Hot Listing
The UPS Store #5592 — South Bend, IN | 3903 Portage Ave.
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 20-year established UPS Store at an attractively priced 2.19× SDE multiple — with no debt transferring to the buyer, a semi-absentee owner structure, and Q1 2026 revenue up 14.4% entering the highest-volume season of the year.
The store runs itself. The current owner works fewer than 15 hours per week. One full-time and one part-time employee manage day-to-day operations, and both plan to stay through the transition. This is a genuine semi-absentee opportunity in a 20-year established location with a loyal, repeat customer base.
The financials are consistent and clean. Cash flow has held steady between $83,000 and $91,000 for three consecutive years, with a 3-year average of $87,648. The seller represents 2025 SDE at $91,208. The 2024 dip in net income is fully explained by elevated income taxes ($17,260) and one-time bank charges ($11,307) — both non-recurring. The underlying business did not change.
The SBA loan is gone. A balance of $88,814 was fully retired in February 2026. No debt transfers to the buyer — free cash flow improves from day one.
