Share on Reddit Business Description
An established, fully-operating specialty family care clinic running under a recognized national franchise brand in the greater Charleston, South Carolina market. Offered turnkey: all equipment, the completed buildout, the brand license and training system, an existing customer base, and the South Carolina state-area development rights, which convey the ability to develop the brand across the state rather than operate a single unit.
The clinic provides professional lice and nit detection and removal - a recurring, non-discretionary service tied to school and camp calendars rather than to the economy. Families do not defer treatment, and the category is largely insulated from downturns and from e-commerce. Volume peaks in the back-to-school Q3/Q4 window. Q4 2025 produced $46,000 in sales and 2026 year-to-date is $54,000, supporting a seasonally-adjusted annualized run rate of approximately $148,000. Figures are seller-provided; buyer to verify in due diligence.
The opportunity is the operating gap. The current owner runs the clinic roughly three days per week, around a separate business, and draws no salary. The franchise operating standard is five days, 9am to 5pm. A full-time, hands-on owner has clear room to grow revenue through the peak season without adding a square foot or a dollar of buildout.
A buyer is open for business on day one: no site selection, no construction, no permitting, no cold-start marketing spend, and no waiting for a customer base to form. The one-time $17,500 franchise transfer fee is included in the asking price, and the buyer does not pay the franchisor's $35,000 initial franchise fee. Tangible assets alone - equipment, POS, leasehold improvements and inventory - carry roughly $20,000 of value.
Premises are approximately 750 SF at roughly $2,530 per month all-in ($2,000 base plus approximately $530 NNN), with lease term to September 15, 2027 and one three-year renewal option.
Transfer is subject to franchisor approval of the buyer and to landlord consent on the lease assignment. Full financials, the franchise agreement and the lease are available for review under NDA.

- Facilities & Assets
- Efficient ~750 SF clinic-style retail suite in a well-trafficked suburban corridor, professionally built out for the concept. Four salon chairs and treatment stations, Square tablet POS and booking system, and TV convey. Sale includes furniture, fixtures & equipment ($11,000), leasehold improvements (~$6,300) and inventory/supplies (~$3,000) - roughly $20,000 in tangible assets. Lease runs through September 15, 2027 with one 3-year renewal option: $2,000/month base rent plus approximately $530/month NNN, with 3% annual increases. Assignment requires landlord consent, a $1,500 assignment fee and an assumption agreement; a longer term can be negotiated with the landlord at the buyer's election.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Need-based, non-discretionary service with recurring demand from schools, camps and pediatric referral networks - largely recession- and e-commerce-resistant. Located in one of coastal South Carolina's most affluent, fastest-growing communities, with strong family demographics and limited direct competition in the immediate trade area. The category competes principally against over-the-counter home treatments, which are widely reported to be losing efficacy against resistant strains, and against a thin field of independent operators and mobile technicians. Professional, guaranteed treatment in a single visit is the differentiator. The franchise brings national brand recognition, a proven clinical protocol, proprietary products, a protected territory, and system-directed SEO and paid search. Referral relationships with pediatricians, schools, camps and daycares are the primary moat and remain underdeveloped - an opening for an active operator.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Sale includes the South Carolina state-area development rights - the buyer acquires not just this established location but the right to develop and expand the franchise territory across the state. That is a key value driver versus opening a single new unit. Nearer-term levers, none requiring capital: (1) Hours - the current owner operates only 3 days per week around another business; a full-time operator running 5-6 days through the Q3/Q4 peak has immediate revenue upside. (2) Institutional referrals - screening and referral agreements with schools, daycares, camps, pediatric practices and youth sports, a repeatable low-cost channel that is barely tapped. (3) Mobile and in-home service - a premium-priced line with minimal incremental overhead. (4) Retail product attach at point of treatment.
