About the Company

Broker Biography

Introduction

The Route Exchange routes for sale service was created by Jay Armour, the owner of a chip route who grew frustrated while attempting to sell his own route. Most route owners rely heavily on word of mouth to sell their businesses. Unfortunately this does not always provide great results for the seller. Wasting time with leads who aren't serious or aren't qualified is a major problem when trying to sell a route business. With educational and professional backgrounds in internet marketing and business management, Jay created an internet listing with specialized route sales advertising for his own route. The listing generated thousands of views and garnered considerable interest from the advertising that was created. The Route Exchange works with routes for sale in a number of industries ranging from wholesale distribution to vending and FedEx routes. Our process works for any type of route in any area of the country. www.TheRouteExchange.com
