BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

This unique business serves as a farmer’s market, where many local growers and artisans bring items of all sorts to sell, but due to its strategic location along the Canadian border, also serves as a major package receiving hub for almost 9,000 customers.

This business is nicely diversified. Income streams include package receiving, grocery sales, brand name feed sales for farm animals, birds and domestic pets and four beautifully furnished 2-bed apartments above the store, and two more next door renting at $1,100/month each for a total of $6,600 per month in income.

There are incredible opportunities for growth. With so many customers utilizing the package receiving service, a small tweak in fees results in huge increases in profit. For example, the seller has just (1/1/2024) raised her prices on receiving packages by $1.00 per package. That is annualizing to about $120,000/year in new profit, with no increase in cost of goods or labor.

Small annual increases should optimize income nicely while retaining customers.

The seller is also currently turning away many opportunities to ship packages. By signing on with FedEx, UPS, DHL and the US Post Office as an Authorized Shipper, the owner can add a significant new revenue stream that capitalizes on the existing package receiving business.

There is also a vacant lot (0.84 acres +/-) that can be developed.

The seller has applied for a license to sell liquor, which should also increase sales and foot traffic.
