Business for Sale Overview:

The March Group, LLC currently represents a very well-established and profitable Great Plains chain of building materials and home improvement stores, operating successfully for more than a century under the same family ownership. Boasts an advantageous relationship with a national supply organization. Achieved 2007 sales of $10.9 million and EBITDA of $282,000, with demographics favoring renewed revenue and profit growth through 2010. The Company also owns and operates a ready-mix concrete plant, which returned 2007 sales of $1.65 million and EBITDA of $85,000. On the whole, all growth is organic as the Company engages in a negligible amount of outside sales and marketing activities. Retail centers are strategically located in communities into which the big box retailers can not justify entering, and therefore face very limited competition. Lumber is the Company’s most popular product line, contributing approximately 26% of combined revenues, followed by mill work (21%), building materials (18%), drywall and roofing (13%), and hardware (9%). Small contractors and do-it-yourself customers comprise the Company’s consumer base, contributing 60% and 40% of sales, respectively; the customer base for each location is drawn primarily from within a 20 mile radius of the store. Combined, the Company’s wholly-owned facilities total 188,619 square feet of prime retail space; any and all properties are available for sale or long-term lease along with the business. A strong store-level management team would be willing to remain with the Company indefinitely.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The Company’s modest sales and marketing efforts to date provide an outstanding opportunity for new management to effectively accelerate growth over a very short period of time. Business development efforts are currently spearheaded by a limited inside sales staff; development of an outside sales staff could almost immediately accelerate sales growth.
