Ice Distribution and Retail with Real Estate
Business Description
Business Summary:
Amazing and thriving business that has been in the community for over 55 years. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a well-known icehouse and real estate with an established operating history, loyal repeat customers, experienced employees, and long-standing supplier relationships. The business has developed a strong reputation within the community, generating consistent customer traffic and repeat businesses. Business is constantly growing. Most of our revenue comes from retail sales to local residents in the weekend. The owner currently works only 3 days per week.
The opportunity to acquire real estate with the business provides a long-term operational stability for the new owner.
The location benefits from excellent visibility, convenient access, ample parking, and a large surrounding residential population that continues to support strong demand.
This acquisition is well suited for (1) owner-operators looking to purchase an established retail business with immediate revenue and well-established cash flow, (2) independent ice companies looking to accelerate growth through acquisition rather than starting from scratch, and (3) regional ice companies seeking to expand their Southern California footprint.
There are various strategies to increase seller’s discretionary income: (1) Actively solicit more businesses from the current niche – refinery, events, and dried-ice delivery; (2) Vacant lots offer another business opportunity such as (a) a car’s radio shop, (b) a merchandiser’s wholesaler, (c) an ice processing facility to expand the ice business; and/or (3) lease it.
