For the trailing twelve months the business produced $656,478 of revenue and $146,215 of seller's discretionary earnings, with a gross margin near 49 percent, and it carries no debt. It runs with two working owners plus one full-time and one part-time employee, and carries about 8,000 curated titles. Roughly 98 percent of book inventory is returnable to publishers for credit, which removes the obsolescence risk that usually discounts retail stock. A curated backlist of 250 proven titles, each selling more than 15 copies a year, transfers already identified, and purpose-built store fixtures made specifically for bookselling convey at $50,000 of fair market value in place.
Beyond the numbers, the store is a beloved, welcoming anchor in its community, and a new owner steps into that standing and goodwill from the first day. The asking price is $425,000 for the business, plus saleable inventory at documented cost of about $70,000, offered all cash for the business at closing. The owners also own the real estate, which is available separately for lease or purchase. Two to four weeks of owner training are included.
Clear growth is left for a new owner: online sales, in-house author events and institutional accounts each sit at or near zero today, and there is no active email or loyalty program on an already-loyal, half-repeat customer base. A strong fit for a relocating owner-operator or an existing retailer. Listed by First Choice Business Brokers Montana (FCBB Summit office). A signed Non-Disclosure Agreement is required before any identifying detail is shared.
