This food and beverage business, established in 2018, specialized in ice cream and dairy products and supplied a wide network of supermarkets, cafeterias, restaurants, and key accounts across the UAE.
The company previously operated at scale with a strong distribution footprint and a large customer base, making it a recognized supplier in its category. Although the business is currently not in operation, its infrastructure, assets, and customer relationships remain valuable for an investor seeking to revive or expand within the F&B distribution sector.
The company offered a full range of ice cream and dairy products, including cheese and yogurt, serving more than 1,000 B2B customers such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, groceries, and cafeterias. With eight delivery trucks equipped with chillers and freezers valued at AED 560,000, the business is fully equipped for cold chain distribution and ready for immediate reactivation under new management.
Located in Ras Al Khor, the warehouse provides a strategic advantage for distribution, offering excellent access to major roads and commercial hubs. The 3,200 sq.ft facility is leased at AED 260,000 annually and is secured until September, giving the buyer a stable operational base in one of Dubai’s key industrial zones.
Before the regional challenges, the company employed 40 staff members, but it currently operates with no employees, allowing the new owner to rebuild the team according to operational needs. Historical expenses were high due to mismanagement, reaching AED 300,000 per month, but with proper oversight, the business can operate efficiently at approximately AED 180,000 monthly. Typical cost structure included AED 120,000 in salaries, AED 80,000 in ice cream purchases, and AED 40,000 in dairy product procurement.
Financially, the business generated AED 500,000 in sales last year but operated at breakeven due to inefficiencies. With a strong customer base, valuable delivery fleet, and established market presence, the business offers a solid foundation for an investor capable of restructuring operations and restoring profitability.
There is significant growth potential through reactivating the distribution network, optimizing procurement, rebuilding the sales team, and leveraging the existing 1,000 client database. With proper management, streamlined expenses, and targeted marketing, the business can return to strong performance in a high demand sector.
The owner is selling the business to focus on other main ventures, presenting an opportunity for a buyer to acquire a ready to restart F&B distribution operation with substantial assets and market reach.
