V-AID Business Investment Advises Ayaan Enterprises, LLC on Sale of Smoothie King Garland to HSD Garland Group, LLC.
Garland – V-AID Business Investment is pleased to announce the sale of Smoothie King Garland to HSD Garland Group, LLC. Smoothie King Garland is in a 1,276 SF retail strip center at 5129 N. Garland Ave. Garland, Texas 75040.
Smoothie King Garland was established in 2009 and acquired by Ayaan Enterprises, LLC in 2014. The customer base consists of upper to higher-income wide demographics. A good portion of the customers is from the gym-goers in the immediate vicinity of the business, package delivery service drivers as their meal replacement, patrons from the local businesses, and from the surrounding residential neighborhood. With the owner’s active involvement, the sales and the cash flow more than doubled since the acquisition.
Kevin Chung with V-AID Business Investment, as an exclusive agent for Smoothie King Garland, provided sell-side advisory services for Ayaan Enterprises, LLC. from business valuation, marketing, and negotiating the sale to transfer of business. V-AID Business Investment is a fully-fledged business brokerage and M&A advisory firm that assists business owner to sell their business for the maximum value while finding the right buyer who can continue to grow the business.
“Our company has sold this business twice within a 10-year period. The previous owner acquired the business several years ago and completely revamped the business and sales by being heavily involved in the day-to-day operations and more than doubled the cash flow. The business was sold for more than three times the price he originally paid for, and also just in time for him to move back to his home for a new venture. This global franchise business was heavily inquired and sought after and was eventually acquired by a qualified and enthusiastic buyer. The franchise and landlord approval process were seamless, as our company sustained healthy relationships with the lenders in the past to provide the best terms for the buyer and by effectively communicating and negotiating with the landlord to provide the best lease terms,” said Kevin Chung, Vice President of Business Brokerage at V-AID Business Investment in Dallas.
