This sector is characterized by a high emphasis on product quality and freshness, often achieved through daily sourcing. Fast, flexible delivery—especially same-day—and reliable fulfillment execution are critical competitive advantages in maintaining client satisfaction.
Asking price of $1,450,000 for business includes inventory estimated at $250,000, and receivables estimated at $250,000. Building to be purchased for $850,000. Total deal for business and real property is $2,300,000.
