Legacy contractor-focused retailer with a national online channel and optional prime commercial real estate — immediate cash flow, big upside

Forget Stocks, Invest in the Bedrock of Savannah's Growth: A Turnkey Business with Land to Expand and $195K+ in Cash Flow.

If you want a business that already earns real money, pays you in cash flow, and sits where growth is happening, the current owner is ready to retire, this is it.

This established retail & e‑commerce operation has served contractors, woodworkers, and DIYers for 26+ years. It’s the rare “Main Street meets Amazon” opportunity — a busy brick‑and‑mortar store that also generates stable online sales overnight. The founder built strong supplier relationships and an enviable customer base; the systems, inventory mix, and online platform are turnkey and transferable.

What makes this opportunity special
- Proven, recession‑resilient niche: 26+ years.
- Two income streams: high‑traffic brick & mortar sales plus a growing e‑commerce channel (the best of “Main Street meets Amazon”).
- Strong top line: 2024 gross revenue $1,366,305.
- Real cash benefits today: Seller’s Discretionary Earnings roughly $105,504; owner currently collects about $90,000/year in rent — combined cash flow to the owner ~ $195,504. (Seller will walk a buyer through full SDE adjustments during diligence.)
- Turnkey inventory & FFE: Inventory approx. $200,000; furniture, fixtures & equipment ~$224,841 — plug‑and‑play for an owner‑operator.
- Real estate option: Seller owns two parcels (main building valued ~$900,000 + adjacent lot ~$80,000 = total ~$980,000). Buyers can purchase business only, or acquire the real estate and convert this into a cash‑flowing real estate/operating business combo.

Why now — Savannah & Southeast tailwinds
- Port momentum: The Port of Savannah is one of North America’s busiest container hubs — that traffic drives contractors, logistics companies, and manufacturers needing supply and service nearby. Think of this business as “front door” retail to a booming industrial supply chain.
- Manufacturing & logistics investments across Georgia and the Southeast continue to attract skilled workers, contractors, and new households — all customers for a hardware/industrial retail business.
- Tourism & short‑term rental growth in Savannah increases DIY and renovation demand from second‑home owners and property managers.
- Favorable financing: SBA 7(a) and 504 loans remain powerful tools for buyers who want business + real estate. Structured correctly, this can be an owner‑occupied loan that builds equity and keeps debt service manageable.

Modern analogies to help you picture it
- “Like owning a high‑yield REIT slice and a dividend‑paying local business at the same time.”
- “Think ‘Home Depot meets Shopify’ — steady in‑store traffic with scalable online upside.”
- “A franchise‑like system without franchise fees: long track record, recognizable brands in inventory, and room to scale.”

Fast growth plays (how a new owner can accelerate returns)
- Expand e‑commerce: optimize marketplaces, invest in paid ads, and add subscribe/replenishment models for B2B customers.
- Add contractor services & tool rental: higher margin, recurring revenue, and more foot traffic.
- Sell or develop the adjacent lot: build rental income or expand footprint for new product lines.
- B2B programs: formalize contractor accounts, fleet discounts and recurring supply contracts with local builders and manufacturers.

Real estate benefits
- Immediate appreciation potential: Port‑adjacent commercial real estate historically outperforms general CRE in strong logistics markets.
- Income diversification: lease to the operating business (owner‑occupied) or third parties for steady CRE cash flow.
- SBA‑friendly asset: owner‑occupied CRE can be financed through SBA vehicles with long terms and attractive structures.
- Expansion potential: extra lot provides scale options (storage, additional showroom, or secondary revenue stream).

Financial snapshot (high‑level)
- Asking price (business only): $550,000
- 2024 Gross Revenue: $1,366,305
- Owner‑reported SDE: ~$105,504 (plus $90,000 owner‑paid rent to seller = combined ~$195,504)
- Inventory: ~$200,000 (included in sale terms)
- FFE: ~$224,841
- Real estate value (seller owned): ~$980,000 (main building + adjacent lot) — available as an add‑on. This means loner financing, better terms, building more equity from day one!

Target buyer profiles
- Owner‑operators experienced in retail, hardware, construction supply, or building trades.
- Contractors/trade groups wanting vertical integration.
- Private investors seeking a CRE + operating business combo near a major port.
- Strategic buyers who want an established e‑commerce base to scale regionally or nationally.

Why this is a low‑risk, high‑upside buy
- 26+ years of market credibility and loyal customer relationships.
- Diversified revenue (in‑store + online) reduces single‑channel risk.
- Tangible inventory and equipment reduce start‑up uncertainty.
- Optional CRE purchase converts the deal into a long‑term asset play.

Picture this: It’s December 2026
You’re opening boxes on a quiet morning, watching online orders roll in while your staff gets the showroom ready for holiday contractors. You host a small community event, contractors bring in referrals, and your new rental program is bringing predictable monthly revenue. You bought a business that pays you and builds equity—one that’s ready to benefit from Savannah’s growth story.
