- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates from an approximately 1,700 sq ft retail space in a prime, highly walkable historic downtown location. The storefront is thoughtfully designed and merchandised, creating an inviting shopping environment with a natural flow between apparel, home décor, and accessories. Additional space supports backroom storage and inventory management. The lease runs through June 2026 with renewal options available.
Included in the sale are all furniture, fixtures, and equipment necessary for daily operations, including display shelving, clothing racks, checkout counter, POS hardware, and store décor. The business is supported by established systems, including a Shopify POS and inventory platform and integrated e-commerce website, providing a turnkey opportunity for a new owner. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The business is located in DeLand, Florida, a growing Central Florida market known for its vibrant, walkable historic downtown and strong sense of community. The area attracts consistent foot traffic from both locals and visitors, supported by local events, nearby universities, and continued development in the region.
Competition consists primarily of small, independently owned boutiques and specialty retail stores, with limited presence from national chains in the downtown corridor. The business differentiates itself through its curated mix of apparel, home décor, and accessories, along with protected vendor relationships and a strong, loyal customer base. This creates a unique and defensible position within the local market, with continued opportunity for growth as the area expands. - Opportunities for Growth
- The most significant growth opportunity lies in expanding the e-commerce channel, which is currently underutilized relative to the strength of the in-store business. Increased focus on social media marketing, including Instagram content, try-on hauls, and email campaigns, could drive meaningful online sales. Additional opportunities include expanding product offerings, particularly in apparel and exclusive brands, and increasing inventory depth in top-performing categories. Extending store hours, hosting in-store events, and leveraging local partnerships could further enhance foot traffic and customer engagement. With established systems and a strong brand foundation already in place, a new owner has multiple clear avenues to scale both revenue and reach.
