Family Owned Established Christian Retail Store - $299000 (Alcoa, TN)
~ Bible Store in the Bible Belt ~ How Can You Go Wrong!!!
This is a family owned Christian Supply and Bookstore near Knoxville, TN. It is the largest and oldest Christian Supply Store in Blount County. The store has been in business in this area since 1993. We carry a huge line of products including Books, Music, Sunday School and Church Supplies, Bibles, Christian Apparel, Jewelry, Gifts, Specialty and Cutomized Promotion Items, Special Orders upon request and much, much more. We have an established Website and an On-Line Amazon store. We also have a Kiddie Corral for kids to play while their parent shop and two (2) sound booths to listen to music or sing-a-long with a soundtrack. But most of all, we have established a wonderful ministry with the community and have customer that come just to talk and visit with us. But....
My parents really need to retire (again). My Dad ran a manufacturing business in the Chicago land area for 40 years, retired to TN and bought this business from a retiring couple from their church. They really need to slow down ... and as long as the family owns this store, it's not going to happen! He'll probably come back and visit you -- so put him to work (free of charge) -- ha-ha!
There are currently (6) partners (not all on payroll and not all living in TN). The Website, the Amazon Store, Financials and Inventory Reconciles are currently being handled by the partners living in Illinois. So manage from your current home or relocate to the beautiful Great Smokey Mountain area.
The store is as much of a ministry as it is a business to the owners. There are many great relationships already established within the community and the many churches in the area. (There's a even greater potential for Church Account Sales since Blount County has over 500 Churches in the area.) It is an ideal situation for an energetic couple or Christian family to make a living and be a witness!! Of course, we cannot control who buys, but we hope and pray it will be someone who has the same mind set. Enjoy a rewarding career by making a difference in others lives, owning your own business and living in a warm, sunny and beautiful place!
This will be a turnkey sale!! All inventory, systems, computers, cash registers, equipment, furniture, fixtures, Amazon Store and Website is part of the sale. The only thing that changes is YOU the new Owner! (All A/P and A/R to be retained by current owners, giving the new owners a true starting point.) We have well over $100,000 in inventory and 350+ church account contacts. Training, business resources and back up will be provided to the new owners to ensure a smooth and successful transition. We have a great relationship with the Landlord and can help you negotiate a great lease. Or relocate to your own building and/or add to your existing business location.
The bookstore is located in Alcoa, TN (just outside of Knoxville) in a busy shopping plaza. Just recently, a boot store and a major clothing outlet moved into the plaza further increasing customer traffic. Other tenants in the plaza include a pizza parlor, a Jenny Craig, an art gallery, a computer store, the Goodwill store, a dollar store, a bank, McDonalds, and a lot more.
Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day / Father's Day, Graduations and VBS (Vacation Bible School) are the high volume sales periods. Act now before the upcoming holidays to leverage your return on investment and start out with a bang! The Store has been listed with a broker for $325,000 . . . However, we have the option of securing our own buyer and therefore can pass on the commission savings to you ... we are listing here for only $299,000 ... or make us an offer!!!
