Description of the business for sale
This is a great opportunity to own a shop that serves a captive customer base in a large private airport in the Central Valley. This is the only shop on the airport that has an ATM, pilot supplies, car rental, food, and convenience items. The store serves the airport's resident flight school students and approximately 2,500 airport employees. Originally the shop was the sole supplier of pilot supplies to the students of one flight school, but that particular school is no longer operating. However, there is a definite need for this shop to continue to provide its other products and services, including car rental services to resident flight school students from overseas. There is also an opportunity to operate the shop as a cafe or provide more lunch items to as an alternative to the airport's only restaurant -without them having to leave the airport. A new terminal for commercial flights has been built and is due to open this summer, which will increase traffic to the area. The owner is working on providing supplies for the other flight school located at the airport and has successfully adapted to the changes in the aviation industry. The owner is no longer interested in continuing to run this business. He is very motivated to sell and is looking to find another business to run closer to his home in the Bay area. Priced to sell and includes a state-of-the-art web-based surveillance and security system, point of sale software, and over $50K in inventory.
