What are the benefits of buying a convenience store in Colorado?
Owning a convenience store business is a good investment for owners looking for both an owner-operator or absentee ownership business model with employees. Buying a convenience store is a valuable business opportunity to become part of a community and provide a high level of customer service, take advantage of an existing lease contract and customers familiar with the location & brand.
Why should you think about buying an established convenience store?
In markets like Denver, Colorado there are two great advantages for buyers to buying a convenience store. The first is location, Colorado’s commercial market is tight, so buying a convenience store business allows you access to business locations you could not otherwise find. The second great advantage is that setting up a vendor and supply chain for a business can be complex, but when buying a company this structure is already built into the business.
Are the products usually included in the sale?
Depending on the convenience store for sale, the products and inventory of the business may or may not be included in the asking price. If the business has limited cash flow or the owner is dealing with a difficult personal situation the business may be listed as an asset sale, where the asking price is based on the value of company assets (FF&E) often 10-50% of their full value and may include the inventory. Many times, the inventory is included at an additional cost to the purchase price. However, inventory can be a great place to negotiate the terms of a sale and your business broker can help advise you on how to manage this.
Are most convenience stores franchises?
When buyers think of a convenience store for sale, it is easy to jump to a big name like 7-11, but not all convenience stores are franchises. Though there are a variety of great franchise business opportunities for business owners to buy into, there are also great independent convenience store and gas station businesses for sale. Transworld is able to help owners buy into both opportunity types and as a franchise company ourselves, we have unique insight into the benefits of both.
