Description
$101,842 Annual Revenue from Two Order Channels.
Business Description
Commission income arrives from out-of-area orders without a single additional delivery mile. A partner website routes orders beyond the immediate service area to network florists, returning a commission to this location on every transaction. Local orders move through in-house production across fresh arrangements, plants, gifts, and seasonal décor. Three part-time employees handle that production and service daily. The two-channel structure generates $101,842 in annual revenue.
Wedding florals, funeral arrangements, holiday production, everyday consumer orders, and corporate accounts each contribute to the annual total. No single category carries the full revenue load. Holiday and event peaks layer on top of institutional and corporate account volume that fills the calendar between those surges. That distribution produces consistent billing activity across all twelve months.
The $11,851 in SDE reflects current production volume with that cost advantage already embedded in the financial history. $5,000 in FF&E and $3,000 in inventory transfer at the $49,900 asking price. Thirty days of hands-on training covers production procedures, supplier relationships, and the partner website order workflow.
Business History
Floral retail at this Stark County location dates to 1960. The original production model centered on fresh arrangements and expanded across the following six decades to include plants, gifts, and seasonal décor as consumer purchasing patterns shifted. Partner website integration added a commission revenue channel that operates alongside in-house production without requiring additional staffing or delivery infrastructure.
The business is offered for sale due to owner retirement.
Potential Growth and Expansion
A direct local delivery ordering system captures digital customers without the commission structure that applies to partner-routed out-of-area orders. No facility changes are required to activate that channel.
Funeral homes, hotels, event venues, and Stark County corporate offices represent a direct outreach opportunity. Commercial account expansion requires no additional staff or production equipment.
Wedding florals generate higher per-order margins than everyday consumer arrangements. Bridal show participation and direct outreach to event coordinators build volume on existing production capability.
Seasonal décor and gift retail currently supplement floral revenue. Expanding those product lines for peak holiday periods adds revenue without facility or staffing changes.
A consistent visual presence on image-driven social media platforms reaches the wedding and event planning demographic at minimal cost. That channel is not currently active.
Competitive Overview
Stark County's retail floral market divides across three competitor types. Independent florists in retail space, grocery store floral departments, and national order-gathering services each occupy a different segment. Order-gatherers collect fees from each transaction and route fulfillment to local florists, compressing margins for the fulfilling florist while delivering inconsistent results to the end customer. Grocery departments serve a commodity price point and do not compete for wedding, funeral, or custom arrangement work.
Two structural positions define this operation's standing in that field. The active partner website generates commission income from out-of-area orders without requiring additional production capacity or delivery infrastructure.

Ideal Buyer Profile
$49,900 covers the full business acquisition including FF&E and inventory. The building is negotiated separately. A buyer prepared to work inside the operation daily extracts the most value from the 30-day training period and the existing account relationships. Three part-time employees handle production, but owner presence in client-facing roles drives account retention and development at this revenue level. Retail management, event coordination, or account sales experience translates directly to the wedding and corporate floral expansion opportunities.
Confidentiality Notice
A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum.

Potential Growth & Expansion
Let's talk real estate first: should the new owner buy both the business and the real estate, long-term passive income is available through 6 potential commercial spaces, if the buyer decides to lease them. This residual income is perfect for any investor, and ultimately means the buyer can build equity faster!
Now, the business itself presents multiple avenues for growth under new ownership. While it has maintained strong community recognition for decades, there remain untapped opportunities in both digital marketing and local partnerships that could significantly increase sales and visibility.
Digital Presence & Advertising
Online Marketing: Strategic investment in Google Ads, social media campaigns, and SEO targeting “Stark County florist” and “same-day delivery” keywords could drive higher traffic to the business’s online ordering platform.
E-commerce Expansion: Enhancing the website with modern design, recurring subscription options (weekly, monthly bouquets), and streamlined mobile ordering could capture a younger, tech-savvy audience.
Social Media Branding: Consistent engagement on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest can showcase arrangements and seasonal designs, creating ongoing customer engagement and referral opportunities.
Local Partnerships & Community Engagement
Healthcare Providers & Hospitals: Establishing formal contracts or partnerships with area hospitals and healthcare facilities would provide a steady stream of orders for patient gifts, celebrations, and sympathy flowers.
Funeral Homes & Cemeteries: Strengthening relationships with funeral directors and cemeteries can ensure consistent business in sympathy arrangements and memorial services.
Corporate Accounts: Targeting local businesses, chambers of commerce, and professional organizations for recurring orders (office décor, client gifts, employee recognition) offers another layer of stability.
Schools & Universities: Partnering with area schools and colleges for proms, graduations, fundraisers, and events could provide high-volume seasonal orders.
Event Venues: With the Pro Football Hall of Fame and numerous banquet and reception centers nearby, establishing preferred vendor status for weddings, banquets, and large events could drive significant revenue growth.
Operational Enhancements
Delivery Fleet Expansion: Investing in delivery capacity ensures fast, reliable service, which can differentiate the business from online-only competitors.
Cross-Selling & Upselling: Expanding gift offerings (candles, chocolates, balloons, home décor) provides additional sales per order and creates new seasonal promotions.
Subscription & Membership Models: Offering “flower-of-the-month” clubs, wedding floral packages, and corporate subscription services can secure predictable recurring revenue.
By leveraging its strong brand reputation and community roots, this business has the potential to double its reach with focused marketing and proactive relationship-building, positioning it as the premier full-service florist in Stark County.

