This beautiful historic building presents a dream opportunity for the right investor. Though this building is owned by one individual, there are two addresses which will be included in the sale of this building. The residential property upstairs is a 2 bedroom apartment that would be perfect for a young entrepreneurial couple, or perfect for a rental unit as added income, once it is renovated. As the owners of the building for the past several years, we have done small renovations here and there, but the apartment will be in need of several renovations, which we estimate to cost under $25,000. Downstairs houses a successful pet grooming business, which is INCLUDED in this sale. This turn key business is a rare opportunity for a dog groomer to open shop the day after they purchase the building and will include all of the tubs, decor, social media accounts included Youtube, TikTok, and Facebook, and every other aspect of the business. There are 2 grooming rooms in our building, both of which contain stainless steel tubs. Having 2 rooms allows for the buyer to host an employee, or allow for clients to use the front grooming room as a self serve, as it has an outside entrance. We have used the front room as a self-serve for both employees and self-serve and both have seen success. Our tubs can handle up to 250 pounds and are in great condition. There is also a finished basement, which could be used for a variety of different things. Home office, home gym, living space, storage. The possibilities are endless. There is a very big need for dog grooming in this area and our book of business contains over 3,000 clients from nearby cities like Paw Paw, Decatur, Hartford, Keeler, South Haven, Benton Harbor, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Portage, and more. With a social media reach of over 100,000 views per year, during the busy season, this shop books appointments 6 to 8 weeks in advance, 6 days per week. During the slow season (winter) we are able to consistently book 3 to 4 weeks in advance, 6 days per week. Financial Statements showing your earning potential will be provided to any party that shows valid interest once proof of funds or proof of loan is shown. As for the reason we are selling - we want to give our children a different type of lifestyle in the country on a homestead property. For those who know about the dog grooming business - it is very physically demanding and time consuming. We want to sell our successful business so that we can spend as much time with our kids as possible during their formative years. Selling the business will allow us to do that. We will sign a non-compete disclosure and guarantee to the buyer that we will not open another dog grooming facility within 25 miles of Lawrence.
