Established Family business for sale
Business Description
Established Family Business for Sale - Cowboy Boot Company
This unique cowboy boot manufacturing and retail business has been serving customers since 1974, offering a distinctive boutique experience in the Western and outdoor industry. Operating from a 2,000 square foot leased facility in Bristol, VA, this family-owned company has built a loyal customer base through nearly five decades of quality craftsmanship and personalized service.
Business Overview:
The company specializes in small-batch cowboy boot production, creating specialized products that appeal to customers seeking authentic, non-mass-produced Western wear. With annual revenue of $200,000 and current inventory valued at $275,000, the business demonstrates consistent performance in a niche market. The operation employs 2 staff members and maintains low overhead with monthly lease costs of $1,500.
Unique Market Position:
Unlike big box retailers dominating the Western wear market, this business offers a boutique experience that resonates with customers valuing craftsmanship and authenticity. The company has successfully traveled to major horse and rodeo events across the US since the early 2000s, building relationships with customers nationwide who appreciate the personal touch of a "mom and pop" producer.
Growth Opportunities:
Significant expansion potential exists through increased travel to clientele and enhanced online marketing. The current owner's limited travel schedule has kept the business intentionally small, creating substantial opportunity for new owners to scale operations. The established online platform provides 24/7 product showcase capabilities with endless digital marketing possibilities.
Operational Flexibility:
This relocatable, home-based business model offers operational versatility. New owners can choose between maintaining the current travel-based approach or focusing on maximizing online sales channels.
Owner Support:
The seller will provide 60 days of post-sale assistance to help transition technology systems and business operations, ensuring continuity of established processes and customer relationships.
With FF&E valued at $20,000 and a lease extending through June 2025, this turnkey operation presents an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking entry into the specialized Western wear market with an established brand and customer base.
