The seller has been an independent distributor of greeting cards and accessories since the early 90 s. Sales exceed $400,000. The business is currently operated out of the seller s home. Most of his customers are located in southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Because he is independent, he can market his business anywhere and, therefore, expand the business as he chooses. Over 150 clients include pharmacies, groceries, and general merchandise stores. The business has historically experienced less than 1% bad debt. They own almost all of the card display fixtures in the field. They also rent a small warehouse which contains excess fixtures and a trailer. The successful buyer of this business needs to be a very active sales and service oriented individual. This company sells directly to the stores and stocks their customer s shelving units. Seller has developed a very successful blueprint for running this type of business that can be used in taking this business to the next level.

Facilities: Assets include over 100 greeting card display units and a trailer.

Competition: Seller is the primary independent greeting card distributor in the area.

Support/Training: The seller will stay as long as necessary to ensure the success of the buyer.

Reason Selling: Other business opportunity.
