Recession-Proof, Long-Standing Second-Hand Store in Western Canada
Business Description
Here is an opportunity to purchase a profitable, well-established secondhand retail franchise with more than 20 years in its market. The business generates steady activity year-round by both purchasing items from the public and selling a constantly refreshed inventory. Operations run with minimal owner involvement, supported by proven franchise systems and an experienced frontline manager. The franchisor is looking for a purchaser who will be active in the business.
This is a business where every day brings new adventure. In the world of the second-hand store the treasure hunt never ends. The thrill of the search, the never-ending curiosity of what will come through the door next and what stories could it tell. Your cleverness and intuition come Alive as you're buying one person's previously loved goods for a good price so the that the next person can secure their new treasure all through your facilitation. Never a dull day in this business.
Inventory and sales are seasonally responsive, with spikes in buying in spring/summer driven by estate clear-outs and garage sales which sets up nicely for the increased sales activity of the Christmas season. The business’s unique buyer-driven inventory model allows daily purchasing, supported by a cash float of $50,000 (included in the purchase price) to weather seasonal swings. Franchisor-led marketing, and a proven in-place manager enable a turnkey transition.
This is a great recession proof business that presents significant moats to AI, China, and Amazon thus significantly reducing operational risk.
