Established retail store for sale with real estate
Business Description
Grocery/General Store with additional building for retail or ARBNB
Summary
Established in 2011, this organized discount grocery & general-merch store with deli/ice cream is a genuine community hub where locals shop, meet friends, and linger. A reliable, friendly team keeps day-to-day operations smooth. The owners haven’t had the time to keep pushing growth, so there’s clear upside for a hands-on operator to unlock the store’s full potential while preserving its small-town heart.
Highlights:
- ~10,000 SF climate-controlled steel building on ~10 acres; ample chip-and-seal parking
- Separate ~3,000 SF multi-use building (Airbnb income or second storefront)
- Open Sundays; currently closed Saturdays for religious observance (clear demand upside)
- Loyal customer base with an active rewards program for targeted weekly promos
- Inventory and FF&E included; real estate included (see listing details)
- Experienced 12-person staff; sellers will support a smooth transition
Why it works
The formula is simple and sticky: everyday staples kept in stock (case-lot essentials), curated closeout/general-merch finds, and a clean, climate-controlled, easy-to-shop layout—plus deli and ice cream that keep baskets (and smiles) up. It’s a place people plan their week around, with steady repeat traffic and destination shoppers who make the drive for value and selection.
Where the upside is
This store has been running on cruise control as the owners focus on grandkids, health, and other commitments. A present owner-operator—or someone who knows how to put light systems in place—can tighten sourcing of closeout loads, refresh merchandising, run consistent weekly deals through the existing rewards audience, and open Saturdays to capture the busiest tourist/local day. The second building can remain an Airbnb for steady side income or become a complementary storefront; the acreage allows pop-ups, events, added warehouse, or future expansion—without losing the local feel.
Real estate & transition
You’re acquiring meaningful real estate with room to grow, walk-in coolers/freezers, deli/ice-cream counter, and plentiful parking. Sellers will provide vendor introductions, operating playbooks, and practical training to ensure a confident handoff.
