Listing ID: CK240620PC

Status: Sold

Listing Description

This is a growing, successful and profitable specialized clothing business that continues to gain popularity with Millennials.  Since its opening, the business has seen consistent annual sales and positive net operating profits each year.  Despite the recent economic hardship of COVID-19, causing the closing of the store for about two months, the store’s results were close to 2019, even estimating $100,000 loss in sales due to COVID-19.  2021 was a record year for revenue and profits.

In late 2021, the owners hired a professional  Store Manager that has a Masters Degree in Fashion Merchandising and years of experience in the retail industry.  Since bringing him on board, they have seen a 30% increase in sales for November and December 2021.

Business is being offered at a very reasonable price that is below its valuation because owners are seeking new opportunities.
