Summary Description

This well-established rural convenience store is located on a busy commercial route. It is located in one of Maine’s scenic lake and recreation areas.

It has an inside seating area for 20 people. The store is noted for its wide selection of novelty items. Sales are year-round with a strong peak in summer. The sale includes real estate with an additional 16 acres of undeveloped land.

General Information

Year Established: 1972
Employees: 9 Full-Time; 12 Part-time

Facilities:

The store is approximately 2,500 SF with a full foundation. The business has 380 feet of highway frontage on 16 acres of flat developable land. The store was remodeled in 1997 and has been very well maintained.

Market Outlook

Competition & Market

The store is dominant in its market and has a prime location that serves year-round and seasonal customers. There are no nearby grocery stores and its nearest competition is about half its size. Year-round residents, summer vacationers and winter sports enthusiasts make up the store’s diverse and growing customer base.


Growth & Expansion:

This area of Maine will continue to grow in both population and vacationers. Located on sixteen acres of land, there is plenty of room to expand the store, add new products and develop new ideas. The location and traffic count would lend itself to expansion into related businesses such as a truck stop, and/or restaurant.
