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.

Shipping & Business Center, Prime Location, Seller Financing
Bay County, Florida, United States
Bay County, FL, US
This turnkey pack-and-ship and business services center is an established, high-visibility retail location offering shipping, mailboxes, copying/printing, and document services with full multi‑carrier capability (FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL) — a one-stop solution customers appreciate. Independently owned under a recognized shipping and business services brand with no franchise fees or royalties, the operation gives an owner full control and attractive margins to scale. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (approximately $75,000), and combined with leasehold improvements in the space, represents roughly $200,000 of investment already made, allowing a buyer to step into a fully built-out location without that upfront capital outlay. The 1,324 sq ft store sits inside a thriving, anchored lifestyle center in one of the region’s fastest-growing planned communities, surrounded by above-average household incomes and limited direct competition within the center. Key advantages: - Turnkey, fully operational multi‑carrier shipping and mailbox program - Second ownership license included to expand to a second site - Seller financing available to qualified buyers ($50,000 down; 7.75%; 10‑yr amort.; 3‑yr balloon; payment $1,788.16/mo) - One month of hands-on seller training plus structured in-store brand training; a key employee will remain through transition - Low entry barrier—no prior industry experience required for an owner-operator Growth opportunities include deeper mailbox and local business penetration, expanded marketing and community outreach, and rapid upside as the surrounding trade area continues to develop. This is an accessible, scale-ready opportunity for an operator seeking a turnkey location with built-in expansion potential.

40-Year Nutrition and Wellness Center - Bay County, FL
Bay County, Florida, United States
Bay County, FL, US
A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established nutrition and wellness business with nearly 40 years of operating history, strong community recognition, and a deeply loyal customer base. Founded in 1985, this Bay County institution has been built on trusted relationships, personalized guidance, and consistent service—not just product sales. The business generates over $700,000 in annual revenue and $188,103 in seller discretionary earnings. Customers return for personalized supplement guidance, ionic foot detoxification, body pH testing, customized alkaline water systems, thyroid health evaluations, and ongoing wellness support. These consultative services create meaningful customer relationships, repeat visits, and referrals that a chain retailer or online-only competitor cannot easily replicate. The business also offers a proprietary wellness product line developed by the founder, with an established customer following. The line will remain available to the buyer through a wholesale supply arrangement, providing continuity and an additional point of differentiation. An established e-commerce platform contributes approximately 10% of annual sales and gives the new owner a platform for broader geographic reach. With focused digital marketing, improved online merchandising, and customer outreach, this channel offers substantial room for growth. A wellness background is not required. The seller is committed to providing comprehensive training during a three-month transition period. The existing team includes a highly experienced employee with nearly a decade of tenure, along with knowledgeable staff who understand the products, systems, and customer relationships. Consultation services can continue through appropriate licensed professionals or referral arrangements, as applicable. The opportunity is especially well suited to an owner-operator or manager who values customer service, can lead a small team, and is prepared to modernize and expand a respected local brand. The business has historically grown primarily through word-of-mouth and has had limited investment in advertising, leaving clear opportunities to: - Expand digital marketing, social media, and local outreach - Grow e-commerce and national sales - Add complementary wellness services and products - Extend operating hours - Improve merchandising and customer retention programs The business currently occupies approximately 2,800 square feet in two units at a high-traffic shopping center, where it has operated for more than 30 years. Current rent is $7,078 per month, and the lease runs through May 2027. The seller believes the business could operate efficiently from approximately 1,400 square feet, potentially reducing occupancy costs and improving margins. The $589,000 asking price includes approximately $213,000 in inventory and $10,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment. SBA pre-qualification is available. The seller is motivated to identify the right successor and will support a structured three-month transition. This is an opportunity to acquire a proven, relationship-driven business with significant brand equity, recurring customer demand, multiple revenue channels, and meaningful upside for a new owner.

