Established commercial firewood processing and delivery business serving approximately 47 recurring wholesale/commercial delivery accounts — predominantly convenience stores, along with campgrounds and other retail locations — across a 25-to-30-mile service radius in a fast-growing part of Upstate South Carolina. The business has been built over roughly 13 years around dependable, on-time delivery and a professional, bagged product presentation that has driven substantial word-of-mouth and referral growth.
The sale includes a well-equipped, largely modern processing and hauling fleet: two firewood processors (including a nearly-new, high-capacity unit), a skid steer, a tractor with a full implement package, three dump trailers, and two delivery trucks — along with current processed firewood inventory. Raw material supply is obtained substantially free of charge from local builders, land-clearing contractors, and small loggers looking to avoid landfill disposal fees, keeping the business's cost of goods structurally low.
A notable, ready-to-execute growth opportunity: a regional convenience store chain already buying from this business has proactively asked about extending service into an adjacent state, where its locations currently source firewood indirectly through grocery-store bundle purchases rather than a direct wholesale relationship. The current owner hasn't pursued this due to the added drive time, but it's sitting there for a buyer who wants it.
Highlights
• ~13 years in business under the same ownership
• ~47 recurring commercial delivery accounts, restocked at least monthly
• Full processing and delivery equipment fleet included (2 firewood processors, skid steer, tractor w/ implements, 3 dump trailers, 2 trucks)
• Structurally low raw material cost — most logs obtained free of charge
• Named, ready-to-execute expansion opportunity into an adjacent state with an existing customer
• Simple, low-overhead operation — no formal payroll beyond the owner and spouse
• Efficient, owner-developed bundling process included in the transition

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Owner-occupied 1.6-acre processing yard with equipment storage; real estate is owned separately by the seller and is available as a separate, optional purchase — not included in the asking price above.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- A small number of local competitors, focused primarily on retail rather than this business's wholesale/commercial delivery model. This business differentiates on dependability and product presentation.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Clear opportunity to expand into an adjacent state with an existing multi-location commercial customer who has already asked for it. Additional opportunities include rebuilding kiln-drying capacity for premium product positioning, rebuilding a lost restaurant/cooking-wood customer segment, and scaling raw material sourcing to support higher production volume.

About the Sale
- Transition Support
