High-Margin 3-Store Retail Group on the Emerald Coast
Business Description
Imagine stepping into one of the Southeast’s most coveted retail destinations, a place where millions of visitors pass through each year, where restaurants and attractions overflow with guests, and where retail space is fully leased with a five-year wait list just to get in. For most, gaining entry is impossible. For you, this acquisition opens the door immediately.
This opportunity includes three specialty retail stores, each strategically located just steps apart in the heart of this bustling destination. Positioned between the area’s most popular dining and entertainment venues, the stores benefit from steady foot traffic at all hours of the day. Guests waiting for nearby attractions naturally flow into the shops, creating a built-in customer base that returns season after season.
The stores themselves feature a diverse mix of product categories designed to appeal to a wide range of visitors, everything from trend-forward merchandise to timeless keepsakes that capture the memory of a trip. This variety not only drives high transaction volume but also produces a remarkable 69% gross profit margin across the group.
A full team is already in place, including a General Manager, Merchandise Director, and Store Leads, making this a true absentee-run operation. The current owner built the model for scalability and profitability, so you can step in and start earning from day one.
This is more than just a retail group, it is an exclusive seat at the table in a marketplace very few will ever access. Securing one location in this fully leased destination with a five-year wait list is rare, but owning three strategically placed stores here is nearly unheard of.

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- The business includes three specialty retail stores strategically positioned in one of the Southeast’s busiest tourist destinations. The shopping and entertainment center is fully leased with a five-year wait list, making entry nearly impossible without acquisition. Sale includes all FF&E, displays, POS systems, current inventory, domain names, and supplier relationships. Stores were designed for efficiency and absentee ownership, with updated fixtures and systems in place for a seamless transition.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in a premier tourist destination that attracts millions of visitors annually. Retail space in this complex is fully leased with a five-year wait list, creating a significant barrier to entry. Competition within the center is minimal due to exclusivity agreements and limited storefront availability. These factors allow the three stores to thrive with steady foot traffic and high repeat customer activity, while new entrants face virtually no path to entry without acquisition.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant opportunity exists to expand revenue by adding new product lines already available through existing suppliers, implementing local marketing initiatives, and exploring e-commerce sales, which the current owner has not pursued. Additional growth can come from expanding into nearby retail centers or enhancing customer engagement strategies to capture more repeat visitors and seasonal demand. These untapped avenues provide a clear path for scaling an already profitable, absentee-run business.
