K-12 Textbook Wholesaler
Call/Email
CF : $ 1,100,000
Accepting indications of interest until January 30, 2026. This is a well-established wholesaler of quality, pre-owned affordable textbooks to K-12 public schools, private schools, school districts, and charter schools everywhere. The fundamentals of the pre-owned textbook business are strong. They're less expensive: a big plus for districts and schools (public and private) impacted by budget cuts. They're required: schools teach an established curriculum for 5-10 years, which means using a consistent set of textbooks over a long period of time. Several states even have laws requiring students have access to two sets of textbooks: one at home and one in-class (or on campus). Schools are repeat business: every year, a new class of kids adds wear, tear, and destruction to last year’s books. Finally, some schools simply prefer the material as presented by older textbooks. Over the last 20+ years, the company has built a robust customer database of 750+ schools and districts and currently owns and operates a warehouse with 110,000+ textbooks in stock. The business sells both wholesale direct and via e-commerce platforms (85%/15% split). The business enjoys outstanding cash flow and profitability in this strongly seasonal business (May through October). For those interested in purchasing real estate, the warehouse is also available to purchase, and was recently appraised at $2.49M. This opportunity that checks all the boxes: outstanding profitability, repeat customers, huge growth potential, is recession resistant, has repeat business, and the opportunity to acquire ideally suited real estate. Next Steps We are currently accepting Indications of Interest (IOIs). To qualify, buyers must provide a Buyer Bio / Capability Sheet and Proof of Funds. Must have the capacity and experience to smoothly and efficiently execute the transaction process; busy season begins mid-May. No absentee investors, please. The ideal buyer will have the experience to build a sales team and implement systems at scale to take the business to the next level.

$ 87,000
CF : $ 159,812
Market Sushi Franchise for Sale in a Major Supermarket – Stable Income Structure This Market Sushi franchise is located inside a major national grocery chain, benefiting from strong and consistent foot traffic on both weekdays and weekends. Due to the nature of the supermarket environment, the business is minimally affected by seasonal factors and maintains stable demand throughout the year. -->Financial Summary (2025) Annual Gross Revenue: $383,426 Average Annual Net Income: $159,812 Average Monthly Net Profit: Approximately $13,317 Supported by a diverse customer base, the business maintains steady revenue year-round. -->Current Operating Structure The business is operated under a two-person partnership model with no hired employees. Both partners work together or rotate shifts Start work around 8:00 AM Most production and display preparation is completed by approximately 2:30 PM Work is concentrated in the morning, allowing flexibility in the afternoon for rest or personal activities This structure allows for strong profitability while maintaining work-life balance. -->Ideal Size for Two-Person Operation Market Sushi locations are difficult to operate alone, yet many smaller units are inefficient for two workers. Larger locations often require hiring employees, which can create additional challenges such as: Union-related requirements Complex hiring procedures Termination and HR risks This location is ideally sized for two partners to operate efficiently without hiring staff. It is currently run by a couple or partnership team. -->Prime Location Advantages The surrounding area provides a balanced mix of customer demand: Students from nearby universities (LMU, OTIS) Residents from dense residential neighborhoods Commuting professionals and lunch-time customers This is not a vacation-dependent area and enjoys stable consumer demand throughout the year. -->Spacious and Efficient Kitchen & Prep Area One of the key strengths of this location is its unusually large preparation space compared to other units. Approximately double the prep space of typical locations Dedicated sushi cooking range Space for two large rice cookers Capacity for additional small freezers Independent layout separate from the deli area Unlike some locations where the deli oven is located directly behind the sushi station, this unit offers better workflow, reduced heat exposure, and improved operational efficiency. -->Covered Parking – A Rare Advantage Parking conditions play an important role in operator comfort and productivity.

This is a rare benefit compared to most exposed parking areas. -->Strong Relationship with Ralph’s Management Maintaining a positive relationship with the host supermarket (Ralph’s) is critical in Market Sushi operations. This location has: Maintained strong cooperation with store managers and staff Operated smoothly for over two years without major issues Provided a comfortable and professional working environment This relationship represents a valuable intangible asset for long-term success. -->Franchise Structure This business operates under the Market Sushi franchise system.
