Bubble Tea Business for Sale

Buy a bubble tea shop or franchise in Singapore — turnkey outlets with equipment, staff and supplier contracts already in place.

Bubble tea has moved from trend to fixture in Singapore's F&B landscape. That maturity is exactly why bubble tea business resales are a real opportunity — established outlets with 2+ years of consistent revenue often trade at reasonable multiples when the owner moves on.

When shortlisting, focus on three things: location foot traffic (school and transit-adjacent outlets tend to be steadier), ingredient cost as a share of revenue (aim for under 30%), and franchise terms if applicable (royalty percent, marketing fund, remaining franchise tenure).

Both independent and franchised bubble tea businesses are listed on BusinessExchange SG. Independents offer menu freedom; franchises offer brand pull and supplier pricing. For first-time F&B owners, a franchise resale in a proven location is often the lower-risk entry point.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a bubble tea shop cost to buy?

Small kiosks and takeaway-only outlets typically sell S$60,000 to S$150,000. Franchise resales with strong locations can range S$180,000 to S$350,000.

Do bubble tea businesses still make money in Singapore?

Yes — mature operators clear S$8,000 to S$25,000 monthly profit at a healthy outlet. Newer or oversaturated locations can be much lower. Look at 3 to 6 months of recent sales, not opening-month peaks.

Should I buy an independent bubble tea shop or a franchise?

Franchises give you brand pull, supplier pricing and marketing. Independents give you menu freedom and no royalties. If you're first-time in F&B, a franchise resale is often the lower-risk entry.

What are the key costs to check?

Ingredient cost per cup (tea leaves, tapioca, syrups, cups), monthly rent, staff wages, franchise royalty (if any), and equipment maintenance. Ingredient cost should typically stay under 30% of revenue.
