Two established specialty apparel stores in Davis County and Salt Lake County, Utah, trading under one name since 1997.
The business sells intimate apparel with a concentration in extended sizes and in professional bra fitting, a segment that department stores and online retail serve poorly. Customers travel for the fitting service and return on a replacement cycle.
CY2025 sales for these two locations were $1,104,210 with estimated discretionary earnings of about $192,800. Rent runs at 6.1 percent of sales. There is no long-term debt, and no customer accounts for more than one percent of revenue.
Thirteen people work in the business: a manager at each store, an assistant manager and ten part-time associates. Both leases were renewed recently and run to 2030. The owner is retiring after 29 years and will train a buyer through a negotiated transition covering buying, vendor relationships and the financial role.
ASKING $1,019,000 FOR THE OPERATING BUSINESS. INVENTORY OF $346,000 IS PRICED SEPARATELY AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ASKING PRICE, SO THE TOTAL CASH CONSIDERATION IS $1,365,000. Inventory is settled on a physical count at closing.
THREE STORES, TWO LISTINGS. The owner operates three stores under the one brand. This listing is the two established northern Utah locations. The third store, in Washington County, Utah, opened in April 2024 and is listed separately as 286-25467-B at $243,000 for the operating business plus $87,000 of inventory. The two listings exist because the halves are worth different things to a buyer: the mature stores are sensibly priced on what they earn, and the newest store on what a buyer acquires, being its fit-out, its lease, its trained team and the sales it already has. Carried as a single listing, the newest store's start-up costs pulled the combined earnings figure down and made these two stores look weaker than they are. Nothing is concealed by the split. Either listing can be bought on its own, and each states the other's figures.
WHY MOST BUYERS SHOULD TAKE ALL THREE, AT A COMBINED $1,695,000. The overhead is already being carried: buying, vendor relationships, the assortment and the brand serve three stores today and would serve three after a sale, so the same effort covers a wider base. Vendor terms follow volume rather than location, and three stores order as one account. And the newest store is close to paying for itself. It needs roughly $58,000 of additional annual sales to cover its own cost base, it grew 15.5 percent in the most recent quarter, and it is offered at $330,000 including its inventory. A buyer of these two stores would be closing that gap with earnings that already exist.
