Great (once in a lifetime opportunity) to own Camera Craft!

Hi everyone, first I want to say thank you for your friendship and support over the years, I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve you!

2020 was not a good year for Camera Craft, and many businesses around the world, due to the pandemic, but we came roaring back in 2021 ... and 2022 was our best and most profitable year in our 100 year history! I would love to see Camera Craft carry on, as our community needs a camera store and can easily support a camera store ... and at the same time provide a very comfortable living to the owner(s) ... thanks to you!

Time is running very short to close a deal and I've priced the store to move at a bargain price! For the cost of my inventory, plus $25k, this local iconic business could be yours. Currently my inventory (all current and relavant) is $150k. In addition, you would need approximately $50k in the bank to cover your monthly operating expenses, which includes inventory purchases throughout the month, as well as covering rent, utilities and payroll. That total to own Camera Craft is just $225k for a very profitable business and a turnkey operation, with everything in place, including revenue from day one from an established and loyal customer base. In addition to my significant $$$ take home the past two years, the store had a profit of well over $80k each of the past two years.

If you love photography and people, and would enjoy helping others with their photo needs, this may be the perfect opportunity to take the reins of a very successful, locally owned camera store into the future.

Opportunities like this are few and far between. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out to me right away to discuss further details.

Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
