A specialty apparel retailer operating three leased storefronts in Utah, in continuous operation since 1997 under its founder, who is now retiring after 29 years.
The business is built on personalized in-store fitting in an extended-size specialty category that mass retailers and online sellers do not serve well. Two of the three stores are long established and together produce roughly four fifths of company revenue. The third opened in 2024 and is still building toward the sales levels of the older two, and it currently carries more rent than the two established stores pay combined. Sales were up at all three locations in the first half of 2026 against the same period in 2025, with second-quarter sales up about 18 percent overall.
Company-wide seller's discretionary earnings were $157,940 in 2025 on the filed federal return. The two established stores on their own are estimated at approximately $201,000 once the third location's current operating drag is set aside, and that third store is offered as a growth position rather than as trailing earnings. The full derivation is in the memorandum.
Each store is run by an on-site manager. The owner handles buying, vendor relationships, banking and financial oversight and is active in the business, so a buyer should plan either to fill that role or to hire for it.
The balance sheet carries no long-term debt and no line of credit. Inventory at cost was $481,202 at the most recent year end and is included in the asking price, subject to a physical count at closing. Furniture, fixtures and equipment carry a net book value of $8,100 and are also included. All three leases are assignable.
There is no e-commerce channel, and more than two decades of customer purchase history built through fitting appointments has never been used for structured marketing. The owner also reports prior DME accreditation and referral relationships with local plastic surgeons, both dormant. Neither is a current revenue line and neither is priced into the asking price.
The founder will provide a two-week transition at no additional cost, with further consulting available by agreement. Financial statements, tax returns and the full add-back detail are available in the data room once an NDA is executed and an introductory call is completed.

Three leased retail storefronts in Utah, two on the Wasatch Front and one in the southwest of the state. Total rent across all three locations was $133,392 in 2025, about $11,116 per month. All three leases are assignable to a buyer with landlord consent and carry customary annual escalators. No real estate is owned by the company and no real estate is included in the sale. Furniture, fixtures and equipment with a net book value of $8,100 transfer with the business, as does inventory at cost.

Business Operation
- Expansion Potential:
-
The third store opened in 2024 and has not yet reached the sales level of the two established locations, so closing that gap is the clearest near-term opportunity. Beyond that, the business has no meaningful e-commerce presence and sells almost entirely in store. The customer purchase history built up over two decades of fitting appointments has not been used for structured marketing. The owner also reports two dormant channels, insurance-billed durable medical equipment and plastic surgeon referrals for post-surgical compression fitting, either of which a buyer could pursue after obtaining the necessary accreditation and rebuilding the relationships. None of these are priced into the asking price.
- Competition / Market:
-
The business competes on fit and personal service rather than price, in an extended-size specialty category that national chains and online sellers address poorly. Independent specialty competition in the three trade areas is limited. The broader apparel retail market is exposed to consumer discretionary spending, to import cost pressure including tariffs that vendors began passing through in 2025, and to the general shift of apparel purchasing online. A buyer should assume continued cost pressure on merchandise and should plan for the working capital the inventory position requires.
