About the Business
- Employees
- 9 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- The current owners purchased the store without prior grocery experience and have substantially expanded and modernized the operation. After acquiring the business they replaced nearly all equipment, including refrigeration cases, compressors, and coolers. They also expanded product offerings significantly—introducing fresh produce items previously not carried, adding Hunt Brothers Pizza in 2022, implementing a propane exchange, adding a water vending station, and increasing the breadth of the meat market.
Affiliated Foods provided hands-on training and operational support, including professional instruction for employees in meat cutting and produce management. Over the years, the owners developed efficient in-house processes, eliminated non-performing charge accounts, and built a stable team with cross-trained employees.
The owners are selling only due to personal career changes.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Smith's Grocery operates in a lightly competitive environment, typical of rural West Texas. Differentiators include: In-house meat market with special-order capability,
responsive customer service and local relationships, strong seasonal hunter customer base, high-demand Blue Bell product line, Hunt Brothers Pizza volume averaging 25–30 pizzas/day, community-integrated operations supporting fundraisers and events. Because of the rural geography, the next major grocery option beyond Vernon is in Wichita Falls—approximately 1.5 hours away—further reinforcing Smith’s as the default grocery choice for multiple small communities.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Several clear and achievable growth levers are available for the next operator: Digital Marketing & Consistent Facebook Presence, 2. Expansion of Foodservice, Alcohol Sales (Beer & Wine), Increased Special-Order and Bulk Meats, Meat Processing Business, Advertising Beyond Local Newspaper, and Repeat Customer Programs and Events
