Business Description
Historic Retailer w/ Owner-User Real Estate
This iconic local business presents a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established specialty retailer together with its owner-user real estate in a growing Northern Utah market. Founded in 1914, the business has built a loyal customer base and a strong reputation as a destination for hardware, farm and ranch supplies, western wear, outdoor products, housewares, toys, lawn and garden products, and other hard-to-find merchandise.
Highlights
• Over 100 years of operating history and brand recognition
• Approximately $3.1 million historical annual revenue (three-year average)
• Roughly 26,000 square feet of retail and storage space
• Established supplier and buying-group relationships supporting purchasing power and inventory access
• Diversified product mix serving agricultural, rural lifestyle, home improvement, and recreational customers
• Significant potential upside through ecommerce, digital marketing, email marketing and social media, which remain largely undeveloped
• Additional upside through stronger category management, merchandising, and operating efficiencies
The business is ideally suited for an owner-operator, strategic acquirer, regional retailer, or investor seeking a stable operating platform with real estate ownership, a loyal customer base, and meaningful growth opportunities. Ownership is pursuing a retirement transition.
