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.

The business has built a loyal customer base from both local residents and customers specifically seeking authentic Eastern European and Balkan offerings.

Swimming Pool Maintenance Routes And Real Estate
Texas, United States
TX, US
Attention: All pool maintenance business owners or workers interested in moving to Texas,.This is the business for you. Located in the Hill Country of Texas, which is somewhat similar to California, where you would feel like you were still at home and, in Texas, be welcomed as a neighbor. This Pool Maintenance and Repair business is grossing $227,800 per year (2024). It would be great for a young family desiring to own a business and live in the Texas Hill Country! Can you qualify for this lifestyle? This deal would qualify for SBA financing which would allow as low as a 10% down payment, if you qualify! Call me and I will see what I can do to help you. This company’s business in 2024 was $227,798. Sales were broken down by the following categories: $36,629 (16.1%) in Repair Labor; $30,304.51 (13.3%) in Part sales; Chemical sales were $31,349 (13.8%), Service Work totaled $123,670 (54.3%), and Special Service Call work of $5,845 (2.5%). According to Seller’s records, all of these work categories in 2024 showed increases over the previous 4 calendar years, except one! The business services four counties in the Texas Hill Country. They have 43 accounts in one county (commercial and residential with room for more business), 20 accounts in another county (commercial and residential with room for more business), 5 accounts in a third county (mostly large ranches that pay above average), and 3 accounts in the fourth county (lots of untapped potential). There is a lot of expansion that could be done with this business. The cost of the business is $229,750 (1.01 times annual sales). Prior to 2024, gross sales were $212,811 (2023), $207,369 (2022), $220,051 (20212), and $166,853 (2020). Steadily increasing post-covid volume makes this business an excellent SBA loan candidate. The business has a real estate element (a home and warehouse) that could possibly go with the business. The real estate portion of the sales price is $295,175. The home is a little over 1,000 sq.ft., it has a covered back porch of about 800 sq.ft. a warehouse and shed of 840 sq.ft. It may or may not be available at the time you purchase the business. Total price for the business and the real estate is $524,925. Business has an existing staff of one full-time tech with 7 years of experience, who is fully qualified in all aspects of the business. There is one one full-time trainee tech who appears to be very mechanically talented. There is one older part-time tech who is learning the service side of the business and would like to stay with the new owner on a part-time basis. The books of the business are on Quick Books and the Seller’s wife is training a full-time office person, who already knows Quick Books, on the books of the business and is very encouraged by her skills. This business provides services to seventy-six plus accounts and is the most significant provider of pool maintenance services in the four surrounding counties. It services residential, commercial, weekend ranchers, vacation homes, and vacation rentals. It does zero advertising and controls a majority of the business. There is substantial room for growth in the business for an owner who could step in and support the existing staff with additional manpower for the more profitable aspects of the business. The current scheuule only allows one day for marketing repairs and improvements to existing equipment or to the adding of features that would enhance the use of the pool by existing clients. A working owner would add substantial profit to the business. The real estate is zoned residential but has been operated as a home based business since 2009. If one wanted to expand the use of the property to include retail, rezoning should not be a problem. The real estate availability cannot be guaranteed at the time you choose to purchase the business.

Established Specialty Pharmacy with Strong Growth Potential
Florida, United States
FL, US
Established in 2004, this premier Florida specialty pharmacy has built a 20-year reputation as a dominant player in the market. Operating out of a sprawling, high-traffic 10,000 sq. ft. facility, the business is a highly oiled machine, consistently dispensing an average of 700 prescriptions every single day. This is being offered as an exclusive "Two-Package Deal," combining a massive retail/specialty footprint with highly lucrative pharmaceutical contracts and licensing. Unmatched Revenue Drivers: What sets this pharmacy apart from standard retail operations are its specialized contracts and licenses, which act as a massive moat against the competition: The 340B Advantage: The pharmacy holds a highly sought-after 340B contract, allowing for significantly widened profit margins on specialty drugs. HIV Collaborative Agreement: A newly executed collaborative agreement with a local 340B doctor allows the pharmacy to directly test for and prescribe HIV medications. This is one of the highest-margin sectors in the specialty pharmacy space and offers massive immediate upside for the new owner. Wholesale License Included: The business holds an active wholesale license, providing an entirely separate, highly profitable B2B revenue channel. Clean PBM Contracts: The business holds active, clean contracts with all major insurance carriers and PBMs, ensuring a seamless transition of cash flow. Strategic Synergy & Expansion - Executing this consolidation will immediately slash overhead costs—including rent, payroll, and dual licensing fees—driving the bottom-line net profit even higher. Operations & Staffing: The current operation is highly efficient and designed to handle volume. The majority owner is retiring after a highly successful two-decade run, and the minority owner is transitioning out to pursue other ventures. This creates the perfect clean-slate opportunity for an experienced operator, expanding pharmacy group, or healthcare investor to take 100% control of a thriving enterprise. Key Investment Highlights at a Glance: Location: Prime Florida Real Estate (10,000 Sq. Ft. Facility) Volume: 700 Rx / Day consistently Coveted Contracts: Active 340B Contract & Wholesale License Growth Catalyst: New HIV testing/prescribing collaborative agreement History: 20 years of goodwill and an established, loyal patient base Next Steps: High-volume 340B specialty pharmacies with wholesale licenses in Florida rarely hit the public market. This will move quickly. Serious buyers must sign an NDA and provide proof of funds to receive the full Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) and financials.

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
