THE Business for Sale Marketplace

2009 sales are up 8.3% over 2008, and net income is already $10,437! This rapidly growing business sells a wide range of name brand sports supplements at discount prices, providing top quality customer service to help fitness-minded people select products that meet their individual needs at prices they can afford. Supplements include products designed to help people bulk up, slim down, and feel better. Other products include vitamins, herbs, drinks, bars and accessories. The business efficiently turned its inventory 3.3 times in 2008 amid sales that were up 85% over 2007. Over 700 customers are preferred customer members, who receive additional discounts and promotional opportunities throughout the year. There are over 580 customer e-mail addresses in the marketing database. The business cooperates with others in the fitness industry – personal trainers, local recreation centers, schools, and gyms – to promote complimentary products and services. There is limited competition from other retail providers and the business enjoys a competitive advantage even over online alternatives since it sells the same products at nearly the same price without additional shipping charges or time. The franchise organization allows the local owner freedom to decide how and with what media to advertise, while still supporting special events, negotiating master distribution contracts, and providing training for new owners and employees. A fitness and nutrition background is a plus for a new owner.
