Store has 15 dedicated spaces for cars plus ample side street parking for easy access to the market.The breakdown of sales is about $385,000 for grocery, $200,000 for deli, $115,000 for produce flowers and $20,000 for Herbal Medicines, Books Cards. Overall gross margin is about 45% with imported grocery and specialty items carrying strong margins. Sales are being somewhat affected by the recession but the customer base is varied and comes from a wide area for the specialty items, particularly Eastern European. Rent for the facility as noted, is about $100,000 annually, or about 14% of sales. Annual sales should be in the $1,000,000 range to support this rent and that kind of volume could be achievable.

A hands-on owner devoting full time to the store will likely be able to drive sales higher, particularly in more normal economic times. Business can best be described as an upscale deli produce market in Fairfield County in a stand alone building.  ]]> </description>

<description><![CDATA[ Business provides a mobile storage service to customers at $150 per month. Metal storage containers built to owner specifications are stored at the owner's premises and delivered/retrieved by the Company via a flat-bed truck. Established by the owner in 2007, sales for the year 2008 were roughly $50,000 without much personal attention by the owner. Expenses incurred are for truck expense (fuel and repairs), rental of a yard if required, property taxes on equipment, insurance, telephone and office expenses, etc. This is a part-time business, no added payroll required. The current set up is that the business is a satellite of a larger business of the owner run on his existing premises.Total price of the business is $175,000 cash and includes a flat-bed truck with about 15,000 miles on it plus 25 metal storage containers. Another 25 storage containers will be retained by the owner and sold to the purchaser at $4,000 each on an as-needed basis as the business grows. It would obviously be an advantage if the purchaser has a large personal or business facility where the equipment can be stored without renting additional space.  ]]> </description>

It is located just off interstate I-95 and has a fully equipped food service area for a take-out deli or other fast food business which is presently not being operated. In the past, this area of about 300 sq. ft. has produced sales in excess of $1,000 per day. Marginal income on deli sales should be in the 35% range on sales at a minimum. This would be $350 per day or $1,750 per week for a five-day week or $87,500 per year additional profit to the owner and should be added to the figures showing here. Lottery sales run in the range of $70,000 per month at about 5% commission but lottery was discontinued in 2007 by the owner for personal reasons . This lottery commission of roughly $3,500 per month or $42,000 per year, should also be added to the figures showing here. So, by adding the lottery income and the deli income, total annual pretax income will be in the $150,000 range. Rent, including real estate taxes and common area maintenance, is $12,300 per month. Landlord is a major national oil company. Inventory averages about $70,000 and is not included in the purchase price.  ]]> </description>
