Industry: Wholesale and Distributors

Listing ID: 102221

Established in 1978, this wholesale food distribution business has route customers throughout Manhattan and in Queens, NY. It is a small-scale operation based in Mount Vernon, NY but can be relocated very easily. It is run by the owner on a part time basis with no employees but easily expanded with a renewed sales effort. Seller has run this business for the past 43 years and is ready to retire. Business is a great starting point for anybody looking to get into the wholesale distribution business or expand their existing business with another route.

The business caters to independent grocery markets & delis primarily. They offer a wide array of food products, frozen and fresh, available through various vendors. Delivery is made in a company owned International refrigerated truck. A Class B CDL license is needed to operate the truck.

The business has positive cash flow, a refrigerated truck in excellent condition, low rent office and secure parking with access to electric power. There are regular and well-established accounts and a lot of room to grow by switching to operating on a full-time basis.

This wholesale distribution business is being run by an active 80-year-old owner who has scaled back over the last couple years to run the business a part time basis. There is far more demand than he could meet on his own and while he doesn’t necessarily want to stop, he realizes he needs to plan to retire and is looking for someone to take over and grow it back to meet their own needs. Seller is motivated and negotiable.
