Owner-Operated Wine Business Opportunity
Call/Email
This business operates as a boutique beverage distribution company offering a focused portfolio of proprietary products to established retail accounts. The operation is streamlined and owner-run, requiring no permanent employees, which keeps overhead low and operations flexible. Revenue is driven through direct relationships with retail partners, supported by in-store tastings, merchandising materials, and consistent account management. The business is well-suited for an owner-operator seeking a hands-on opportunity with repeat customers, predictable seasonality, and minimal infrastructure requirements. The alcohol industry provides long-term stability, as consumer demand remains consistent across economic cycles. There are several clear avenues for growth that have not been fully pursued under current ownership. These include expanding the number of retail accounts, increasing the frequency of in-store tastings, and introducing additional complementary products within the existing distribution framework. A buyer with additional sales resources or marketing focus could also increase brand awareness through more consistent digital outreach and promotional activity. Additionally, the operational foundation is already in place to support higher volume without significant increases in fixed costs. With greater emphasis on account development, merchandising, and strategic partnerships, a new owner could meaningfully increase revenues while maintaining the business’s lean operating model. https://tworld.com/locations/Minnesota/northstar/listings/Owner-Operated-Wine-Business-Opportunity

High Traffic Auto Dealership and Repair Shop
$ 800,000
An independently owned, single-location used vehicle dealership for sale. The dealership operates from a street-level lot and showroom, located in a high traffic area. The business is being listed for $50,000 for license rights and business name. The real estate is listed for $750,000 and contains two address lots for a total sale price of $800,000. The inventory is also for sale, but not included in the sale price as inventory turns over quickly. The inventory can be audited and negotiated 2 weeks prior to closing. Current inventory is about 150 vehicles. Inventory consists of cars, trucks, and SUVs, generally priced between roughly $3,000 and $9,000 — an economy segment that serves cost-conscious, credit-challenged, and first-time buyers. The business markets itself on approachability, transparency, and “guaranteed credit approval.” Current online materials emphasize a low-pressure buying experience, detailed vehicle listings with photos, a trade-in valuation tool, and a vehicle-finder/locator service for customers seeking a specific make or model. Operations are supported by a small on-site sales team; standard hours run 10:00 am–7:00 pm Monday–Friday and 9:00 am–6:00 pm Saturday, with the business closed Sundays. Digital merchandising upgrade: Inventory is listed through a legacy dealer-website platform. Modern photography, video walk-arounds, and syndication to Facebook Marketplace, CarGurus, and Cars.com could materially improve lead volume without added cost. This site can also be used for mechanical issues, oil changes and the like, as the property is licensed to also be a mechanic repair shop. Ancillary revenue: Increase service/repair, extended warranty (VSC), or GAP product attachment. Peer BHPH operators in the Twin Cities market commonly monetize these; adding them could increase per-unit revenue without added inventory spend. Site and real estate: A long-held, high-visibility corner lot on a major arterial in a dense corridor is a scarce, defensible asset in a business where lot visibility drives walk-up traffic. https://tworld.com/locations/Minnesota/northstar/listings/High-Traffic-Auto-Dealership-and-Repair-Shop

Award-Winning Outdoor Lighting Distributor
$ 1,200,000
This business operates as a specialized nationwide distributor of outdoor lighting products, serving outdoor service contractors and lighting trade professionals. It sources products directly from manufacturers and supplies materials based on project specifications and designs. The operation benefits from strong supplier relationships and a product offering not typically available through standard retail channels, allowing it to serve a distinct, discerning segment of the outdoor lighting market. The seller is open to a full purchase of the business or to sell a majority percentage. There is significant opportunity to expand revenue by increasing outreach to contractors and related trades, as well as pursuing additional product lines. The business has previously operated at higher revenue levels, evidencing potential for growth under more aggressive sales strategies. Additional upside exists through expanding year-round sales efforts, implementing more proactive marketing strategies, and further leveraging drop-shipping capabilities to reduce overhead and reach a broader customer base. The Seller is also willing to discuss working for the new owner to ensure current customers stay with the company, and that the transition under new management is smooth and seamless. He wants the business to prosper and continue to be successful under new ownership. https://tworld.com/locations/Minnesota/northstar/listings/Award-Winning-Outdoor-Lighting-Distributor

Profitable Restaurant with Instant Growth Potential
$ 379,000
This business is a well-regarded food service operation offering a high-quality menu supported by consistent demand from both individual customers and contracted Monday - Friday catering arrangements. A sizable portion of revenue is anchored by a dependable recurring contract, providing stability and predictable cash flow, capable of covering all facility expenses. The business has developed a strong reputation for its food quality, maintains a loyal customer base, and is highly regarded in town. Its location benefits from proximity to a steady flow of community activity, further supporting day-to-day traffic, with 20% of its revenue coming from take-out orders. The restaurant is conveniently found in the downtown/main street area. There are several clear opportunities for expansion. Extending operating hours into currently underserved time periods, including weekends, presents an immediate avenue for increased revenue. Additional growth could be achieved through marketing efforts (currently not being utilized), strengthening community engagement, and further leveraging the business’s strong reputation for food quality. There is also potential to build upon existing contracted revenue streams by pursuing similar partnerships with other organizations. Lastly, incorporating pull tab options for additional revenue, as well as increased bar/liquor sales. https://tworld.com/locations/Minnesota/northstar/listings/Profitable-Restaurant-with-Instant-Growth-Potential

Custom Railing Fabricator Servicing MSP Metro
$ 400,000
This company designs, fabricates, and installs custom metal railings for both residential and commercial projects. The work ranges from a single stairway railing at someone's home to large-scale railing systems for high-rise buildings in downtown Minneapolis. The business also takes on general metal fabrication and repair work, including walk-in jobs at the shop. Average project size runs around $20,000, and pricing falls between $190 and $300 per linear foot depending on the complexity of the railing. The owners believe a 3 to 4 person team could roughly double the current workload. Right now, capacity is limited to what two people can produce. Hiring a fabricator and an office person would free up time and allow the business to take on more projects at once. The business has done very little formal marketing, so there is room to grow through trade shows, digital marketing, or outreach to engineering firms. A new owner could also choose to do fabrication only and skip the installation side of things if they preferred. https://tworld.com/locations/Minnesota/northstar/listings/Custom-Railing-Fabricator-Servicing-MSP-Metro

Court Surfacing Business | Strong Inbound
$ 990,000
This is a full-service athletic court construction company serving the Twin Cities metro. The only business in Minnesota that offers turn-key court building: site evaluation, excavation, concrete, asphalt, fencing, fixtures, and surfacing. Customer mix is roughly one-third residential, one-third municipal, and one-third school districts. Courts require a resurface every 3-7 years, meaning existing customers are a built-in recurring revenue pipeline. The business has grown on almost zero ad spend. There is opportunity in digital marketing, social media, and paid ads. The owner has run this business alongside a separate full-time venture; it has never had a full-time owner. Continue to grow with part-time oversight, or lean in full-time to accelerate growth. Demand for new pickleball courts is exploding, fueled by pickleball being the fastest-growing sport in the US. The company currently subs out excavation, concrete, asphalt, and fencing. Vertical integration of these trades would capture additional margin. Winter revenue is roughly 10% of the total, leaving room to grow through indoor projects and maintenance. https://tworld.com/locations/Minnesota/northstar/listings/Court-Surfacing-Business-Strong-Inbound
