Description of the business for sale
This is a fresh meat route that has successfully operated in Westchester for the past 22 years.Several years ago, the owner/operator bought an additional refrigerated truck and hired two drivers to deliver his route for him.He made this change to 'get out of the street'!The owner's week consists of 4 mornings (M,T,Th,Fri)spent at the Hunts Point Market (Bronx) buying already pre-ordered merchandise, then advising his drivers on truck loading & finally returning back to his office. The 3-4 hours spent in the morning frees him up for most of the day (barring no delivery problems). Another 2-3 hours is spent in the later part of the afternoon calling customers for their next day deliveries.A comfortable $2500 per week income can be generated this way. Should one desire to save on operating (gas, parking & maint. & insurance costs)the extra truck & driver salary, an extra $600+ per week can be earned by operating everything off of one truck. This is the method Seller used for over 15 years & could certainly be re-introduced, as long as one is willing to put the exra hours in(with Seller's help to Buyer).
GROWTH: MOST DEFINITELY ... fresh produce,provisions and grocery items can be added.
COMPETITION: This route's product line (fresh meat) is widely needed and widely marketed. You are buying a STRONG loyal customer base and the education as to how to successfully service them!
