Business for Sale Overview:

Leisure product sales is a fun business and pool/spa construction and installation is both creative and offers an opportunity to get out from behind a desk. This business has served McHenry & Lake Counties for nearly 35 years, providing in-ground pool construction, above ground pool & spa sales & installation as well as pool product & pool supply retail sales. Pool sales & service has always been their mainstay business. This is a seasonal business allowing an owner the option of becoming a snow-bird (vacationing during the winter in a warmer climate), or adding products & services to compliment your seasonal business (i.e. game room furniture & accessories, tanning beds, sauna construction & supplies, etc.). The business has established a long list of local installations. Once you’ve installed a pool, the opportunity for repeat business, from pool services to pool supplies, is extraordinary, many of the customers of this business have been using them exclusively, for years!

Property Features and Assets:

The 5,000 square feet facility is a well-known one-stop destination for pools/spas and supplies. Located along a busy main thoroughfare with easy access, the facility houses a large showroom, a sizeable inventory as well as work & equipment storage. The rent is $4,000 per month ($9.60 per feet) and includes taxes, insurance & CAM.

Market Competition and Expansion:

While there are other pool service businesses in the NW suburbs, nearly 35 years of continuous operation, long-time experienced employees, a large base of pool & spa installations and the one-stop comprehensive services offered make it difficult to compete with this business. The business is growing and if it were not for heath issues, the seller would be: adding products & services to take advantage of the trends in health & fitness, adding complimentary new product lines (fencing, gazebos, etc.) and implementing on-line sales.
