Profitable Long Standing Retail Hot Tub and Hearth Appliances
$ 1,595,000
This established specialty retailer has been serving its market since 1984 and is recognized as a long-standing provider of hot tubs, swim spas, fireplaces, and stoves. The business operates from a high-visibility showroom with live product displays, supported by a separate warehouse that manages inventory and distribution. Revenue is derived from two main categories: hot tubs and hearth appliances. The company has also positioned itself to expand into the growing wellness segment with cold plunge units, and new ownership could add complementary products such as saunas. Inventory is organized across value, premium, and luxury tiers, allowing staff to efficiently match products to customer budgets and preferences. Seller is retiring and is very motivated to sell. SBA Pre-Qualified with a buyer injection of 15%. Retail location real property is being offered for sale to a well qualified buyer at $2,200,000. Location has 7,700 square feet on a highly visible location with high traffic counts. Lease back from Seller is also offered with terms TBD.

Iconic Mountain Sporting Goods Store
$ 1,100,000
Central Sierra Nevada • 30+ Years of Community Trust Asking Price: $1,100,000 — Includes $350,000 in Inventory THE NUMBERS TELL THE STORY $1M+ Annual Revenue $290K+ Seller’s Discretionary Earnings Why This Business Works Only full-service sporting goods store within 50 miles — Amazon can’t compete with walk-in availability. Prime highway location: every vehicle heading to the lakes or ski resort passes the front door. Loyal customer base built over 30+ years serving skiers, anglers, hikers, campers, and locals. Experienced assistant manager and knowledgeable, long-term core staff already in place. All full-time, year-round employees have been with the store for 2 to 3 years. Includes $350,000 in current, quality inventory — step right in to a profitable, operational business, no ramp-up needed. Proprietary AI-Powered Management Software — In Development Custom-built AI-powered management software, designed by the owners specifically for this operation, is currently in development and expected to be complete within 60–90 days. Built from 30+ years of real-world retail experience, the platform will streamline orders, inventory, vendor management, automate communications, organize financial and operational workflows, and manage employee scheduling — saving dozens of hours per month and giving the new owner a meaningful competitive advantage from day one. Untapped Revenue Streams Rental equipment expansion: The current rental program represents only a fraction of the potential — significant opportunity exists to expand offerings and grow this high-margin revenue stream immediately. E-commerce and online presence: Virtually no digital sales channel currently exists, representing a significant untapped opportunity. Extended seasonal offerings and guided experiences to capture more of the region’s growing outdoor tourism market. Secure Location — Owner-Provided Lease The building is owned by the sellers, who will provide a long-term, competitively priced lease to the buyer. This gives you the stability of a prime location without the capital requirement of a real estate purchase — and eliminates the risk of a landlord forcing a move. Why Is It for Sale? The owners operate multiple businesses and are transitioning toward semi-retirement. This is a deliberate, planned exit — not a distressed sale. The business is healthy, the team is strong, and the sellers are motivated to find the right buyer and ensure a smooth transition. Ready to Learn More? Qualified buyers will receive complete financial documentation. Contact us today to begin the conversation.

Los Angeles County, California
Established Specialty Fireplace & Chimney Services Business
$ 95,000
OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW A long-established, profitable specialty retailer and service provider of fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and chimney systems serving homeowners across Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and the broader greater Los Angeles area. The Company has built a durable, referral-driven business over three decades, generating revenue from new fireplace installations, recurring chimney cleaning and maintenance service calls, and the sale of related parts and accessories. Premium dealer relationships with leading manufacturers support healthy installation gross margins. The owner is retiring after 33 years of ownership and is offering the business on a turnkey basis. Recent revenue softness reflects reduced owner activity in the pre-retirement window — not a structural decline — and the owner consistently observes that incremental marketing produces an immediate, outsized backlog of inquiries, suggesting meaningful latent demand and a 2x–3x revenue runway for an active operator. BUSINESS SNAPSHOT Industry Specialty fireplace & chimney services Location Pasadena, CA / San Gabriel Valley Years in Business 30+ years Legal Form C-Corporation Facility 1,500 sq ft retail showroom (leased) Staff Owner-operator + 1 part-time technician (20-yr tenure) Reason for Sale Owner retirement FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT Revenue (3-Yr Avg) ~$435,000 Revenue (FY 2025) ~$324,000 Recast SDE (3-Yr Avg) ~$60,000 Recast SDE (FY 2025) ~$66,000 SDE Margin (FY 2025) 20.3% Asking Price $125,000 INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS •30+ year operating history with strong local brand recognition and consistently positive Yelp / Google reviews. •Stable recast SDE of $55K–$66K despite the owner's deliberate pre-retirement wind-down. •Recurring service revenue base — annual chimney cleaning and maintenance from an installed customer base built over three decades. •Premium supplier relationships with leading manufacturers support great installation gross margins. •Highly tenured part-time technician (20-year staff member) supports operational continuity through transition. •Multiple identified growth levers: digital marketing activation, recurring maintenance subscription, second installation crew, B2B / trade channel. •Cooperative seller — open to seller financing, training (2–4 weeks at no cost), consulting arrangement, and a 3-year non-compete. •Lean cost structure, low working-capital requirements, and a fully transferable operating model. https://tworld.com/locations/California/lametrone/listings/Established-Specialty-Fireplace-Chimney-Services-Business

Established Discount Retail Business for Sale
$ 300,000
This well-established discount retail store, operating since 1998, serves a thriving Riverside community with a diverse range of consumer goods, including men’s and women’s clothing, general merchandise, makeup, and seasonal items, priced competitively between $0.49 and $60.00, with most items ranging from $1.00 to $20.00. Located in a 6,767 sqft facility with low rent of approximately $1 per square foot (including CAM) and a lease extending to July 2028 with renewal options, the business benefits from a strategic location with high visibility, ample parking, and steady foot traffic from a growing residential and commercial area. The store operates with efficient systems, optimized store layout, and well-trained staff of three full-time employees, ensuring smooth operations and high customer satisfaction (4.3/5 Google rating). With an estimated inventory of $175,000 and multiple revenue streams, the business achieves high inventory turnover and consistent profitability, evidenced by a 2023 gross revenue of $777,218 and Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $121,019 for the 12 months ending June 2024. The current owner offers two weeks of free training to ensure a seamless transition, with optional consulting support post-sale. Significant growth opportunities await the new owner. Extending operating hours beyond the current Sunday–Friday 10 AM–6 PM and Saturday 9 AM–6 PM schedule (previously 7:30 PM pre-pandemic) could boost sales. Expanding inventory with more high-demand items or introducing new merchandise and services—such as screen printing, key making, or floral offerings—could drive additional foot traffic and revenue. The growing Riverside community provides a natural market for increased customer acquisition through targeted digital marketing, social media engagement, or loyalty programs. E-commerce integration or specialized product lines could further capture untapped market segments, building on the business’s established vendor relationships and proven model. https://tworld.com/locations/California/sandiegocountyeast/listings/Established-Discount-Retail-Business-for-Sale
