How do I value a coffee shop business?
Valuing a coffee shop or café involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market.

Revenue multiples among coffee shops listed for sale range from 0.37 to 0.80, with the median at 0.55. Earnings multiples range from 1.91 to 3.50, with the median at 2.62.
