedicated delivery driver — all included in the sale.

Licensing: Trade licence valid until April 2026. Fully licensed and registered as a sole proprietorship.

Owner Involvement: The business runs with minimal owner involvement due to the trained team and established processes, making it ideal for an investor or semi-absentee owner.

Expand B2B Contracts: With two school contracts already active, there is clear potential to replicate this model with additional schools, corporate offices, hotels, and institutions across Abu Dhabi.

Scale Online Delivery: The business is already on four major platforms. Increasing digital marketing, platform-specific promotions, and adding direct-order channels (own website/app) could significantly grow the delivery segment.

Product Line Expansion: The existing bakery kitchen capacity could support new product categories — specialty cakes, catering platters, health-focused baked goods, or seasonal items — to capture higher-margin segments.

Extended Retail Offerings: The supermarket component could be expanded with additional product categories or premium grocery lines to increase average ticket size.

Multi-Location Expansion: The established operational model and trained team provide a blueprint for opening additional locations across the UAE.

Marketing & Brand Building: Increased social media presence, loyalty programs, and community engagement could further strengthen the already established local brand.
