Description

This is a premier opportunity to acquire the leading specialty hobby retailer in Fresno, a key franchise within a nationally recognized brand (100+ locations). The seller is semi-passive and spends 5-10 hours weekly on the business. The store has been a dominant community destination since 1993, featuring: -RC Racing Hub: complete with indoor/outdoor tracks and a repair center. - Extensive Inventory: the largest stock of BANDAI anime products in the Central Valley, plus top brands like HASBRO, LEGO, STEM kits, board games, and models. - Market Leadership: A strong position in the fast-growing smart toys and hobbyist market. Key Strengths: - Proven Model: Benefits from robust corporate franchise support, training, and omnichannel retail strategy. - Community Anchor: Established as a vibrant, trusted destination with family-focused programming and strong local club/event ties. - Growth Ready: Blends e-commerce with in-store experience for sustained growth and customer loyalty. - Turnkey Operation: Strong manager and staff are in place and staying on with the new owner. The owner is committed to a smooth transition and training for the new ownership. Owner Motivation: The current owner, a lifelong industry expert with decades of experience, is simplifying his portfolio to focus on his other location. He is fully dedicated to collaborating for the continued success of the Fresno store.
