Fabrication Shop with Real Estate - Idaho Falls,Idaho

Acquireo.com — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:01:49 GMT

THE COMPANY Dal Fab Machine, Inc. has successfully operated in Eastern Idaho for over 16 years, employing over 20 employees and specializing in fabrication-welding and machine work. The independent shop offers a large amount of diversity and service to the market. The crane-boom truck offers another product line featuring 57 foot main crane and 20 foot jib. The boom truck could be a profit center by itself with minimal marketing and full time operation. Over the years the owner has actually geared back his operation because of lack of interest in hiring and training a large crew and then beating the bushes for work. The company has a strong list of repeat customers that the owner-operator takes care of on a regular schedule. Core work for company has been installing, repairing, and selling material handling equipment such as augers, conveyors, bucket elevators and dust collection equipment.

Well Established Pizza Franchisor - Boise, Nampa, Meridian,Idaho

Acquireo.com — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:01:49 GMT

THE COMPANY This company was started in Boise by its restaurant/franchise senior management team. The company has opened seven stores within a four year period and although it has focused primarily upon Idaho and neighboring states, its franchise system can be made available right now in all but the thirteen registration states. The right buyer will have the energy and financial strength to properly market and grow the concept either through company owned stores, franchise stores or a combination of both. While providing highly popular pizza/pasta/salad on a constantly resupplying fresh basis, the concept enjoys one of the lowest food and labor costs in the industry. When positioned in working class shopping center neighborhoods commanding significant lunch business and family oriented return dinner potential, this varied and full service (yes, dessert pizzas!) provides something for everyone including reasonably priced soft drinks (great margin) and even beer and wine opportunities at the option of the franchisee.

2-Location Check Cashing/Payday Loan Bus - Withheld,Idaho

Acquireo.com — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:01:49 GMT

THE BUSINESS These well established locations, in two communities, are each positioned on very high traffic count arteries with easy entry from both directions and have ample parking. Both locations licensed by the State of Idaho s Department of Finance cash checks, make payday check loans and send money orders. At any given time there is about $200,000 outstanding in loans. THE REASON FOR SELLING The strength of the control systems and the high degree of employee dedication allow the owners to operate the locations with very little time expended. However, the owners recently decided to redirect their efforts into other commercial ventures that are capital intensive. Accordingly, the owners desire to sell their Western Idaho operations to facilitate that change in location and direction of operations. THE POSSIBILITIES New local ownership could increase revenues by actively marketing the business, increasing both the check cashing volume and number of payday check loans. Agreeing with other businesses to provide on-site payroll check cashing services is another alternative available. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION •FF&E: $5,000

Acquireo.com — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:01:49 GMT

THE BUSINESS The Meadows Valley Market is a grocery store located in beautiful New Meadows, Idaho. New Meadows is approximately 11 miles south of the resort area of McCall, Idaho. The Meadows Valley Market building has been a grocery store since approximately 1941. It is the only full line grocery store within at least an 11 mile radius. New Meadows is a scenic mountain town. In the last five years, the town has transitioned from reliance on the timber, mining and cattle industries to the current greater economic impact from recreation and tourism. Currently, the local economy has seen significant improvement resulting from the real estate boom driven by retirees or semi-retirees, second home/recreational users, and new full time residents desiring to escape the suburban areas to enjoy a rural lifestyle. Indeed, the impact on the Meadows Valley Market has been obvious with an increase in revenue from approximately $1,000,000 in 2002 to approximately $1,360,000 in 2006. The change in demographics and economic growth has also had an impact on the store s product mix. The store has seen an increase in the sale of higher margin items such as gourmet food items, meats and wines. Going forward, the growing popularity of organics and specialty food items among grocery shoppers will be an area of growth available in the Meadow Valley s market area.

THE COMPANY This company operates out of two stores in the Treasure Valley. The business has had a presence in Boise for over ten years and has a mix of 70% retail and 30% to landscapers and interior designers. The only competition for the store is big box retailers and those retailers do not have 10% of the selection in size, shape, color and texture. The company has made all of the international contacts for this successful import, retail and wholesale business. THE LOCATIONS Both locations are on busy streets in the commercial areas of the two largest cities in Idaho.
