This established wholesale business supplies automotive accessories, warehouse-related supplies, production control items, and related business-use products. Product categories include hats and related items, keytags, accessories, protection products, and other operating supplies used by business customers.
The business has a long operating history, established product flow, existing inventory, vendor relationships, equipment, and customer relationships that may be attractive to an owner-operator, strategic buyer, distributor, manufacturer, or buyer with an existing fulfillment platform.
The company generated approximately $1.5 million in gross receipts in 2024 and approximately $1.3 million in gross receipts in 2025. Historical financial statements include owner-related, related-party, and discretionary expense items that should be reviewed during diligence to better understand normalized earnings and the underlying operating performance of the business.

Included assets are expected to include inventory, equipment, customer relationships, supplier relationships, operating systems, trade names, and associated goodwill. Cash, accounts receivable, and legacy liabilities are expected to be excluded unless otherwise negotiated.
This opportunity may be especially attractive to a buyer that can continue serving the existing customer base, improve sales coverage, optimize inventory and fulfillment, or integrate the business into an existing distribution, manufacturing, or wholesale platform.
All inquiries are confidential. Please do not contact the business, employees, customers, suppliers, landlord, or ownership directly.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 31
- Employees
- 5 Full-time
3 Warehouse employees retiring at end of year; Owner is included in FT count. - Facilities & Assets
- The business operates from its current facility in Azusa, California. The transaction is expected to include the core operating assets used in the business, including inventory, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, tools and dyes, computer equipment/software, operating systems, customer and supplier relationships, trade names, and associated goodwill, subject to final agreement.
Inventory will be valued at closing. Recent records show inventory of approximately $515,000 at year-end 2024 and approximately $484,000 at year-end 2025. Fixed assets include machinery and equipment, tools and dies, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment/software, an AS400 computer system, and a company vehicle. Real estate is not expected to be included unless separately negotiated. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in the specialty wholesale automotive dealer/service department supplies market, best aligned with NAICS 423120 motor vehicle supplies and new parts merchant wholesalers.
Demand is supported by dealership service activity and California documentation requirements: NADA reports 276+ million U.S. dealership repair orders in 2025, while BAR requires estimates, invoices, and records and DMV permits approved reproduced forms.
Competition is split between specialist dealer-supply firms such as Discount Dealer Supplies and broadline distributors such as Amazon Business and Uline. Dealer-specific forms, key tags, custom-imprint dealer items, and California compliance products tend to be more defensible than generic janitorial/MRO items. Exact top-customer and product-mix percentages are unspecified; buyer value-add is stronger digital cataloging and fulfillment. - Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include improving digital cataloging and online ordering, increasing repeat purchases from existing accounts, expanding product penetration across automotive service, dealer-supply, warehouse, and production-control categories, and strengthening customer follow-up. A buyer with an existing distribution, manufacturing, or fulfillment platform may also be able to leverage the business’ customer relationships, inventory base, supplier relationships, and product knowledge to improve sales coverage and operating efficiency.
Additional upside may come from better inventory management, more formal pricing discipline, targeted outreach to dealerships and service departments, and integration into a larger platform with stronger purchasing power, fulfillment systems, and sales infrastructure.
