Landmark Candy Shop In Coastal Maine Seeking New Owner

Several times each summer, your family takes a day trip to one of Maine's amazing coastal towns. You spend the day walking up and down the small, often windy, streets exploring the cool shops.  Every time you do this, you and your significant other talk about how it would be great if you gave up the life you have in order to live out your dreams of running a tourist-centric business in one of these towns.

But, it is just a dream.  You never really act on it.

What if this time was different?  What if, this time, you found a potential business opportunity, put together a business plan, and went to the bank?

Of course, it would have to be the right opportunity before you started investing your time in the project.  Well, this could be that opportunity!

The Business

Uncle Willy's Candy Shoppe is on Bay View Street in Camden.  The store, which is a favorite of young and old alike, has been in business since 2015.  The BizQuest listing explains that the business is so popular that it has a string of customers tugging on the door even when it is closed.

The store comes with the real estate where it is located.  The 1,900 square foot building was renovated just before the store opened.

The current list price is $950,000

The Market

According to Wikipedia, the Town of Camden has a population of about 5,200 people, but hundreds of thousands of people visit the seaside town each summer.  Yachting and sailing have been big in the town for over a century.  In fact, there is a windjammer festival in the town each summer.
