I found a food manufacturing business for sale at $8.5M.
It’s been around for more than 100 years and is now producing over 20,000 units per day. Let’s dive into the details:
The company is almost fully focused on one product: pecan pies. Over 99% of production is this one item. They also did some chocolate and lemon pies, but plan to cut those in 2025 to double down on pecan.
Strategic advantage:
- Long history, trusted brand
- Private label contracts with major national names
- A custom-built facility with a 100-foot oven and modern machinery
- Strong output capacity with room to expand (extra land nearby is available)
Financials:
- $1.7M SDE (TTM 2024)
- Over 800,000 cases shipped yearly for one national partner alone
- Asking price = ~$8.5M → about 5x earnings multiple For food manufacturing with contracts, this is not crazy.
Risks? The business is very concentrated in one product (pecan pies). If demand shifts, or supply chain for pecans has issues, revenue could take a hit. Also, margins may be thinner because much of sales come from private label vs own retail brand.
Opportunities?
- Diversify product line beyond pecan
- Expand into new channels with more retail/wholesale partners
- Use adjacent land to grow production or add storage capacity
- Build stronger brand awareness, not just private label
The big picture: This is a stable, cashflow-heavy business with decades of reputation. It’s not a high-growth rocket, but more like a solid cash cow. Perfect for someone who wants predictable income with upside potential in expansion.
Like these breakdowns? DM me “food” and I’ll share how to access this deal and others like it.
