If you want to be deliriously happy, you should also follow your dreams and follow your passion in life. Recognizing that advice, Bobby Walsh is going to do everything in his power to maximize his passion for flipping real estate — the art of buying less than ideal homes and rehabbing them in order to turn a profit and get a building with good bones back into the mainstream of quality real estate in the market.
Bobby has been working the real estate flip market for several years, largely in his native Chicago, but he’s going to give it a whirl in Michigan’s Great Southwest in the near future which gives somebody else with the dream of owning and operating a frozen yogurt business in the central business district of a bustling downtown lakefront community the chance to fulfill the dream that they would like to pursue.
Essentially, Walsh, who owns and operates Yo Bubb’s Frozen Yogurt in the absolute heart of downtown St. Joseph has placed the business on the market to see if anyone has the fire in the belly to take the reins and free him up to pursue his own real estate rehab flip passion going forward.
Bobby tells me that he is “ready to move on to other business opportunities,” but assures anyone interested in assuming ownership of Yo Bubb’s that it is “still a very profitable business, and doing very well this summer.”
Yo Bubb’s Frozen Yogurt is located at 319 State Street in downtown St. Joseph and is into its fifth summer in business, having launched over the Memorial Day weekend in 2013. Realtor Lyle Haden of Keller Williams Realty SWM has the listing for the frozen treat location and the asking price has been set at $170,000 for a turnkey operation.
As Hayden says in his MLS listing: “Here is your chance to own a profitable business in downtown St. Joseph. Incredible foot traffic, close to the beach, and fully geared for the new owner to step in and Go!!! Turn-key ready. All equipment and supplies stay. This will be a ”Sweet” opportunity for any investor.”
Walsh and his family have thoroughly enjoyed the enterprise, and they still own and operate both Yo Bubb’s and Mimi’s Cupcakes downtown. However, his passion for real estate has been growing stronger with each passing year as he has done a little more in each year, primarily in the Chicagoland marketplace. He says, “I love it.” However, “If nobody elects to buy Yo Bubb’s to live their own business enterprise dream, we will continue to operate the shop just like always. It’s a solid, profitable business, but I’d just like to pursue this deeper passion which has captured my imagination.”
If anyone is interested in acquiring the Yo Bubb’s Frozen Yogurt business in downtown St. Joseph, they are welcome to contact Lyle Hayden at (269) 982-7653 to discuss a deal. Bobby is happy to answer questions regarding the business, but the transaction process will be the responsibility of Hayden and his team at Keller Williams Realty SWM.
