Business for Sale Overview:
Greencastle Coffee Roasters was established in 1996 and has a well respected reputation. Located only 6 blocks off busy Interstate 81, cash flow is constant and reliable. Customer base covers DC, Baltimore, nearby Gettysburg, Hagerstown, and the local area. Billboards on the interstate constantly bring in new customers. The local area is growing and has been minimally affected by recession.
Greencastle Coffee Roasters offers over 250 coffees, 150 various teas, Southeast asian cooking ingredients, and has retail sales of more than 1,500 pounds of peanuts weekly.
Business is located in a 1930's era former auto showroom with lots of traditional character. Potential exists for expanding business via several methods such as franchise, multiple locations, serving brewed coffee & teas (we have never offered brewed coffee as a matter of disinterest by the owners), promoting & increasing wholesale customers, expanded internet sales, etc.

Market Competition and Expansion:
Although coffee is a highly competitive business, we feel that regarding quality coffee we have no competition in our area. We concentrate on maintaining high quality standards & making few mistakes or blunders. Our service is consistently quick and competent. Other items such as teas, fresh roasted peanuts, & our Southeast Asian cooking ingredients are also handled with consistent quality in mind. It must be realized that coffee tastes in individuals differ, not everyone can be satisfied. We don't try to mimic or copy other business establishments. The fact is, we're too busy making money with our business. We don't have time or interest for paying attention to what others are doing.
Potential for increaing business is unlimited. As witnessed by the diversity of goods we sell, as an independant business person you can add or change products as you wish.
