Description:
An established, multi-channel holistic-wellness and lifestyle retail brand is offered as a going concern in Ontario. The business sells wellness accessories, giftware and mindful-living products through a small network of stores in major enclosed shopping centres, a growing e-commerce channel, and a complementary vendor-marketplace platform.
Under single ownership, it pairs high-margin product retail with recurring, inventory-light income from a proprietary multi-vendor marketplace that hosts roughly two dozen local artisan vendors, alongside an in-house private-label line. The store network was recently rationalized to a leaner, lower-cost footprint, and management has identified e-commerce as the primary growth avenue.
Income profile:
- High gross margins (circa 80%) on low-cost, giftable products with strong repeat and seasonal demand
- Recurring, inventory-light income from a vendor-marketplace platform (~two dozen artisan vendors on a proprietary multi-vendor POS)
- A growing online channel and an in-house private-label line
- Revenue approaching $2M with adjusted earnings around $300K
