Business Summary:
This business currently delivers two food products to 52 retail stores ranging from Portland to Eugene. They purchase the products from the food manufacturers (both located in Eugene) and then sell and distribute them at a price markup to the stores. At present, the business is located in Eugene, OR and consists of a local area route and a Portland route. The Eugene route is serviced by a Ford 14 Ft. refrigerated Cube Van and the Portland route is serviced by a Ford E350 Refrigerated 1-ton Van. The vehicles can be interchanged when the Portland route requires the larger vehicle for larger orders. The routes have been established for a number of years and customer retention has been excellent. The seller of this business manufactures one of the products being sold/delivered by this distribution service and the manufacturer of the other product has had a long time relationship with the company. NOTE: This business previously delivered a number or food products to a larger number of stores that ranged in area from Portland to Medford. The additional expenses in labor and delivery costs (primarily gas) did not result in any additional profits and so the route and number of employees has been scaled down to its current status as of June 2009. The owner of this distribution service has been semi-absentee and believes that an owner-operator, with daily monitoring of the delivery and sale process, could expand the products and territory covered with a profitable result.
