Profitable Pet Boutique in Prime Marin Location
Business Description
Well-established, community-loved high-end pet boutique located in a prime downtown Marin County shopping center. Successfully operating for 3 years, this turnkey retail business offers a stable foundation with significant upside potential for a motivated, hands-on owner-operator.
The entity currently operates a separate treat production activity under the same company. For clarity and accuracy, the financial figures presented reflect adjusted Seller’s Discretionary Earnings that isolate the retail store performance only. Adjustments remove production-related income and expenses and normalize operating costs to reflect a retail-only operation with an owner working approximately 4 days per week, 7 hours per day. Employees cover 3 out of 7 days per week. Detailed financial reconciliation will be provided to qualified buyers under NDA.
This is the only high-end pet boutique located in the downtown/residential west side of the city, operating with virtually no direct boutique-style competition in the immediate trade area. The store is situated in a prime location within the only high-end shopping center in downtown, featuring its own dedicated parking lot and strong daily foot traffic.
The center is anchored by the busiest coffee shop in town and two well-known local restaurants, alongside several complementary boutiques, creating a strong lifestyle retail environment.
Over the past 3 years, the store has built a strong local reputation and brand presence, including:
• 50+ five-star Google reviews
• Multiple nominations and/or awards as “Best Pet Store” in local magazines and newspapers
• Strong Instagram presence with 6,000+ followers
• Email marketing list with 1,200+ contacts
• Established branding and loyal repeat customer base
All digital assets, branding, social media accounts, and email lists are included in the sale.
The business has substantial untapped potential. Current owners maintain minimal active marketing efforts beyond keeping the store open. No paid advertising is currently in place, ecommerce has not been actively scaled or promoted, and no structured local partnerships or recurring in-store events are being executed.
Opportunities include launching paid digital advertising, optimizing and scaling ecommerce, building partnerships with dog trainers and complementary brands, hosting recurring events, increasing community engagement, improving signage and local visibility, and leveraging the existing social media and email database to increase customer retention and sales.
Expansion into ecommerce offers access to a U.S. pet ecommerce market exceeding $33+ billion annually, growing at approximately 7% per year.
Lease is assignable with landlord approval. Landlord review of the new owner is standard practice for small retail businesses. No known lease issues.
Owners are focusing their time and energy on other business ventures and personal priorities. Additional details can be discussed with qualified buyers.
The sale will be structured as an asset sale. The buyer will acquire all business assets, goodwill, inventory, FF&E, digital assets, and lease assignment. The legal entity (LLC) is not included in the sale.
Serious inquiries only. NDA required prior to sharing detailed financials.
