Description
The business generated $744,729 in revenue and $263,484 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings in 2025, representing an SDE margin of 35%. SDE has averaged $251,000 over the past three years. The business benefits from a lean operating structure with rent of $2,689 per month from a 1,500-square-foot retail location. The current lease has three years remaining along with renewal options, subject to landlord approval and assignment terms.
The store offers a broad selection of smoke, vape, glass, accessory, cigar, and related specialty products. The business also benefits from an established online presence, a highly rated Google Business Profile with more than 300 reviews, and a customer loyalty program with more than 6,000 enrolled members.
Operations are supported by one full-time and two part-time employees, with average employee tenure of 3-4 years. The owner currently spends 10-20 hours per week overseeing purchasing, inventory, vendor relationships, and general business management. Established systems, vendor relationships, POS processes, and documented reorder procedures are in place to support a smooth transition to new ownership.
For an owner-operator, the opportunity offers substantial existing cash flow with a limited owner time commitment. For an established industry operator, the store represents an attractive portfolio addition with experienced staff, established purchasing relationships, strong margins, and a built-in customer base. Additional growth opportunities include expanding premium product categories, increasing online ordering capabilities, extending hours, and introducing complementary product lines.
The owner is selling to focus on another business and is willing to provide transition support following closing.
For a strategic buyer, this business presents an opportunity to add a proven retail location within a strong commercial corridor. The site’s visibility, parking access, and surrounding tenant mix make it a natural fit within a broader store portfolio or regional platform.
Value creation opportunities include vendor consolidation, purchasing efficiencies, and standardized merchandising across locations. Additional upside can be achieved through brand alignment, centralized marketing, and operational optimization under an established multi-unit infrastructure.
The business offers immediate cash flow with integration efficiencies available post-acquisition, without requiring changes to location or operating hours.

Profitable Bin Store- Discount Retailer Capitalizing on the Grow
Call/Email
Own a thriving bin store that taps into one of the fastest-growing trends in retail: consumers seeking brand-name merchandise at deep discounts. As inflation and value-conscious shopping continue to drive purchasing decisions, bin stores have become destination shopping experiences where customers return week after week to discover new inventory and unbeatable deals. This established operation has built a loyal customer base and a strong reputation for offering constantly changing merchandise sourced from major retailers and liquidation channels. The business has recently increased profitability by strategically purchasing lower-cost, higher-margin inventory loads, resulting in improved margins and stronger cash flow. Proven and profitable business model Strong year-over-year sales and earnings growth Loyal repeat customer base High inventory turnover Excellent supplier relationships Simple operation with low overhead Turnkey opportunity with training and transition support Unlike traditional retail stores, customers visit frequently because inventory changes constantly, creating a "treasure hunt" shopping experience that drives repeat traffic and word-of-mouth referrals. The liquidation and discount retail industry continues to expand as major retailers increase excess inventory sales and consumers actively seek value-priced merchandise. This business is well-positioned to benefit from both trends. Growth Opportunities Expand social media marketing and live product promotions Launch online sales through e-commerce platforms Add additional locations in neighboring markets Increase customer loyalty and referral programs Expand sourcing relationships to access larger inventory volumes This is an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking a profitable, recession-resistant business with strong cash flow, growing demand, and significant upside potential. This is a confidential listing. A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and proof of financial capability will be required for additional details. Growth potential includes expanding into an online sales platform, developing a more robust digital marketing presence, adding additional retail locations, and increasing bulk purchasing from national liquidators to improve margins. The business could also grow by developing private-label product lines, offering wholesale packages to small retailers. With strong demand for value retail and an established sourcing network, the company is well-positioned for scalable growth. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/deerfield/listings/Profitable-Bin-Store-Discount-Retailer-Capitalizing-on-the-Grow

Established, Profitable, Independent Insurance Agency for Sale
$ 1,150,000
Wildly successful independent insurance agency for sale with minimum 35%+ year over year growth since 2020 focusing on mainly personal auto insurance AND a separate revenue stream (i.e. car registration that makes up 46% of revenue) located next to a DMV. We repeat that almost 50% of the revenue of this business comes from car registration sales. For those looking for only a book of insurance business to transfer without this additional revenue stream being taken into consideration, this business is not for you and will not value out based on typical insurance agency metrics. With excellent reviews, this agency has managed to sell and secure over 1,700 policies and 3,700+ customers with direct appointments (no aggregator) located in a southwest suburb of Cook County. Please also note there is a decent amount of non-standard policies within the book of business that is being sold, i.e. 25% standard / 75% non-standard. Carriers included, but are not limited to: Progressive, Nationwide, Berkshire Hathaway (Guard), Hartford, First Chicago, and Foremost. It comes with an excellent, affordable office space. Word of mouth has been their only source of growth so there is still tremendous room to grow with marketing. 2025 gross revenue was over $750k with $370k+ in SDE. Speaking Arabic would be an absolute plus, but not necessary based on the clientele and location of the agency. This an excellent tack on for a buyer that already has an agency and/or it can be rebranded as needed. The seller's preferences would be a buyer that already knows the insurance industry, but it can also serve as a massive head start for someone trying to break into the insurance industry. Inquire within for more information. PREFERRED CASH OR CONVENTIONAL LENDING BUYER FUNDING. Limitless. The agency is just getting going as of late and have just scratched the surfaced of their immediate marketing area. This is also with very minimal marketing. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/lagrange/listings/Established-Profitable-Independent-Insurance-Agency-for-Sale

Massage Franchise in Affluent Area
Call/Email
This is a great chance to pick up two established massage franchise locations in high-traffic Chicagoland retail centers at a price that’s well below what it would cost to build them today. To put it in perspective, opening a new location typically runs about $750K, so building two from scratch would be roughly $1.5M. These two fully built-out, operating locations are available together for $500K, which is about 67% less than replacement cost. Both locations already have strong visibility, loyal clients, and trained staff in place, so there’s no long build-out or ramp-up period. You can step in and keep things running from day one. You also get the backing of a well-known national franchise, along with ongoing corporate support and a market that continues to see strong demand for wellness services in the Chicago area. It’s a solid fit for an owner-operator or an investor looking for a straightforward, scalable business without starting from scratch. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/chicagonorthside/listings/Massage-Franchise-in-Affluent-Area
