Facilities
The monthly base lease is $3500 with a $600 triple cost, which is pretty reasonable for such a high-traffic location. This lease expires in 2025 and does have an option to renew. Only 840 square footage to maintain. In a mall so lots of constant foot traffic by this front door. Literally hundreds of free parking. Just walking distance to a nearby high school.
Competition
There is no other competition in town.
Growth & Expansion
Because this business is not like a coffee shop where in a mile radius there might be 8-10 coffee shops, this kind of business enjoys very little competition, if any. So if you are good at what you do you could lay claim to the only place in town or the surrounding towns, you could be the pied piper and have this whole adventure $$$ to yourself.
Financing
With at least 70% down case by case basis
Support & Training
This owner has been in this industry literally all his life and is willing to fully train you but also bestow great wisdom and insights that he has learned over the many years. This in itself has value and is definitely not the kind of thing you get if you started this business from scratch.
Reason for Selling
Owner wants to retire
