Excellent opportunity to acquire an established, full-service hardware store serving the town and surrounding communities. The store has an established local customer base and serves homeowners, contractors, landlords, farmers and other commercial customers.
The business offers a broad mix of hardware, lumber and building materials, plumbing, electrical, paint, lawn and garden products, animal feed and other everyday home improvement and farm-related products. Hay and straw are also sold from dedicated on-site trailers.
In addition to retail sales, the store provides several valuable services that help generate repeat customer traffic, including high-margin propane refills, key cutting, paint mixing, pool-water testing and UPS drop-off service.
The business occupies an established retail location with approximately 4,000 square feet of gondola merchandising space, along with warehouse capabilities. The operation is well equipped with shelving and displays, computerized systems, professional paint equipment, warehouse forklift, pallet jack, sharpening equipment and other fixtures and equipment necessary for continued operation.
The asking price includes approximately $226,000 in inventory and approximately $45,000 in furniture, fixtures and equipment, providing a new owner with a turnkey operation and substantial tangible assets from day one.
There are numerous opportunities for a motivated new owner to grow the business, including expanding contractor and commercial accounts, increasing lumber and building-material sales, offering local delivery, expanding farm and feed categories, increasing propane volume and developing a stronger digital and social-media presence.
The current owner is willing to provide 30 days of transition assistance, including seven days of on-site training followed by phone support, to help ensure a smooth transition.
This is an opportunity to acquire an established community business with limited direct competition, diversified revenue streams, significant inventory and multiple avenues for future growth.
