Back in 2016, I launched this Amazon FBA store, but it sat mostly dormant until 2021. That's when I decided to reposition it around a simple idea: sell things people need to restock constantly. After digging into the numbers, I pivoted the store into a grocery-focused operation centered entirely on shelf-stable goods.
Why that category? Because demand never really dries up. Think protein powder, rice, peanut butter, bone broth, spices - the staples people reorder again and again. Over the years I've built real relationships with a handful of distributors, and I now work closely with a select few who give me exceptional pricing thanks to my direct rapport with their ownership.
Buying this business means stepping into all of that - the existing supplier contracts, the negotiated pricing, all of it transfers to you. Day-to-day operations are handled by a single virtual assistant, and my own involvement is minimal: about two hours a week reviewing the books and confirming everything's on track.
Every process is documented with clear SOPs, so a buyer doesn't need prior Amazon or e-commerce experience to step in and run things smoothly.
The numbers: roughly $524,563 in revenue and $86,250 in net profit over the past year, after expenses. Worth noting - I wasn't able to keep inventory fully stocked due to limited working capital, which means there's untapped upside here. A buyer with more capital to put into inventory could likely push sales well beyond current levels.
