Active
Established Meat Market In Central FL
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a well-established butcher shop specializing in high-quality, all-natural meats catering to a diverse customer base. The company operates as a true butcher shop, offering custom cuts of fresh meats, including beef, pork, chicken, specialty meats (alligator, elk, venison, bison, and more), offal, and related products like sausages and bacon. The company’s meats are not only superior quality to larger supermarkets, but they are also more affordable by as much as 50%. The unique combination of providing hard-to-find, custom-cut, all-natural meat at an affordable price keeps demand high.
According to industry data, meat markets are benefiting from greater consumer demand for locally sourced foods, including meats. Consumers are more interested in where their food comes from, how the animals are treated, and that meats are free of hormones or antibiotics. This consumer demand, combined with significant growth in the community, positions this business for continued success for years to come.
Key Highlights:
- Diverse customer base (50% are local retirees; 20% are eccentric item shoppers; 15% are various walk-ins; 5% food trucks)
- Average customer spends $50+ per visit on average
- Specialty meats not offered at supermarkets drive consistent traffic (goat, lamb, rabbit, duck, offal, alligator, venison, elk, bison, and more)
- Custom-cut fresh meats are in high demand, providing a big advantage over supermarkets
- Diverse choice of suppliers allows for affordable pricing with strong margins
- All natural meat products (no additives or hormones attract growing demand for healthier food)
- Proven marketing drives consistent traffic
- Two reliable employees currently run the business and are willing to stay
