Facilities & Assets
Regional landmark on I-70. With proper marketing in this high-traffic location, this retail business can be a traveler's' destination, contractor’s morning ritual & the heartbeat of the town. It’s about an 8,000 sqft bldg with ample parking. In addition to retail floor, it has a kitchen, coffee bar, office. Also a workshop, loading dock & protected green-space, all rare assets downtown. The inventory selection fills a vital need in the growing community. Closest competitor is 10+ mi. away. Real estate (listing price: $500,000) to be sold with business.
Market Outlook / Competition
The store blends its hardware heritage with the warmth and energy of a classic American general store. There is no hardware retailer or big box store within 10 miles. The business is nestled in a rapidly developing community on I-70 west, of St. Louis. Prominent brands and home supply essentials attract daily foot traffic and new customers. Inside, contractors grab breakfast before heading to job sites. Others meet for coffee. Families stop in for paint, plumbing parts, lawn & garden supplies and leave with a sandwich and conversation.


Opportunities for Growth
By leaning into its general store charm while maintaining its hardware core, the business can capture increased food/coffee traffic, expand contractor/local customer relationships, grow event based revenue, and grow destination traffic and gifts + souvenir sales. Expanding the product delivery program & handyman services, along with e-commerce platform would capture more volume. The business will grow with a dynamic marketing mix to reach local customers and be a pit stop for I-70 travelers.
