Competition: History and tradition that cannot be copied or replaced. This is an authentic, one-of-a-kind treasure. Combining a sense of nostalgia with an inviting and friendly atmosphere has been a long-standing formula for success. The more recent addition of high quality, gourmet food products has provided a revenue and margin contribution not otherwise available to typical convenience stores,markets and gift shops.

Growth/Expansion: THE BIG OPPORTUNITY! The advent of internet sales has opened a window to reach audiences around the world with premium products. Success and demand to date has proven the market presence, but the potential has only been scratched. The internet represents logical outgrowth of a steady mail order business for gifts and specialty products, with plenty of room left for growth. Combining toll-free telephones with the internet offers a tremendous opportunity to market products globally Greater attention to online ordering and a store with Pay-Per-Click

Support/Training: Owner will provide 30 days transition training and support. Particular attention will be paid to suppliers of unusual goods from across the country

Reason Selling: Wants to pursue other interests
