Overview of Business:

This Specialty Auto-Parts Distribution Franchise was established in Minneapolis-St Paul in 2006 and is part of National Franchise Network with 240 locations in North America. This location is currently Corporate owned and operated by the Franchisor serving 1,970 local wholesale customers, has grown both organically and through acquisition to become one of largest Franchise operations by revenue in the network, achieving sales of $4.8 million in 2010 and a EBITDA of $420,000. Projected sales for 2011 are estimated to be over $5 million. 

This turn-key “Sales & Marketing” business presents a compelling acquisition opportunity for a new owner-operator to further expand a growing and profitable wholesale distribution outlet in the $220 billion automotive aftermarket parts business. Company anticipates the continued introduction of new product offerings will increase Franchisee sales and profits substantially over the next few years.

The Company differentiates itself from competitors by providing customers with a 90% same-day fill rate with extremely competitive pricing. This level of service is unmatched in their five major product categories and is critical to the success of professional installers. The Company’s sales and inventory management systems are the most advanced in the industry and provide a significant edge by streamlining “back office” functions and processes allowing the owner to spend more time building relationships with customers. The Company’s focus on “hard to stock” aftermarket parts has made it the go-to source for reliable parts and fast delivery.

Company is seeking a qualified buyer with sales, marketing, and management experience to capitalize on existing Minneapolis-St Paul operations, the Company’s expanded product lines, and future planned new growth initiatives.
