Iconic specialty foods business
A specialty foods retailer in Vancouver, owner-operated for more than three decades, offered together with the two commercial properties it trades from. The $9,025,000 is the combined package: $2.2M of enterprise value for the business, $4.5M for the first property, $2.325M for the second.
The business turned over $4,327,000 in FY2026, a five-year compound growth rate of about 1.5%, with seller discretionary earnings around $547,000. The pricing guidance of 4x SDE is placed against top-quartile positioning: brand longevity, diversified revenue, a management bench, and no debt.
The listing benchmarks it against 727 BC specialty food retailers under NAICS 44529 using StatsCan 2024 data — a current ratio of 5.84x against a 1.20x sector average, receivables collected in 2.8 days against 8.2 industry-wide, near-zero debt where the sector norm is a 1.0x debt ratio, and $4.3M of revenue held flat across four consecutive fiscal years through two rate cycles.
Property One is a freestanding industrial-hybrid warehouse, production facility and retail showroom on a heavily trafficked east-west arterial in East Vancouver: M-1 zoning, 400A three-phase, dock and grade loading, extensive upgrades, a 96 Walk Score, a clean Phase II environmental just completed, and a densifying corridor around it. Guidance is $375 per square foot at a stabilised cap rate of about 5.33%.
Property Two is a ground-floor commercial strata unit in an established urban village node near Kitsilano, Downtown and Granville Island — a 99 Walk Score, three secured parking stalls, extensive upgrades, an affluent catchment and tourist traffic. Guidance is $1,500 per square foot at a cap rate of about 4.67%.
The structure is share sales of three holding companies only, and earn-outs will not be considered. Real estate can be taken with the business or arranged as a sale-leaseback. The founders are retiring. Addresses, names and identifiers stay withheld until an NCNDA is executed, and the process runs expression of interest and proof of funds, then a vendor meeting, then LOI, then SPA.