High End Dance and Gym Flooring Retailer Netting Over 33%
California, United States
CA, US
Acquire an established specialty equipment business serving the dance and fitness markets through a streamlined, primarily drop-ship operation. Offered at $595,000, this business combines a longstanding operating history, specialized product knowledge and documented profitability with limited inventory requirements. The company supplies flooring, barres, mirrors, mats and related equipment used in dance, movement and fitness spaces. Its role centers on helping customers select products, preparing quotes, coordinating orders and managing supplier relationships. This provides an opportunity for a buyer seeking an established product-based business with a manageable physical footprint. BUSINESS MODEL The business operates primarily through supplier-direct shipping, reducing the need to purchase, warehouse and handle substantial inventory. Operations are focused on customer service, product selection, quoting, order processing and fulfillment coordination. The current owner reports spending approximately 25–30 hours per week working in the business. This reflects the seller’s experience and familiarity with the operation; a new owner should expect to devote additional time during the transition. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Historical tax returns report approximately: • 2024 revenue: $604,000 • 2024 net profit: $194,000 • 2025 revenue: $573,000 • 2025 net profit: $222,500 These figures represent reported business net profit, not a separate calculation of seller’s discretionary earnings. Qualified buyers will have access to supporting financial information to evaluate operating results, owner involvement and acquisition financing requirements. The business has continued operating in 2026, with interim financial information available for review during due diligence. ACQUISITION HIGHLIGHTS • Established presence in a specialized equipment market • Primarily drop-ship fulfillment with limited inventory requirements • Product offering spanning several dance and fitness equipment categories • Existing websites, trade name and business goodwill • Customer-related records and sales materials • Established quoting and order coordination processes • Seller training to support an orderly ownership transition BUYER FIT This opportunity may suit an owner-operator with experience in sales, customer service, equipment distribution or the dance and fitness industries. A buyer comfortable managing product inquiries, supplier communications and project-based orders would be well positioned to evaluate the operation. An existing equipment supplier or related business may also find value in the company’s product offering, customer relationships and operating history. GROWTH POTENTIAL Potential avenues for a new owner to evaluate include more consistent follow-up on outstanding quotes, renewed outreach to past customers, expanded relationships with studio and facility operators, and improvements to digital marketing and website conversion. These opportunities are prospective and are not included as assumed earnings in the historical financial results. FACILITIES AND TRANSITION The business currently operates from a modest office footprint. Continued occupancy is available through a separately negotiated lease, with proposed initial rent of $1,715 per month for the first year, a one-year initial term and two additional one-year options. Real estate is not included. The seller will provide eight weeks of transition training at 30 hours per week, with the schedule and scope addressed in the purchase agreement. OFFERING TERMS Asking price: $595,000. The seller seeks payment in full at closing, with no seller financing. Buyers may pursue third-party financing, subject to their own qualifications and lender approval. This is a confidential offering. Additional business information and supporting records will be provided to qualified buyers following execution of a nondisclosure agreement and confirmation of financial capacity. Please direct a

Prime Liquor Store & Pizza Business Opportunity with Real Estate Available – Alameda County This is a rare opportunity to acquire a freestanding retail building in a prime, high-visibility location on a busy street in the heart of Alameda County. The property offers strong existing cash flow with additional development potential. The 3,400 square-foot building currently houses a successful liquor store and pizza operation.

In addition, the pizza operation produces between $22,000 and $25,000 per month in gross revenue, with an impressive 75% gross profit margin.

Multi-License Specialty Pharmacy Platform-340B, Compounding, Infusion
Florida, United States
FL, US
AcquiTrust Exclusive! Rare opportunity to acquire a fully licensed, fully accredited specialty pharmacy platform combining three complementary operations under one transaction: a community retail pharmacy, a closed-door specialty pharmacy holding active 340B contract pharmacy agreements, and an ambulatory infusion suite operating within the same facility. What makes this platform difficult to replicate: 17 non-resident pharmacy licenses. Multi-state licensure is the single largest barrier to entry in specialty pharmacy. Building this footprint independently takes two to three years of applications, inspections, and fees. It transfers with this transaction, and the current owner will remain engaged to support the transition. ACHC accreditation under USP 795 and 797 covering sterile, non-sterile, hazardous, and non-hazardous compounding. The facility and clean room are already built, inspected, and accredited. This is a functioning compounding operation, not a plan for one. Three 340B contract pharmacy agreements, recently executed. Contract one is live and currently servicing approximately 25 patients per month through an STD clinic, with volume growing. Contract two goes live in October and represents substantial upside — it serves a federally qualified health center whose commercial BCBS panel alone is approximately 1,500 lives. The health center is dissatisfied with its incumbent pharmacy provider's service levels, and the expectation is exclusive provider status. Contract three is executed and pending activation. Ambulatory infusion suite already operating inside the pharmacy, providing a second revenue channel and a natural referral path from the specialty book. Immediate conversion path to 503A sterile compounding. Because the facility already holds 795/797 ACHC accreditation, the buildout, equipment, and quality systems required for a 503A sterile compounding operation are largely in place. For a buyer targeting the peptide compounding market, the conversion is a matter of registration and process rather than construction and capital. The opportunity — stated plainly This platform is being sold on its infrastructure, licensing, and contracted growth pipeline, not on trailing earnings. Current operations are not profitable, and the reason is specific and correctable: the pharmacy is not sourcing medications at optimal acquisition cost. As a result, a meaningful share of scripts carry negative margin and are being routed away to payer mail-order facilities rather than filled in-house. This is a purchasing and wholesaler-terms problem, not a demand problem. Script volume is present. The infrastructure to fill is present. The licensing to fill across state lines is present. A buyer with an existing GPO relationship, established wholesaler terms, or the working capital to normalize purchasing captures margin on volume that is already walking through the door — plus the volume currently being turned away. Combined revenue is running at approximately $2.1 million annualized on 2026 results, with combined gross margin at 23%. A buyer bringing acquisition cost in line with market norms for a closed-door 340B operation improves that margin materially on existing volume, before any of the contracted growth is counted. It is a strategic transition designed to bring in the right partner to accelerate growth. Seller financing flexibility available. Business will be disclosed only upon execution of an NDA and buyer qualification. Offered Exclusively By: AcquiTrust Advisors- Your Advantage in Every Acquisition.

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.
