Business type: Food and Related Product Manufacturing. Established: 2019. Employees: 8. Inventory included: $10,000. Fixtures & equipment: $140,000. Premises: Owned. Lease type: Gross. Reason for sale: The current owner is transitioning out of this operation to focus their time and resources entirely on another primary business venture and their executive career. Because their attention is required elsewhere, they no longer have the day-to-day bandwidth to actively manage, market, and scale HouseCook to its full potential. This creates a perfect, turnkey hand-off for a dedicated buyer who has the time to capitalize on the existing contracts and facility infrastructure.. Support & training: The seller will provide a comprehensive transition period to ensure a seamless handover. This includes full operational training on the HouseCook business model, a complete walkthrough of the facility's equipment and safety protocols, and direct, warm introductions to all existing contract clients and current facility rental tenants.. Competition: HouseCook operates in a competitive landscape alongside other food manufacturers, ghost kitchens, co-packing facilities, and large-scale caterers. We consistently outpace our operational competitors through a highly trained production team and an uncompromising commitment to premium food quality. This operational excellence allows us to thrive in both B2B and B2C markets, having successfully secured lucrative, recurring contracts with major institutional and retail partners, including the Region of Peel, the TTC, and Hasty Market. Beyond the strength of the HouseCook brand, our primary structural advantage is our dual-revenue model. Because we own the industrial real estate asset, we are completely insulated from the rent hikes and lease disputes that often cripple competing food businesses. By strategically renting out our commercial kitchen to other local food operators during our production downtime, we generate a robust secondary income stream that completely covers the property's mortgage costs, making the facility virtually free to hold.. Growth: The HouseCook brand and the real estate facility are perfectly positioned for immediate scaling. Currently, the sole bottleneck to explosive growth is the owner's limited time to dedicate to the business. On the operational side, a new owner can immediately expand HouseCook's B2B revenue by deepening existing, proven relationships with the Region of Peel, the TTC, and Hasty Market, while aggressively pursuing new corporate and municipal contracts. Furthermore, the B2C segment has massive, untapped upside; it simply requires a dedicated leader who has the time to focus on front-end sales, marketing, and customer acquisition. On the property side, the fully owned, 1,200 sq. ft. facility has the infrastructure to support a 24/7 production schedule. An incoming buyer has complete flexibility: they can utilize this excess capacity to drastically scale HouseCook's output, plug in their own existing food concepts, or expand the highly profitable real estate model by bringing in more tenant operators to maximize rental income.. Broker co-operation: Yes. Commission: 2%. Marketed off-market by the lister. Location: 1160 King Road, Burlington, ON, Canada.
