This turn-key business opportunity is a dream for many outdoor enthusiasts and is priced to sell soon.  Enjoy the lifestyle of operating your own adventure retail shop in a resort town in British Columbia ’s Kootenay Rockies.  Located in the growing resort city of Kimberley , this 3 ½ year old business has seen significant growth in the past eight months, does not have local competition and has opportunities for more growth.   

 

The shop is about 1000 square feet and ideally should be expanded to carry more products to maximize potential.  It takes at least three years for a store to become established in a small town market so this business opportunity offers a head start without the troubles of a start-up.  The owners are proud of the store’s reputation and would like the right person to carry it on.  The asking price includes all inventory, fixtures, and equipment. 

 

Kimberley has a low cost of living and is ideally located for this business to take advantage of the growing local and regional recreational economy.  The tourism prospects for Kimberley are very good and now is the time to invest in this area while it is still affordable.   

 

The Business:
