Methow Valley WA Opportunity Profitable Retail Stores

Daily Business, an office supply & art supply store opened January 1999 at the current location in Twisp, WA. Twisp is located in the resort area of the Methow Valley - North Central Washington. There are now two Daily Business stores in the Methow Valley - Twisp and Winthrop. Sales have steadily increased since Daily Business began operations. Buy the Twisp store alone - or both the stores together! Asking price is for Twisp- stand alone. Daily Business started with basic business supplies used in a traditional office but also included items that the popular Valley home-based business might need. Then DB began stocking paints, brushes, canvas and various art supplies. DBs' reputation for reasonably priced supplies and a great selection is appreciated not only by the local customers but also customers from Omak, Chelan and Pateros. DB-Twisp added a second digital black & white copier and a high speed, digital color copier that is networked to a computer so the many graphic artists in town can print posters, flyers and brochures. DB also has a wide-format copier for blue prints. In Nov 2004 DB opened the Winthrop location. DB2 is smaller but focuses on office supplies with limited art supplies. The north Valley is extremely supportive of the Winthrop store. Daily Business is a year round business that is not as affected by the seasonal fluctuations that other Valley businesses endure. The customer base is diverse and DB does not rely on any one industry for its sales. This is a great opportunity to have a more relaxed and peaceful lifestyle. The area is a destination for outdoor enthusiasts x/c trails, snowmobile parks, biking, fishing, hiking. All four seasons of fun. The stores have provided a steady income and the chance to enjoy this beautiful area. This is a unique opportunity.

Competition: Daily Business has worked hard to be a store that the Valley feels good to support The Buy Local sentiment is strong here, but DB did not rely on this suport. COMPETITION Mega-stores were already in place when DB opened. Wal-Mart is in Omak (40 miles). Staples/Costco are in Wenatchee (100 miles). DB offers items at a fair price without the hassle of driving to these towns.Quill & Viking are available, but Valley customers enjoy the shopping experience and not waiting for delivery. DB is within 10 miles of most of the Valley

Growth/Expansion: The Methow Valley has grown over the years. New home starts have increased dramatically and people are moving here to escape the urban lifestyle. DB is positioned for continued growth with the increasing overall popularity of the stores, and the increasing market base of the growing Methow Valley. There are strategies that the current owners believe could increase sales even more and would share with potential owners

Financing: Twisp Building availble for purchase.

Support/Training: Owners are staying in the area and would be willing to provide training and support. Employees have been with the stores long term and are knowledgable of the inventory and the customers

Reason Selling: Owners are looking for a new challenge and to enjoy more personal goals.
