Fish Smoking Business + HOME!
This is a Great Situation for Someone who wishes to live in the countryside (3+ acres) and also own/operate a business that produces enough revenue to cover mortgage payments and also provide a living without having to endure a 'boss' everyday.
This business has been in existence for 12 years. The brand name Leo's Gourmet Smoked Fish is well known throughout Western Washington State as well as east of the Cascades in places like Yakima, Wenatchee, Ellensburg.
The fish smoking shop is located in an 800 square foot building on the property and includes 2 commercial grade smokers (hot smoking) as well as space for raw material preparation, refrigeration and the storage of packaging/shipping materials. The current owner is primarily focused on the productions of smoked fish products from either King (Chinook) Salmon and Steelhead.
Gross annual sales at this time are $ 70-75,000. Most sales activities involve convenience stores throughout the region although there are several accounts that involve significant monthly sales volumes to regional seafood stores.
The owner desires to retire owing to health issues but is willing to provide training to the new owner in all aspects of the business including: product preparation, recipes, packaging, health & sanitation issues, marketing and sales. The current owner, for health reasons, is only working 20 hours per week to produce the above stated gross revenue. A new owner, able to work a full week and with ambition to 'grow' the business should have no difficulty. Other local raw materials that could also be smoked and distributed, using the same production facilities include: oysters, sturgeon, halibut, sausage, albacore tuna.
