While this retail feed, seed, and farm products company significantly increased sales in 2008 it also brought in one of it's best annual profits. The business is located on prime commercial real estate at the intersection of two major regional highways. This well-established company enjoys a large, far-flung and long-term customer base that includes the majority of both the biggest and the smallest local farms and ranches in this rural California county. Key to customer loyalty are its sources of supply for the best hay and grain; over many years the present owner has cultivated critical supplier relationships with prime producers throughout the region. The business is profitable and sales have grown 45% since 2005. The location, store, storage buildings, and primary warehouse (all real property is offered for lease or purchase), as well as the customers, the suppliers, the business systems, the trained workforce, the reputation, vehicles, forklifts, and other equipment are all in place and provide a solid platform for growth in this essential retail field. The locale is a picturesque and livable small urban area with a vibrant university campus.

Facilities: Lease of approx. 7400 SF warehouse bulk agricultural goods warehouse and approx.1000 SF retail store and office on roughly 1 acre. Convenient & very close to intersection of major highways. 3 Forklifts including 1 w/ hay squeeze, 3 P/U's for deliveries including 1 flatbed, 2 hay elevators, and 1 air compressor. Very ample parking, outdoor storage, covered and easy loading area, plenty of turn around for 18-wheel hay trucks. Busy lumberyard & other complimentary businesses next door.

Competition: An established ag, grain, and hay business near the center of a lush rural county, right at the hub of two major highways - it's a great location demonstrated in year-by-year sales growth.

Growth/Expansion: The company is positioned to supply not only its core ag and retail accounts but also to expand to other large local natural resource clients. The company is already growing but more marketing to both big and little customers could pay off here!
