Description
For 28 years, this Nashville-area boutique has built a loyal following as a destination for prom, bridal, and special-occasion dresses — and it's one of the only shops in the region offering professional alterations in-house. The business generated Seller Discretionary Earnings of $88,000 and $87,000 in 2023 and 2024 respectively. The most recent year reflects a deliberate wind-down of inventory as the owners prepared for retirement — not a change in the business itself — and a buyer who restocks for the upcoming season can reasonably expect earnings to return to historical levels.
That combination creates a business with both seasonal upside and recession-resilient recurring revenue — alteration demand held steady even as merchandise sales declined during the wind-down.
The business carries approximately $400,000 in branded designer inventory at cost, and the $175,000 asking price means a buyer acquires that inventory at a meaningful discount before even accounting for the brand, vendor relationships, or equipment included in the sale.
The owners are retiring after nearly two decades at the helm and are offering full transition support, including personal introductions to longstanding vendor relationships and a guided trip to the Atlanta apparel market to help the new owner select the next season's inventory. Out-of-state customers regularly travel in from Kentucky and Alabama due to limited competition in those markets — entirely through organic word-of-mouth and search visibility, with no advertising spend to date.
This is a turnkey opportunity for a buyer with retail, fashion, or alteration experience looking for an established customer base, proven earning history, and a clear path back to historical earnings.
The current owners intentionally slowed inventory purchasing ahead of retirement, which has reduced recent revenue — but it also means a new owner has a clean opportunity to restock for the 2027 prom season with vendor relationships already in place. Alteration demand currently exceeds capacity, leaving room to grow that revenue line by adding alteration staff or capacity. The business has never advertised, so there's a clear opening to grow the out-of-state customer base through even modest digital marketing.

High-Margin Flooring Distributor - $556K SDE, Easy to Run
$ 2,200,000
High-Margin Flooring Distributor - $556K SDE, Easy to Run, No Employees This is a rare opportunity to acquire a simple, highly profitable wholesale flooring distribution business built for the repeat buyer the retail model doesn’t serve. Big‑box chains are designed for homeowners — not builders, contractors, rehabbers, investors, or restoration companies who need consistent SKUs, deep in-stock inventory, and pricing that protects their margins. This company fills that gap. The operation is intentionally lean and easy to run: one owner, no employees, no installation, no job‑site work. The business simply imports proven products by the container, stocks running lines year‑round for immediate availability, and loads orders in minutes. Processes are streamlined, overhead is low, and demand is steady. More than 95% of revenue comes from organic, word‑of‑mouth repeat buyers. Trailing‑12 SDE is $556K on $1.82M revenue, with year‑over‑year growth and virtually no marketing or sales staff, leaving the core growth levers untouched. Included in the sale: a fully equipped warehouse with a below‑market lease, forklifts, delivery truck, racking, a 1,500+ customer database, and long‑standing direct‑import supplier relationships. Ideal for a hands‑on owner‑operator or a buyer/investor who prefers to install a manager and step back. The seller, a 30+ year industry veteran, will provide structured training and a smooth transition. Confidentiality is maintained throughout the process. The business name, exact location, and full CIM are provided only after a signed NDA and proof of funds. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/High-Margin-Flooring-Distributor-556K-SDE-Easy-to-Run

Brand-New Premium Restaurant & Bar - Day-One Operational!
$ 199,000
Owner relocating — turnkey operation ready for immediate transition. A premium Mexican restaurant and full bar concept located in one of Nashville's fastest-growing urban neighborhoods. This turnkey operation spans approximately 4,964 square feet and includes a transferable liquor license, a trained staff of 13, and substantial hard assets — priced on hard-asset value — $300K in FF&E, liquor license, and a 10-year lease — not on earnings, since the concept is six months old and growing. The space features a fully built-out interior and exterior designed for a premium dining and bar experience, including a complete commercial kitchen, full bar setup, and dedicated seating for dine-in and bar service. The lease runs through a 10-year term with two additional 5-year renewal options, providing long-term occupancy stability at a competitive rate for the area. Having opened just five months ago, the business has generated over $440,000 in revenue during that period, with month-over-month growth throughout. The grand opening event and all digital marketing remain entirely unlaunched, representing a clear, low-cost growth opportunity for a new owner. Additional upside includes a happy hour program, private dining and catering packages, and continued benefit from a rapidly growing surrounding population, with several large residential and mixed-use developments underway nearby. A new owner steps into a fully equipped, fully staffed operation with day-one operational capability — avoiding the cost, time, and uncertainty of a ground-up buildout in one of Nashville's most competitive commercial corridors. The grand opening event and all digital marketing (social media, paid search) remain entirely unlaunched. Additional opportunities include private dining and catering packages, expanded hours, and continued benefit from substantial nearby residential and mixed-use development already underway. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/Brand-New-Premium-Restaurant-Bar-Day-One-Operational-

Premium Multi-Unit Children’s Haircare Portfolio
$ 150,000
Available for immediate acquisition is a two-unit portfolio of a premier, modern children’s haircare brand. Strategically anchored in Nashville’s most affluent family corridors—Green Hills and Cool Springs—this business has successfully moved the "kids' cut" from a commodity service to a high-end boutique experience. The current ownership has completed the heavy capital investment phase, spending nearly $600,000 on prime real estate build-outs, site selection, and brand positioning. This is a "Right-Sizing" opportunity for a disciplined owner-operator to step into a fully-staffed, turnkey infrastructure and apply professional management to drive immediate bottom-line performance. Investment Highlights "Tier 1" Real Estate Footprint: Secured long-term leases in the heart of Nashville’s highest-HHI (Household Income) zip codes. These locations are protected by high barriers to entry and provide built-in access to the target demographic. Significant Asset Value: The high-end, minimalist build-outs and custom fixtures are in pristine condition, offering a buyer the ability to own two locations for a fraction of the current replacement/construction cost. Third License Included: The acquisition price includes a pre-approved third location license, providing a clear path to scale and the ability to amortize management costs across a larger footprint. Boutique Revenue Model: A diversified income stream including premium $40+ haircuts, high-margin "experience" add-ons, and a curated retail gallery of non-toxic family products. The Ideal Buyer Profile Initially this is not a "passive" investment; it is a Strategic Turn around Opportunity. This portfolio is best suited for an owner with: Operational Discipline: The ability to audit and optimize labor structures and cost of goods. Marketing Vision: An understanding of how to leverage Nashville’s dense family-influencer networks to drive chair occupancy. Expansion Mindset: A buyer ready to execute the third location and dominate the Middle Tennessee market. Why This Acquisition? For the price of a single new-build startup, an investor can bypass 12+ months of construction delays and skyrocketing build-out costs to own a two-unit platform with immediate cash flow. The "hard work" of the startup phase is complete; the opportunity now lies in sophisticated execution. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/Premium-Multi-Unit-Children’s-Haircare-Portfolio
