Description:
LunaBean’s, LLC plans to dramatically alter the competitive landscape for specialty frozen desserts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Based in the fast growing and gourmet food district of College Avenue in Oakland, California, LunaBean’s focus is to offer premium ice cream sandwiches comprised of gourmet gelato and high quality, freshly baked cookies in a variety of unique flavors, as well as premium fresh baked goods and gourmet espresso in a café environment that harkens back to neighborhood lemonade stands and childhood clubhouses. We have negotiated very favorable wholesale prices from suppliers to guarantee high margins, have identified a highly desirable location to ensure excellent foot traffic, and have test marketed our products extensively. Managed by experienced financial and marketing expert Mike Pauletich, coupled with the creative genius of Luna Longstocking, the financial upside to this concept frozen dessert café is substantial and bodes well for expansion or franchising opportunities.
