About the Business
Taste of Amalfi is a premium dessert brand specialising in high-quality sorbet and Italian-style frozen treats, built with a focus on simplicity, strong margins, and high visual appeal. The business has established a solid reputation through consistent performance across shopping centres, events, and seasonal activations.
Operating through a mobile cart model, the business offers a flexible, low-overhead structure without the constraints of a fixed retail lease. This allows the owner to target high-foot-traffic locations during peak periods, maximising revenue while maintaining control over trading hours and costs.
The brand has developed strong customer engagement through social media, particularly TikTok and Instagram, generating organic demand and repeat business. This online presence continues to drive visibility and customer flow without reliance on paid advertising.
The operation is streamlined, with a simple product range, efficient setup, and approximately 25% cost of goods. It is easy to manage, requires minimal staffing, and is currently run on a seasonal basis, with the option to expand into a full-time or multi-location operation.
The business has generated strong seasonal revenue, with peak trading periods delivering high hourly returns in busy shopping centres and event environments. The mobile model allows for efficient setup and pack-down, making it highly adaptable and cost-effective to operate.
Taste of Amalfi has been built with scalability in mind, with systems and branding that can be replicated across multiple locations. The current structure provides a clear pathway to grow through additional carts, expanded trading periods, or by leveraging the brand for franchising or licensing opportunities.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-developed, asset-backed brand with proven demand and immediate earning potential from day one.
