Full-Service Hunting, Fishing & Archery Retailer w/ RE - Delmarva, DE
Business Description
Brought to you by Sunbelt Business Brokers of Northern Virginia.
For the right buyer, this is more than a business acquisition. It's a chance to build a second chapter around the outdoors. This full-service hunting, fishing, and archery retailer has served the Delmarva Peninsula for more than a decade, and it's the only local retailer offering this complete of a product line under one roof: hunting, archery, fishing, and clothing & footwear, plus an indoor archery range and firearms transfer services. Ownership describes it as the area's own version of a "mini big-box outdoors store," and there's genuinely nothing else like it nearby.
The business is being offered together with its real estate: an owned, well-maintained retail building on a high-visibility commercial corridor with daily traffic in the tens of thousands of vehicles, in one of the fastest-growing regions in the Mid-Atlantic. Recent capital improvements (a new roof, new siding, and new flooring) mean a buyer isn't stepping into deferred maintenance on day one.
Ownership currently runs the business on a defined, part-time basis, roughly 15 to 20 hours per week combined, while a trained staff handles day-to-day sales and service by department. That means this business can be exactly what you make of it: a hands-on, full-time owner-operator role, a lighter, semi-active involvement built around your own hunting and fishing calendar, or a family business for the next generation to grow into.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• The only full-line hunting, fishing, and archery retailer in its immediate market
• Real estate included, on a high-traffic corridor in a fast-growing region, with recent capital improvements already completed
• A defined, limited weekly ownership time commitment, not a full-time, round-the-clock retail job
• Trained staff already in place, organized by department
• Multiple identified paths for growth, including reviving a proven, high-margin, in-house branded apparel line, building out e-commerce, and expanding product categories
• Established, longstanding local reputation and highly rated customer service
The $2.5 million asking price includes the real estate, current inventory, and the operating business together, the ownership group's preferred outcome for a complete transition. Sellers will also consider alternative structures for the right buyer, including a sale of the business and inventory with a real estate lease-back, or a sale of the real estate separately. Full details are available in the Confidential Information Memorandum upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
Serious, qualified buyers only. Contact Brett Ethridge at Sunbelt Business Brokers of Northern Virginia to request an NDA, complete a Buyer Profile, and receive the full CIM.
