Established Two-Location Equipment Rental and Hardware Retail Business in a Growing Midwest Destination Market

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, two-location equipment rental business serving a growing Midwest destination market with active construction and a strong tourism economy. The business pairs a substantial equipment rental fleet, serving both contractors and homeowners, with a hardware retail counter under a nationally recognized brand, supported by a loyal repeat-customer base and an experienced team already running day-to-day operations. Ownership is pursuing an orderly transition and is open to reasonable transition support.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Dual-location footprint across two established locations in a growing destination market, with steady contractor demand and seasonal tourism-driven activity.
- Diversified revenue base spanning equipment rental, hardware retail, and related services such as outdoor power equipment sales and moving-truck rental, reducing reliance on any single line.
- Substantial owned rental fleet with replacement-cost fair market value well in excess of depreciated book value, the real asset a buyer is actually acquiring.
- Loyal, repeat customer base across two locations, with a nationally recognized brand affiliation driving repeat retail and rental traffic.
- Recognized brand affiliation providing marketing reach, buying power, and brand recognition that would be costly to replicate independently.
- Experienced operating team in place handling day-to-day operations, supporting transferability and a smooth ownership transition.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
- Second-location ramp: the newer second location has scaled rapidly since opening and continues to gain share in a market with limited direct competition.
- Brand-driven demand: a nationally recognized brand affiliation drives retail and rental cross-traffic that is costly to replicate independently.
- Fleet expansion: adding units in demand-constrained categories where utilization already runs high.
- Market expansion: extending the proven two-location model into adjacent regional markets.