Stark County Floral Production, 40 Years, Six Staff
$ 149,900
Stark County Floral Production, 40 Years, Six Staff $397,072 Annual Revenue from a 6,700 Square Foot Purpose-Built Facility Serving Consumer and Commercial Accounts Across Northeast Ohio Business Description Production infrastructure drives this operation. The 6,700 square foot facility was designed from the ground up for floral production and includes a dedicated showroom, multiple design stations, a walk-in cooler, and a delivery garage. That physical footprint is the largest purpose-built floral production space in the immediate Stark County market. No competitor operates from a comparable facility. The infrastructure supports high-volume output across weddings, sympathy arrangements, celebrations, everyday consumer orders, and commercial accounts without the limitations of a converted retail space. Revenue of $397,072 flows through two distinct customer segments. Consumer accounts generate the majority of volume through repeat purchasing patterns built across decades of consistent service. Commercial accounts provide a separate revenue layer with different billing cycles and order profiles. Six full-time employees manage design, production, and delivery under a structured daily workflow. The operational system is documented and in active use. $8,000 in inventory and $12,000 in FF&E transfer at the $149,900 asking price. Rent is absorbed into current operating expenses, and the $82,470 in SDE reflects that cost already factored in. Seller financing is available. Four weeks of hands-on training transfers operational knowledge directly to the incoming owner. Real estate is available separately through Russell Real Estate Services, a licensed Ohio brokerage. A buyer acquires trained staff, established consumer and commercial accounts, a documented operational system, and the largest purpose-built floral production facility in the immediate market. Business History Floral production at this Stark County location began in 1984. The business expanded through a second generation of ownership, with each transition accompanied by growth in physical footprint and service capacity. The current 6,700 square foot facility represents a deliberate capital investment in purpose-built infrastructure that distinguishes this operation from competitors working out of adapted retail or commercial spaces. Four decades of continuous operation produced account depth across both consumer and commercial segments. The brand carries recognition across Stark County through sustained presence at weddings, memorial services, and community events. All required Ohio business licenses and operational permits are current and in good standing. The facility sits on approximately 1.75 acres and has supported the current production model throughout the business's operating history. Potential Growth and Expansion Commercial accounts represent a minority of current revenue. Direct outreach to funeral homes, hotels, corporate offices, and event venues in Stark County expands that segment without adding staff or equipment. Wedding and event florals carry higher per-order margins than everyday consumer arrangements. A targeted outreach effort to bridal shows and regional event planners builds on production capability already in place. The existing e-commerce presence supports expanded online order volume. The 6,700 square foot facility handles increased throughput without physical changes. Delivery infrastructure is in place and operational. Expanding the delivery radius into Summit, Tuscarawas, or Carroll County adds revenue without capital investment in new equipment. The 1.75-acre property accommodates gift retail, plant sales, or seasonal décor lines. No structural changes to the building are required to add those product categories. Competitive Overview Three competitor types divide the Stark County floral market. Independent florists with physical production facilities, grocery store floral departments, and national online order-gathering services each occupy a different segment. Order-gatherers outsource fulfillment to third parties and produce inconsistent results. Grocery departments compete on commodity pricing and do not pursue event or custom arrangement work. Independent florists with owned production infrastructure hold the high-margin segment that generates the strongest per-order revenue. This business operates from the largest purpose-built floral facility in the immediate market. Replicating that footprint requires significant capital and a multi-year construction and licensing timeline. The combination of 40-plus years of account relationships, a trained six-person staff, and a production facility with no comparable local equivalent represents a market position that a new entrant cannot reach without years of development. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $397,072 with SDE of $82,470 (20.8% margin) Founded in 1984, 40-plus years of continuous operation in Stark County 6 full-time employees across design, production, and delivery 6,700 sq ft purpose-built leased facility on approximately 1.75 acres; rent factored into current expenses Real estate available separately through Russell Real Estate Services $8,000 inventory and $12,000 FF&E included in the $149,900 asking price Seller financing available; four weeks of hands-on training provided Reason for sale is retirement Financials Summary Annual Revenue $397,072 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $82,470 SDE Margin 20.8% Asking Price $149,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 1.82x Inventory $8,000 (included) FF&E $12,000 (included) Revenue Trend Stable Ideal Buyer Profile Six employees across design, production, and delivery require daily management presence. $149,900 covers the business acquisition with seller financing available for qualified buyers; real estate is a separate negotiation through Russell Real Estate Services. Floral industry experience shortens the learning curve but is not a hard entry requirement given the trained staff and documented operational systems in place. A buyer with account management or B2B sales experience finds the commercial account expansion opportunity accessible from the first month of ownership. Full-time on-site involvement is required at the current staffing and revenue level. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum.
