Business Summary:
PRICE REDUCED!
Fifteen years ago the seller was frustrated that Idaho Falls did not offer a quality service outlet that carried a full line of lawn equipment, snow blowers and parts. Without any formal business experience this company now has distribution rights to eight core companies and the rights to several others. It is the largest service center supporting a radius of 60 miles, offering professional and timely service to commercial-municipal-agriculture accounts and at the same time supplying residential customer’s quality tools and products with the best service in the area. The shop employs trained technicians who are qualified to work on small engines, transmissions, and chain saws generating a strong contribution margin. This business is the anchor service supplier for the community, with on site management, updated Point-of-Sale software, and quality and professional mechanics.
The company offers a large retail floor area for the core products; specifically lawn and snow removal equipment. The company has operated successfully since 1995 from the same core location. The parts area has been modernized with Point-of-Sale software that has been incorporated into the service department. Service has been an anchor product mix for the business. Over the years the company’s success has captured the market that supports a hub of over 100,000 by replacing or out competing several other service locations. The company’s sales have hovered around the one million dollar mark for several years with a blended margin slightly higher than 20%.
The company focuses on giving exceptional service to the lawn care industry. Their core customer cannot wait to have the equipment repaired; the shop has several work areas and the company employs trained and professional technicians. The demand in the service area is steady from the time the grass grows till the frost hits the ground, then the company’s focus is on the repair of winter and snow equipment. New product sales continue to be strong because of the strong service department and the stock-on-hand parts division.
