This landmark family owned business sells fireplaces, mantles, gas logs, wood burning stoves, fireplace accessories, and also has a comprehensive barbecue center! It is the exclusive dealer in the area or state for many of its product lines. Best of all, the well trained staff are experts at helping customers get exactly the right product that meets their needs; plus they service everything that they sell. The company has a large wholesale presence. Many of the areas home builders rely on this company to provide them with the fireplaces that they are installing in the new new homes that they build or remodel. They could go anywhere-and they go to the best. Several of the current employees have a contractors license, but the new owner should be a contractor or plan on becoming licensed within a reasonable period of time. Growth opportunities abound. Because the owner is near retirement, he has not engaged an outside sales person to work with real estate developers. A new owner should. Also, because there is so much land available at the site, summer products should be brought on: sheds, hammocks, porch furniture. With the high cost of heating oil, people are looking to cut down on their heating oil bills by adding wood burning stoves, pellet stoves, and gas fireplaces. The future has never looked brighter!
