Business Overview:

This cash-flowing, discount and liquidation retail operation is now available for sale in a solid North Carolina market near Charlotte NC. This opportunity has already been pre-qualified with an SBA lender, positioning it for a faster close with the right buyer. The flagship store is a full-scale discount liquidation business carrying a broad mix of name-brand, deeply discounted merchandise — health & beauty, toys, clothing, electronics, groceries, furniture, and more — drawing an estimated 10,000+ shoppers a month. A second location operates as a home-improvement-style liquidator, moving discounted tools, appliances, flooring, and building supplies. A third site which is a dedicated overflow warehouse supports seasonal inventory for both stores, keeping the sales floor constantly turning over fresh product. Average revenue across the past two years was $1.27M, with Seller's Discretionary Earnings of roughly $199,500 for a business that runs on a largely absentee ownership model, with a capable on-site manager and staff handling day-to-day operations. Inventory is included ($175k value) along with FF&E and a company wrapped 16-18ft box freight truck. The FF&E features a $25,000 state of the art security system. Two things set this business apart from a typical discount retailer: • A disciplined, pricing model. Every item is discounted 30%–75% off from the benchmark a "no gimmicks" pricing system (backed by a $25K remote security camera setup) that's a core piece of the brand's trust with customers, and one the current owners are prepared to teach a buyer in full. • Deep, longstanding closeout and salvage supplier relationships that are difficult for a new entrant to replicate — the real engine behind the daily inventory turn, and a key part of the training the sellers will provide. The sellers are retiring and are willing to remain on board for up to three months (with flexibility to extend for a longer transition) to train a buyer on the pricing system, supplier relationships, and day-to-day operations. Highlights: • SBA pre-qualified — financeable, fast-track path to close • Two-store + a warehouse footprint with strong, established customer traffic • ~$1.27M average revenue / ~$199,500 + SDE (2024–2025) • $175,000 inventory value (included in purchase price) + FFE as well as a 16-18ft truck • Rare below-market lease locked through 2036 with lifetime renewal • Well established and coveted pricing model • Established closeout/salvage supplier network — a genuine barrier to entry • Absentee-ownership model with capable on-site management in place • Extended owner training and transition support Before any more information can be shared, buyers must provide a Confidentiality Agreement and other information showing they may be a right fit and financially qualified to purchase.
