Share on Reddit Business Description
Pure maple syrup is a premium product, and high-grade organic syrup has consistently been in strong demand from discerning buyers willing to pay a substantial markup over lower-quality store brands. This is a prime opportunity for an engaged entrepreneur to take an established brand and break the shackles that have kept it from reaching its ultimate potential. The current Western Mass.-based owners produce syrup (production is currently not part of this offer) but are also the distributors, and while owners are capable of growing the amount of product produced, they are aging out of their ability to further grow the brand. But the nearly 60 stores they work with want more of their syrup brand on their shelves, re-stocked more frequently, and available in more locations. Customers are clamoring for growth, and the current owners need to put their carefully nurtured brand into the hands of good, thoughtful stewards.
About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 50
- Employees
- 4 (2 Full-time, 2 Part-time)
Business is run by owners of the farm. They want to continue producing syrup, bu - Facilities & Assets
- Packing and distribution space within the existing sugarhouse used for syrup production.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Owners make New England organic maple syrup, a highly-prized product that commands a premium price. Unlike many other small and regional maple syrup producers (who often rely on farm stands, farmers markets and county fairs to sell syrup), this business has crafted a strong retail distribution network of dozens of dominant supermarkets across Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. The maple syrup production business is not currently being offered. Owners are offering the packaging and distribution portion of their enterprise. Being offered is both a muscular brand name, and a well-established professional distribution network. Competition on supermarket shelves comes mainly from store-brand lower-quality syrup. But sales have been consistently high for this brand's premium product, and at a premium price.
- Opportunities for Growth
- There is substantial opportunity for buyers to increase same-store sales with more frequent re-stocking, with additional opportunity to service more stores in the established market chains, as well as supplying more niche markets (organic food stores, Asian groceries, etc.).
