THIS IS A CONFIDENTIAL LISTING. DO NOT CONTACT THE STORE, EMPLOYEE OR OWNER DIRECTLY.

This specialty retail business, located in Fort Worth, Texas, has been a cornerstone of the community since the 1950's. It has built a strong reputation for providing unique handmade items, party supplies, and seasonal products, particularly Football homecoming-themed goods. The business attracts a diverse and loyal customer base from across the region, supported by its excellent reputation and consistent delivery of quality products and services.
The retail operation offers a range of seasonal items, such as decorative ribbons, custom trinkets, and supplies for assembling elaborate, themed decorations on-site. Year-round products include balloons, stuffed animals, and party supplies, complemented by customization services like handmade bows and intricate balloon arrangements. These offerings do not allow the business to balance seasonal demand with steady, year-round revenue streams... Many would suggest that a new buyer would close the operations 8 months out of the year or add a different offering to sell for 8 months a year.

With a profitable history and financial stability, this business is well-positioned for continued success. Key performance highlights include:

Steady Revenue Growth: Annual revenues have consistently increased over recent years, supported by strong seasonal peaks during the football season. The change to being more of a "build a bear" for football mums has increased the profit margins greatly.
High Margins: Gross profit margins exceed 70%, with net profits regularly surpassing 30% of revenue.
Strong Cash Flow: The business demonstrates consistent seller’s earnings (really just ebitda), providing substantial income for the owner.
The business operates with a team of experienced staff, including full-time, part-time, and temporary employees to meet peak seasonal demands. The issue is the staff that is year around even when the business isn't making money. Infact it loses money 8 months of the year. The current owner plays an active in inventory and payroll and is willing to provide training and guidance to ensure a smooth transition for the new owner.
Marketing efforts rely on a combination of in-store displays, word-of-mouth referrals, and social media engagement. Opportunities for growth include enhancing the online presence, expanding product offerings to include wedding and holiday items, and establishing partnerships with local organizations. Launching an e-commerce platform presents a significant opportunity to reach a broader customer base and increase sales.

This business is ideal for an energetic buyer with basic retail management skills and an interest in community-focused operations. It offers flexibility for a hands-on operator or a strategic investor looking to grow through expanded hours, additional product lines, or potential expansion into new locations.

Priced at $2.2 million, including both the business and real estate, this opportunity provides substantial value. The real estate component ensures stability, while the business offers a turn-key operation with a proven track record of profitability and growth. Financing options are available, with strong potential for lender support given the appraised value of the property and the business's performance.

With the current owner retiring, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, established business with significant room for expansion in a vibrant and growing market.
