Profitable boutique retail store
A profitable boutique storefront in the Shuswap, selling locally sourced goods, bath products and gifts to a loyal local base and to the tourist traffic that arrives every summer. The asking price is $500,000 plus inventory, and the inventory is valued at $300,000.
It trades from 1,432 square feet, well fixtured, on a lease the listing calls highly favourable: under $2,500 a month with renewal options running to 2036. Store operations and that lease sit inside a newly incorporated, independent BC subsidiary, which is what makes either a share sale or an asset sale clean.
The five months from February to June 2026 did $116,900 of revenue at a 58.4% gross margin, annualising to roughly $119,500 of seller discretionary earnings. That is the shoulder season only — it excludes peak summer and the holiday months.
The store runs semi-absentee today, fully staffed with experienced floor and management personnel and a written manual covering every in-store task step by step. The plainest route to more profit is an owner-operator taking back the management duties the current owner pays for. Beyond that the listing points at a B2B corporate gifting programme aimed at Kelowna, sharper in-store merchandising, and a customer newsletter nobody is using.
The owner lives out of province and is selling to concentrate on their primary corporate operations. The name and address are held back until an NDA is signed, which is ordinary for a business whose staff and suppliers do not yet know it is for sale.
