This is a market-leading, vertically integrated seafood importer and wholesale distribution business based in Houston, Texas. The company has been profitable since its inception in 1999, with a consistent operating history. It is a major seafood distributor in the Houston metropolitan area, with an established market share and network. Its turnkey systems, comprehensive cold-chain infrastructure, and gold-standard industrial certifications set it apart from other distributors.



The business specializes in sourcing, processing, and distributing premium seafood products, including sashimi-grade salmon, tuna, and specialty Japanese seafood, complemented by frozen goods, meats, dry items, and packaging supplies. Through its value-added processing capabilities, including in-house filleting and advanced skin-wrap packaging technology, the company increases margins, enhances product shelf life, reduces waste, and delivers retail-ready products that meet the standards of high-end foodservice clients.



The company primarily serves premium sushi restaurants, Japanese dining establishments, catering companies, and specialty retail clients. It also holds approved vendor status with select franchise operators. With a diverse customer base of approximately 300 accounts and no seasonal or cyclical factors, the company maintains stable revenue streams. Its major metropolitan markets include Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and McAllen, with additional expansion into Louisiana.



The company operates from a fully equipped commercial warehouse facility owned by the seller. The property sits on 37,026 SQ FT of land and includes a 23,760 SQ FT building, featuring an office area (1,993 SQ FT), coolers (2,616 SQ FT), freezer units (5,288 SQ FT), a temperature-controlled checkout room (2,352 SQ FT), dry storage (approximately 9,000 SQ FT), and two 1/2 loading docks.



Operations are supported by specialized equipment and industry certifications, including HACCP and GMP, providing a turnkey, compliance-ready platform for a new owner and significantly reducing the time and capital required to scale the business.



In addition, the company’s fully established cold-chain infrastructure and logistics network enable efficient, recurring delivery routes and provide a scalable foundation for future geographic expansion and product line growth.



To protect key business functions and manage risk, certain operations are structured under separate entities. The import function is conducted through an import LLC to safeguard supply channels, while delivery operations are managed by a trucking freight LLC to limit liability associated with logistics and transportation. The warehouse property is held by a separate property company. All entities are owned by the seller and can be transferred to the buyer at their option.



All operations are run by a team of 14 experienced employees, including one manager. The current owner spends approximately 30 hours per week overseeing overall operations.



Revenue for 2025 is $8,136,409.59, with an adjusted Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $398,046.00 and EBITDA of $248,046.00 (the detailed financial information will be provided after NDA is signed).



The owner is seeking to transition the business due to retirement and is willing to provide training and short-term transition support to ensure continuity. The price is $1,320,000 for the business and $3,500,000 for the real estate, based on valuations prepared by certified business and real estate appraisers. Buyers have the flexibility to acquire the business and the property either together or separately.



This represents a unique opportunity for a strategic buyer or investor to acquire a scalable platform in the high-growth specialty food distribution sector, with immediate cash flow, significant infrastructure, and strong upside through product diversification, digital transformation, and expanded market penetration.
