Read the lease before anything else
Remaining term, renewal options, rent escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a retail deal. A great store with a weak or non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.

Very Profitable, Established Pool Construction, Service & Retail
Indiana, United States
IN, US
High-Margin, Multi-Revenue Stream Business with Strong Cash Flow This opportunity represents the acquisition of a well-established pool construction, service, and retail company that has operated in the region for over 60 years. The business operates from two leased locations in Indiana, and serves a broad regional customer base with a full suite of pool-related products and services. The company’s revenue model is diversified across four primary categories: fiberglass pool installation, recurring seasonal and contracted service, repair and upgrade work, and retail sales of chemicals, parts, and accessories. This structure creates multiple customer touchpoints and supports consistent repeat business beyond the initial installation. To date, the business has installed more than 1,500 pools and maintains approximately 1,000 recurring service customers, providing a strong foundation for ongoing revenue generation and future growth. The company has demonstrated consistent growth and improving profitability, with revenue increasing from approximately $2.38M in 2023 to approximately $2.85M in 2025, while Seller’s Discretionary Earnings nearly doubled over the same period. Operations are supported by an experienced team, including a construction lead, service technicians, and retail staff, with additional seasonal labor during peak months. The business is structured to operate day-to-day with limited dependence on the current owners, who are willing to provide transition support post-sale. The company benefits from strong local brand recognition as the longest-operating pool business in the region, as well as favorable industry dynamics where demand for installations is reported to exceed current capacity.

What to know about retail business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating retail business acquisitions.
Value the inventory carefully
Establish what inventory is included, how it is valued, and how much is dead or seasonal stock. Inventory is often a large and negotiable part of the price.
Verify sales and margins at the register
Reconcile point-of-sale data against bank deposits and tax returns. Understand gross margin by category and how discounting affects it.
Assess foot traffic and the trade area
Location quality, nearby anchors, and parking drive walk-in revenue. Visit at different times and check that the trade area still supports the business.
Map supplier terms and concentration
Exclusive brands, supplier credit, and minimum order sizes affect both margin and risk. Make sure those relationships transfer to a new owner.
Clarify owner and staff roles
Owner-run stores often lean on the owner relationships and hours. Understand staffing, turnover, and what it costs to operate without the seller.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buyer questions for this market.
