Vanguard Resource Group has successfully represented the buyer and the seller of a thirty-year-old auto parts distribution company. The seller started this business from his garage over 30 years ago. He then grew rapidly and transitioned from a printed catalog company to virtually 100 percent ECommerce over the years. Through its efforts, VRG identified dozens of qualified buyers, presented three offers, and eventually sold the company to an experienced ECommerce executive relocating his family from Orange County, California.
This business was part of a nationally known franchise brand, and the San Diego location was one of the system’s top-performing franchisees. VRG was engaged to facilitate the business sale and, through its extensive marketing efforts, obtained hundreds of inquiries, seven offers, and one successful closed transaction. While the deal value and the name remain confidential, the deal was valued between $1MM and $5MM.
The Seller lived out of the country and now can enjoy the warm sunny weather and waters in retirement. The buyer, an industry veteran who owned other businesses with similar employees and assets, is now ready to grow the business to new heights.
We wish the seller a happy retirement and the buyer much success. Selling a business in San Diego is not easy, but if you or someone you know is interested in selling their San Diego Business, please contact us!
After over three decades of ownership, the Seller felt it was time to retire and simply their life. Ramona Cafe had become an institution in the small town of Ramona and became famous when it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Vanguard Resource Group was retained to find a buyer who would carry on the tradition of providing high-quality meals and great service at reasonable prices. After extensive marketing, VRG identified a buyer with a strong restaurant background and had even owned a similar diner in Del Mar years before. The buyer purchased both the diner as well as the real estate, which were both pre-approved by an SBA-preferred lender. By purchasing both the business and the real estate, the Buyer was able to lock in their occupancy costs and avoid future escalations related to renting.
Next time you are up in Ramona or on your way to Julian, stop in and have a meal or pick up one of their legendary cinnamon rolls! VRG, the leader in the sale of San Diego businesses, wishes much success to the new owner and a happy retirement to the seller.
