KEY HIGHLIGHTS
1) The Presotea Brand

Presotea is a well-established and widely recognized bubble tea brand in Quebec, with more than 30 locations.

Presotea beverages are prepared using freshly brewed tea. The brand regularly introduces new drinks and seasonal promotions throughout the year, including special offerings for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, summer, and other occasions.

2) Prime Location

Presotea Côte-Vertu is located directly across from the terminus of the Côte-Vertu Orange Line metro station, benefiting from significant pedestrian traffic.

The location is also close to Vanier College and CEGEP de Saint-Laurent, with students representing a loyal customer base.

Other nearby businesses and services include Provigo, RBC Bank, and Pharmaprix.

Within less than a 10-minute drive, there are several major companies and employment centres, including Bombardier, Essilor, Saputo, and CAE Electronics, among others.

The business also benefits from delivery orders through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Skip.

3) Growth Opportunity

The franchisor allows franchisees, subject to approval, to add complementary food offerings to help drive the store's growth.

Potential additions could include Bánh mì, sushi, and other take-out food options, providing an opportunity to increase sales without additional franchise royalties on these added products.

4) Advantages of Purchasing Presotea Côte-Vertu vs. Building a New Location:

The estimated investment required to build a new Presotea location is approximately $350,000 to $600,000, depending on the location and size of the premises.

Presotea Côte-Vertu has been operating since 2022. Sales have stabilized and are currently above $400,000 annually, providing an established customer base and revenue stream rather than having to build a clientele from scratch.

Several neighbouring businesses operate extended hours, including Subway (open 24 hours), A&W (open 24 hours), and Pizza Pizza (open until approximately 1:00 a.m.). This suggests potential to increase sales by extending Presotea's operating hours.
Presotea Côte-Vertu is not subject to the same operating-hour restrictions typically found in shopping malls. This represents a significant advantage, as mall-based locations are generally required to follow the shopping centre's operating schedule.
