Business for Sale Overview:
Offered for sale is a 59 year business located in the heart of the Columbia Basin (Eastern WA). This is a well regarded and profitable glass business. The current owners have been in place for 25 years and are ready to retire. This business sells and installs glass, windows, mirrors, doors, storm doors and auto glass. 75 percent of purchased glass products also utilize the company's installation services.

The well developed customer base includes: homeowner, business owners, State & County agencies, school districts, hospitals, farmers and trucking companies. The subject business is also on the County list for its energy conservation window replacement program. From its highly visible storefront, the shop is also accredited to sell Glidden Paint products and related supplies. Dating back to the 1920's, this Business has accumulated a complete set of NAGS (National Auto Glass Association) auto glass patterns which is regarded by some as the only complete such set West of the Mississippi. Accordingly, a lot of work comes in for the replacement of glass for older vintage automobiles, which continues to be a growth activity for the subject business (to date via 'word of mouth' only (no advertising). There currently exists a great opportunity to expand the business to 'two crews', one inside doing auto glass, repairing window screens, cutting glass doing window repairs. The second crew would be dedicated to on-site window installations, repairing glass in storefronts, replacing doors and the like. The business maintains all the tools & equipment necessary for a full service glass shop. Included in the sale will be a Chevy Van with glass rack and tools and a Chevy S-10 advertising 'show' pickup. A complete list of tools & equipment is available upon request. This a 'Turn Key' established business and is the only business of its type in town. Business continues good evening through these rough financial time.
