Dollar Plus And Party Store

This Listing is for sales in January/February 2025. Call for Details.

This Dollar Plus and Party Store business has been in Watertown for over 12 years. Before that, it was in Waterbury for 7 years. The store is in a shopping plaza and is 1,700 s.f. It is full of party goods, balloons, and miscellaneous merchandise that is usually found in Dollar and variety stores.

Price is $14,500 plus inventory ($50,000-$75,000 depending on time of year).

The store is no longer only a dollar store. Now prices go up from a dollar to $2, $2.50, $3.00, and some items over $3.50.

So, if you want to be your own boss and you are experienced in low-priced retail merchandising – take a look at this store.

Experience is recommended as no financial info will be available – excepting operating costs. When you make an Offer, if acceptable, you will have time to observe and ask the Owner and your advisors any questions you might have on this business and industry.

Store hours are Monday – Friday 10:00 to 6:00, Saturday 9:00 to 4:00, and Sunday 10:00 to 2:00. Total of 51 hours. The store is in a small, fairly new shopping plaza with 9 other stores. Plenty of parking.

The current Owner works the store by herself. Only 51 hours – for retail - that is a “short week”. It is hard to say what sales are because no records will be made available. To make matters worse, now we’re in the middle of the Co-Vid Pandemic (March 2020 - Present).

A thought…One of the reasons this business is priced as it is – is because if you buy, it will be like opening this business 12 years ago (when it first opened up with no sales history). Consequently, you should have some experience or at least want this kind of business. You aren’t paying for Goodwill (yet some exists), so it’s a good deal for someone who wants a Dollar + in this location.

Speaking of location, the store is in a community with the right demographics for a low-priced Dollar Plus party store. See detail in the Executive Summary.

Base Rent is $1,900 per month plus $500 for the CAM (common area maintenance) and $600 for R.E. Taxes. Total rent is $3,000. The Owner is now month to month so a new lease will have to be negotiated with the landlord.

The store is 1,700 s.f. and is a corner unit. The retail area has 10 sections of display area: 3 +/- 27’ long double-sided rows of peg hooks, and shelves in the middle with end caps, and the 4 walls have peg hooks. The backroom is spacious and includes a counter for the employee coffee and food preparation area, utilities, bathroom, storage, and a rear exit door.

Parking is adequate in the plaza. There are more than 17,700 cars per day passing the front of the shopping plaza.
