Established Snack Route | $399K+ Sales | Asking $99K
Business Description
Established snack distribution route serving Ocala, The Villages, Gainesville, and surrounding North Central Florida markets. Priced at $99,000, the business generated approximately $399,800 in gross sales over the most recent 52-week period, averaging approximately $7,700 per week.
The route has an established retail footprint with products distributed through major grocery and big-box retailers including Publix, Walmart/Walmart Supercenter, Winn-Dixie/Harveys, Target, Bravo Supermarket, Key Food, and independent grocery locations.
Current ownership operates the business around other employment, creating an opportunity for a dedicated owner-operator to focus more time on route development, merchandising, account penetration, and overall operating efficiency. Gainesville is currently serviced Tuesday and Wednesday, while Ocala and The Villages are serviced throughout the week, excluding Sunday.
An important growth opportunity exists within the existing market footprint. Route information identifies retail locations that are not currently carrying product or are not presently being serviced. A new owner may have opportunities to increase route density and sales by developing additional eligible locations, subject to distributor authorization.
The sale includes three handheld systems with DEX capability and printers used to operate the routes. Inventory on hand will be counted and transferred at closing pursuant to the transaction terms.
A one-time refundable distributor security deposit equal to approximately one week of average sales is required separately from the purchase price. Based on current sales, the deposit is estimated at approximately $7,600, with the final amount determined prior to closing.
This is an established route operation with nearly $400,000 in annual sales, recognizable retail accounts, an existing delivery infrastructure, and identifiable opportunities for continued development under a dedicated owner-operator.
