Opportunity to acquire a long-standing, highly respected specialty apparel retail business located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Established over five decades ago, this business has built a loyal, multi-generational customer base and is widely recognized for exceptional service, high-quality apparel, and in-house alteration capabilities.

Operating from a 5,144 sq. ft. facility, the business offers a diversified mix of retail apparel, accessories, rental offerings, and tailoring services. The average customer transaction ranges between $350–$400, reflecting strong per-customer revenue and premium service positioning. Revenue is well balanced, with approximately 60% from retail apparel and accessories, 30% from rentals, and 10% from tailoring services.

A key driver of profitability is the company’s high-margin in-house rental inventory, producing margins of up to 87%, supplemented by relationships with reputable wholesale vendors for additional scale and flexibility. The business also maintains an active e-commerce presence, extending its reach beyond in-store customers.

Operations are supported by an experienced team, including sales staff, tailoring specialists, part-time support, and a structured management group overseeing retail operations, administration, bookkeeping, and alterations. Customized software is used for client intake, rental management, and alteration tracking, allowing for efficient workflow and scalability.

The business benefits from minimal local competition and is currently experiencing increased referral traffic following the recent closure of a long-standing apparel rental provider in the market. In addition, strong digital marketing efforts—SEO, social media, email campaigns, and a large base of positive Google reviews—continue to drive consistent customer demand.

Significant growth opportunities exist, including expanding the existing facility, enhancing online sales, increasing rental selection, and opening additional locations in nearby high-demand markets such as Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, or the Cottonwood Mall area.

Real estate may also be available for purchase, providing an additional investment opportunity and long-term cost stability for an owner-operator or investor.

This opportunity is well suited for a buyer seeking a stable, profitable specialty retail business with strong brand equity, limited competition, and multiple avenues for growth.
